Ominous question at times, yes? You are standing in the kitchen working on a grocery list when you realize all of a sudden, the house is much, much too quiet. At that precise moment, you KNOW your precious little cherubs are up to something. What will it be this time?...

This question was posed to me by my step-daughter when she was four years old. At the time, I had to sit down and think on that for a bit. What does resurrection look like? It’s not like we experience it in our daily physical world. Being brought back to life is not...

In honor of my step-daughter’s 15th birthday I thought I would describe for you some of the ups and downs of my first 13 years with the title, Stepmom. As you know there are two sides to every story, two perspectives of every event and different definitions of what is...

How do you introduce yourself? I have to say, sometimes I don’t know who I am. Of course, Karen is my given name. But in that moment of introduction was I a wife, chef, mom, maid, chauffeur, project manager, blogger? It’s easy to get lost in the day to day, from day...

The answer to most of life’s daily challenges used to be duct tape. Now, it’s a Ziploc! I’m being serious! My family has dubbed me “The Ziploc Queen” rightfully so because I am known to pull out a Ziploc in just about any situation for any of a myriad of reasons....

Slipping and sliding down a slimy slope is simply no surprise when semantics take center stage! So, if the GT (Gifted and Talented) lingo and programs feel like water slipping through your hands, no matter how hard you try to hold it, take courage, that’s how we all...
