As I stood at the crossroads of deciding to bite the bullet and set up a blog - or not - I wondered if every blogger has struggled too? Or was it a sparkling success they've dreamed of when they finally got going? Or did they find it best to follow how someone else's blogging pad… Continue reading How to add a radiant factor to your blog

A perfect empty nest friendship gift
I've discovered, as a little birdie in an empty nest, alongside a handsome Mr. who humors me, we can do this empty nesting thing. Well, not really, we're both still learning.
