Budgeting Creativity

Something very exciting is coming for me, but it’s sucking my creative time and energy away from the blog. It’s been in the works for a long time, and if all goes well, should be well on it’s way by next Monday.

I Choose Kathryn

Seems I was so busy yesterday that I missed out on Blog for Choice Day. But Kathryn, over at Daring Young Mom, did not.

I Blame Global Warming

Today has been a very unusual day around the Wishful Thinking household, and I think it has something to do with Al Gore.
