Welcome to Collins Conundrum

So how has everyone been? I keep promising to blog more, but with work being extremely short, one kid graduating high school and off to college, another kid who is adjusting to his sister leaving. Family functions and some things just too much to go into, life has just been crazy. So saying all of […]

Here we are at Memorial day already. The year is flying by so fast. Hopefully this weekend has brought each of you rest and reflection, a chance to make memories and a kick off to summer. I am very guilty of thinking too much. I was thinking today of the sacrifices of so many. Imagine […]

What a day today can be. A day of showing our love for the mothers in our lives. A day of sadness for those whose moms have gone to heaven and a day for longing for those who want to be a mother. A day of so many emotions. We have so many blessings in […]

Hey you’all. I hope everyone has been well. Things at the Collins household seem to be on a gerbil wheel. One day runs into the next. Work, household chores, school, and the never ending cycle of responsibility. I know it is that way for each of you and it can be monotonous and a blessing […]

So today is International Women’s Day. A day to celebrate the uniqueness of being a woman. We are unique, we are different, we are blessed. We juggle work, homes, families, love, spouses or boyfriends (and hopefully not both ladies). We are nurses, cheerleaders, maids, cooks, chauffeurs. We are a beacon of love and warmth, compassion […]

Well here we are the beginning of another month. Time does go by quickly. What have you guys been up to? Here at the Collins household we are on WW, hearing back from college applications, working and many times all this gets in the way of relaxation. But so many blessings in this conundrum of […]
