Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Nourishment

Although it's been a sweltering summer, I hope the season has nourished you. It's very easy to pour into others, because of the external gratification that can come from those acts of service.

Tim Burton’s Claymation Movies

When I think about my childhood, the word Stopmotion comes to mind. During my elementary years, my language arts teacher made a point of introducing our class to Claymation, a type of Stopmotion.

Don’t Forget About Dad’s Hospital Bag

Since Dads aren't the focal point of labor and delivery, it's very easy to forget to prep them for the big day. There's plenty of articles and books about "Mom Essentials" and "Do's and Don'ts for Newborns". Fathers are briefly mentioned or glossed over.

Motivational Mondays with Trisha: Wind

Does it feel hotter this Summer than last year? That's how I'm feeling. Not so much the Summer days, it's the nights that feel hotter than they should be. Since I can't literally cool you down, I felt like figuratively using wind quotes to ease the heat. After all, a Summer breeze is refreshing when... Continue Reading →
