What I love most about this season are the beautiful colors that surround us at just the right moment. Do … Continue Reading...

Verified Mom - Phyllis — Sat, 09 Dec 2017 20:23:45 +0000

Sadly I don’t get to do much holiday traveling. But when I do, there are certain things I do and bring with.

Christmas and My Own Consumerism #Blogmas2017

Verified Mom - Phyllis — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 22:20:41 +0000

Christmas and consumerism. I just had an eye-opening discussion with my oldest daughter about Christmas and consumerism here in the United States. It made me question my own purchase as I hit the “Buy Now” button on my computer screen to purchase a new iPhone case for myself. Somehow, somewhere along the line, I made a somewhat unconscious decision that it was “ok” to spend money not only on others but myself during the busiest … Continue Reading...
