Launching in 5-4-3-2-1

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” – Harriet Tubman Launch day is a huge event for those who are part of the NASA team or SpaceX. Countless hours and a hefty price tag of up to $450 million dollars are required for Nasa to launch a Space Shuttle mission, according to the Nasa.gov site. It is a BIG deal and there is a lot of pressure building up to the ... View the Post

Every Summer Has a Story.

While the official first day of summer isn't until June 21, I think it is safe to get out the flip-flops, grab a beach towel and jump into my favorite season of the year. I have always been a sunshine girl who loves the long summer days,  the taste of fresh fruit,  family reunions, being outside, and grilling. And did I mention the fireflies! Talk about magical. I have to admit, one of the coolest things about moving from CA to TN is seeing those light up as they dance around in the ... View the Post

Root-Bound

I love playing Wordle. When I guessed PLANT on my second try, I was elated. I had so many things on my "to-do" list but I decided to set the list aside and headed to the local nursery to look for colorful plants instead. I looked forward to spending time in the warm sunshine, digging in the dirt, and creating something worthy of spring, after all, PLANT was the wordle of the day! When I got to the parking lot I realized others had the same idea. As I walked up and down the aisles ... View the Post

Baptist Girl’s Look at Lent part 1

Growing up in the Baptist tradition, I had never been exposed to Lent or the rich history and traditions surrounding the Lenten Season. To be honest? I feel a bit cheated! Advent and Lent are traditions that lead up to the two most important calendar days in the life of a Christian. Christmas and Easter. For me, Easter was all about everything that could be crammed into one Sunday. Decorating eggs and learning about palm branches. Singing songs that included  Hosanna and "The Old Rugged ...

  Big News!  I have a new book coming out in June but it is already up on Amazon for pre-orders, just click the picture in the sidebar or visit Amazon here.

PLAY-DOH ~ I’ll supply the recipe…you bring the fun~

When I saw that September 16 was Nationa Play-Doh day I knew I had to post this recipe. But, when our kids were growing up, every day was Play-Doh day:~D It is nice to see the simple play-doh, invented in 1956 is still popular. And after selling almost 700 million pounds, their sales are still going strong. A few weeks ago my three-year-old grandson was over. It was a rainy day so playing outside wasn't an option. "I can make some Play-doh!" I pulled out the simple ingredients ... View the Post

welcome It is hard to talk about me, without talking about us!    The Seither Family.  John and I have been married for over twenty five years. From the day we said “I do”, it has been quite an adventure.  One of the biggest things people notice about our family is the size. Yes, there are six kids, proof that  God has a sense of humor. I tell people that ask if we are done with six. “No” I promptly reply. “We were done at four! But the last two were too cute to send back.” Read More
