IS IT FRIDAY YET?!

You know your week has started off rough when you’re asking if it’s Friday yet by Tuesday. The daily grind of work, family, and all the demands this world can place on you can be too much some days. Do we have clean underwear? Did I pay the light bill? Oh…we’re out of milk already? What am I going to feed the beasts that live in my house? But…that’s what life if all about. That’s what our journey is about. The ins and outs of daily life. And….for the most part…it’s not glamorous. It’s downright brutal and tedious at times, but that’s the beauty of it. As mothers, we push thru and get it done. We might be worn slap out by the time our head hits the pillow at night, but we always recharge, and take the world on again the next day.

Here’s to all the moms out there that get it done day after day. Keep going. Somewhere in all the craziness is the good stuff. Family, friends, love, and happiness.

Independence Day

Happy 4th of July everyone! A day to celebrate our many freedoms. A day to honor the many who fought and sacrificed for the liberty we today enjoy. So…enjoy your day. Grill some hamburgers and hot dogs. Eat some watermelon. I’ve got some peanuts boiling as I type. Take a moment, and give thanks for the brave men and women who came before us.

Hi. Welcome to my Blog…the Good Stuff with Stella Elaine

I am a wife, mother, and career woman. I constantly have several fires I am tending. So to speak. I hit the big 50 this year. I have kept a diary or journal since a very young age. I believe 50 is a time where I’ve got quite a bit of life experience under my belt. Love, heartbreak, frustration, joy, anger, exasperation, etc. Join me as I write about my life and daily observations. What shaped the woman I am now? What’s next? How have I changed? We all have our own unique story, but let’s take a walk together on this journey of life. We might find out that we have more in common than not.
