Coming to you live from Sebring, Ohio where I am keeping mom company as she heals from her hip replacement surgery.  She is fortunate to be able to be in the rehabilitation center that is connected to Copeland Oaks – the retirement community where she Continue reading →

More Than A Hanger

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Writing/ 7 Comments/ 550

A hanger. A simple item used to hold clothing. As I worked on cleaning out my closet, taking out so many clothes that I no longer wear or need I noticed this little hanger at the end of the row. It was empty. It has Continue reading →

A Change of Scenery

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Travel/ 22 Comments/ 549

Last week I spent a little time with my mom.  It’s been kind of a rough summer for her and I hate that. In July we helped her move from her house in the retirement community to a two bedroom apartment in  “The Big House”. Continue reading →

Quilted With Love

Beth Ann Chiles/ Crafting, Family, Photography/ 6 Comments/ 637

As I was helping my mom move and clean out a few things a few weeks ago we ran across some quilts on her quilt rack.  The apartment she has moved to is a bit smaller than the 2 bedroom house she lived in and Continue reading →

Happy Birthday to Our Baby

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family/ 21 Comments/ 3645

It’s Aaron’s 28th birthday today and we spent the weekend with he and 3 of his friends.  We laughed, ate a lot of good food and enjoyed our weekend more than words can convey.  Isn’t it wonderful when your kids grow up and they turn Continue reading →

Teary Eyes, Full Heart, Can’t Lose

Beth Ann Chiles/ Animals, Family/ 22 Comments/ 4021

One of my favorite television shows of all time is Friday Night Lights.  No – it IS my favorite show of all time.  Coach Eric Taylor always had a way with words and one of the phrases that was used continually throughout the show was Continue reading →

How One Remote Changed My Life

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Life stories, Products/ 19 Comments/ 3830

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/ 3704

We are at a crossroads of sorts. Developmental Disabilities. Down Syndrome. Alzheimer’s Disease. All three of these things describe my brother in law, Carlton, whom I have written about before here on It’s Just Life.  I have only written about him here because I love Continue reading →

Chrisisms. They’re Back.

Beth Ann Chiles/ Family, Humor, Writing/ 22 Comments/ 3886

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 →

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...

The Good Girl
by Mary Kubica
I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr
This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...
An Abundance of Katherines
5 of 5 stars
An Abundance of Katherines
by John Green
Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
