 I love decorating and making over a room... so when I heard of the One Room Makeover Challenge.... I was all in! Here's the deal.... the challenge is you have 2 days and a $200 budget... I thought our bathroom would be perfect for this. You see, some day, when we tear up all the flooring, we are planning on a big remodel/refresh for the whole house. And when that happens I have big plans for this bathroom.... a soaker tub, a see through glass shower, a real stone sink top, new vanity, flooring, closet, etc. But until then.... a little refresh will do wonders! So here's the story on this bathroom... When we bought the house 15 years ago, this bathroom was all decked out in its original 70's style.... blue and pink wall paper, blue floor, blue tub, yellowed blue marble sink and yes, a blue toilet! (Sorry about the picture quality- it was before I had a digital camara.) We got rid of just about everything.... except the ugly blue tub, always ...

  Love is a funny thing. I have loved, and lost, and loved again.  I figure, that I am doubly blessed to have loved twice.  Love doesn't just disappear when you lose someone. It's always there, a constant reminder of what once was.  There are different kinds of love, that's true, but it always has been and always will be, love. Love doesn't Fade with time - it doesn't burn out. Love is like memories - in our hearts. It still makes me smile. It makes me dream. It helps me forgive.  You can always love more than one person, but there will always be one person you love the most. To my husband Stephen, you are my love, my everything... and I choose to always, and forever, love you.  Thank you for being My Love! Happy Valentine's Day! -Rhoda

It's never been a secret that  I do not enjoy being a mom . But when most people hear that, they think I hate my kids or that I'm a horrible person... But the thing is... I don't say it to be mean or cruel to my kids but rather, I feel this way because my kids deserved so much more. I'm sad that the way my kids grew up wasn't the way I'd have chosen to raise them, if I knew then what I know now. I wish someone would have told me the honest truth about having kids. You see if I could go back and do it all over, my kids would've been raised without TV, a computer or cell phones. There would have been no sweets or soda pop. No plastic toys, or barbie dolls. They would have had a structured schedule and routine. They would have been able to play sports, do Gymnastics, and go to dance and music lessons. They would have grown up in a good church, with best friends, young folks, potlucks, singing in nursing homes, and having guests over for Sunday dinn...

I have always loved driving. The longer the drive and louder the music, the better I like it! A few months ago, I became a driver for a Ford Car Dealership. It pays next to nothing, but it helps me keep my mind off my health issues, gets me out of the house, and gives me a sense of fulfillment. I take and pick up cars at the auctions, do dealer trades, and drive customer cars. Sometimes I get to drive fancy high dollar cars... the mustangs, pick up trucks, and explores are still my favorite. I love my job. I love to drive. It's what I was born to do!

I thought this book would be great for me to review... self control is something we could all use a bit more of.... especially me... and especially when it comes to food! Author's Note: Why can’t I control my anger? Or stop overeating? Or wasting time online? Why can't I seem to finish my projects? Or make progress in my spiritual life? Why do I fall for the same stupid temptations over and over again? When we fail, its easy to make excuses or blame our circumstances. But let’s face it: the biggest enemy is usually the one staring back at us from the mirror every morning. We lack self-control. Self-control isn’t very popular these days. We tend to think of it as boring, confining, the cop that shows up and shuts down the party. But the truth is that people who cultivate this vital virtue lead freer, happier, and more meaningful lives. After all, our bad habits—from the slight to the serious—bring a host of painful consequences. Ultimately, they keep us from becoming the pe...

I love following home decor accounts on Instagram ... I love clean lines, minimalist, Scandinavian, cozy homes. I love black walls and I love large plants! So, when hubby and I were down in Indy back in October and I found this fiddle fig for $20, I brought it home.... washed it down with Basic H and found it a cozy spot to live by my east living room window... Oct. 7th, 2018 Here's a little fact about me.... I have always had a green thumb when it comes to outdoor plants, but I usually kill houseplant within a few months.... except for devils ivy.... I've still got the original plant from when my oldest daughter was born and that's been almost 19 years ago. But over the last couple years as my health has declined, I've spent much less time outdoors and started focusing more on house plants.... So, with every new leaf, I celebrated. With every month that I kept it alive, I celebrated. I liked that it had two stems when I first boug...
