Reflecting on the time our former presidents spent praying, researching, listening, and executing, I am thankful! Though America has its problems, we are still one nation under God because of our former presidents, who used their time wisely.

While celebrating our President’s Day, have fun with these crafts from kaboose.com.

Happy President’s Day!

Question: If you could be a United States President for one day, what would you do to change the world?

2012: Daylight Savings Time – Spring Forward

If you live in the land of Daylight Savings Time, then we will lose an hour of sleep tonight. Never fear, we get to gain our hour back on November 4.

As you saunter off to dreamland, be sure to set your clock ahead one hour.

I still remember missing Daylight Savings Time and noticing it on Sunday afternoon. Glad I found out on Sunday. Had it not been, I would have been late to work on Monday morning. 😉

Enjoy your day, even if it is a little shorter.

Happy Daylight Savings Time!

Question: Will you be changing the batteries in your smoke detectors?

2012: Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

March 17, 2012 by Tracy

Wishing you the luck of the Irish today! Beware of those who pinch if you choose not to wear green today. (I already pinched my hubby for his failure to wear green. Couldn’t let him get away with it. 😉 )

For those who love the holiday spirit, you might find a parade or enjoy a quick view of Chicago’s parade including the dyed-green Chicago River during the scenes from The Fugitive (1993).

However you spend your day, enjoy using time wisely on this
