How One Remote Changed My Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories, Products/ 19 Comments/ 3760

I live in a household with too many remotes.  I admit that we have a lot of “toys” between the husband and I and sometimes those items come with a price.  In this case the price is having a bunch of remotes. It may not Continue reading →

Crossroads

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories, Writing/ 41 Comments/ 3613

One of my most popular topics on It’s Just Life has to be my posts about Chrisims which are witty little snippets from my husband.  Chris has a way of turning a phrase and over the past few years I have taken to writing these Continue reading →

Steno Pads and Grandma Bonnie’s Recipes

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Recipes, Writing/ 25 Comments/ 6316

Do you remember steno pads?  I am not sure if they are as popular as they once were but steno pads used to be a staple in almost every house.  Even if there was no secretary office manager in the household you could almost always find a Continue reading →

Today is Mr. Diamond’s birthday and I am woefully unprepared for it.  I usually try to make a big deal about it since it is just a week before Christmas and he usually gets gypped and this year I just have not gotten organized to Continue reading →

Old Girls in Low Cotton
by Helen Childress
This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...
