Last week, my older Girl Scout troop (Juniors and Cadettes) and I (with a few parents) went to the Sonoran Glass Art Academy and participated in the “Blow Your Own Ball” project. It was SO much fun and all of the glass balls turned out absolutely gorgeous. I’ve looked at them all and [...]

Our favorite “Children’s Fiction” Books We’ve Read in 2007:

Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey, and the follow-up One Morning in Maine; These sweet stories capture Maine in its pure form. Blissfully happy, we see the girls Sal and Jane, as they go through significant milestones in their lives. I can barely get [...]

Few of these came out in 2007, and many are underrated by critics and reviewers. That doesn’t stop us from forming our own opinions as to the best movies and television shows we’ve seen this year. If your family and friends don’t have these, consider them for presents this upcoming Holiday season. Again, these [...]

Here is a list of the Top 10 Favorite Purchases that we’ve made in 2007. Any of these would make wonderful Holiday gifts for yourself and those you love. My family helped me compile this list and it is in no particular order. Movies and television shows will be in the next post.

Today I am reminded that I can always be more thankful for everything that I have in my life. To celebrate this, I’ve added a “Favorite Photographs” section to my site. You’ll get a new, random, photo from Do Life Right displayed with every reload. I will be adding more frequently, so you should [...]
