What does my money support?
We spent our day off today on an “artists’ date” - recharging our artistic batteries. We went to explore antique shops up by the Illinois/Wisconsin border. The first shop we went to was run by a talkative middle-aged man who actually lived in the 1860s house that was his antiques showroom. Only his bedroom was off-limits.
We […]

I finally have permission to post about this.
You know how everyone’s Ma tells them to accept people just the way they are, rather than trying to change them? Well, everybody’s Ma is correct.
My poor husband has been afflicted with a series of my bad choices. The man has endured ridicule for my mistakes. Here then, is lesson number 429 in “How to […]

Plugins! Plugins!
This is one of the main reasons I switched to wordpress.org - the ability to have all kinds of amazing little widgets and functions on my blog (really, the ability to customize my brains out)!
And oh, I’ve found widgets. And plugins. And bears, oh my! Here are some of the places where I found really […]

My website transfer and setup adventures
Yesterday’s home improvement took longer than I expected, so today I’m wrapping up the transfer of my blogs and website to a new host. So far it’s all been pretty easy.
This morning I transferred my website files using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) which is an application that I used from Filezilla. Filezilla produced a page […]

Transferring a web domain
I’ve been working on transferring my professional website domain, pearlwriting.com, over to my new host, Bluehost. It took just a couple of clicks and a call to my old host, Homestead, to make this happen.
However, word to the wise: don’t let your old host cancel your account before you have completed the transfer! I had […]

Wordpress.com to Wordress.org and Bluehost
To use Wordpress.org, you actually download their application to your host or computer. Wordpress claims that they have a famous “one-click” download to a host, or a five-minute installation on your home computer.
Thursday night, I botched my first attempt at the one-click; Bluehost guided me through a quick and easy install after which I could see my files […]

Under Construction
Things may look a little weird around here while I migrate from Wordpress.com to Wordpress.org. My plan is to get my professional website, personal and professional blogs into one application, because I have big big plans for my future. I will be working on monetizing my blogs and expanding my website, while saving lots of money […]

If Jesus was a Dad
It seems to me that the bible doesn’t give me enough examples of parenting a teen. The book of Proverbs offers excellent advice from a parent to a child, but I don’t imagine any child sitting around long enough to hear all of it. Say, for instance, that Jesus had been a dad of a […]

Reason 3,652 for loving my husband
Because in the middle of the night, he’ll twine his fingers around mine and kiss my shoulder in his sleep.
Just FYI, this infection is knocking me out. I may need Last Rites. I suggested to Little One that it is really a tumor, but she doesn’t believe me. She’ll be sorry when I’m gone. P.S. […]

You know That Guy
…the one who knows everything and is always right? Well, I had a conversation with him last night at church. He asked how I was doing and I mentioned that my sinus problems were getting worse–
“You should see a doctor.”
“Yeah, I actually saw a specialist yesterday. And he has me doing this new treatment–”
“Neti pot,” That […]
