Whether you’re a parent of two or a mother to many –it’s hard to get me time. And us time? Just forget it. In a world that takes us from school to soccer and from work to Walmart and back again, how do we find time for each other while still finding time for ourselves…

It’s Constitution Day. See the U.S. Constitution up close — not in Washington D.C. — but in Savannah, Georgia. Georgia Historical Society has a draft copy of the United States Constitution, one of few still in existence. The draft includes the handwritten margin notes of Abraham Baldwin, one of Georgia’s signers of the Constitution of…
Glimsity producer, Carol Wirth, directed the camera to this cozy corner in Lily Bay Studio + Bazaar during the gray morning at the time of the video shoot.

For many, August marks the first weeks of getting back to school. And that’s when it begins… GERM WARFARE!! Kids drop like flies out of classrooms. The remaining few muscle on wiping their noses discreetly. Teachers send out emails for more tissue boxes needed. The endless cycle of exposure to germs and building up the…
Once in a blue moon is a phrase that means rarely does something happen. And here it is happening now. On July 31st we experienced the rare blue moon, which actually isn’t blue. It’s when a full moon occurs twice in one month, which happens an average of 2.7 years (according to this very helpful…
Watching and hearing water flow can be soothing for the soul. Why do humans find waterfalls and fountains so appealing? We need water to survive, but more importantly we need fresh water. Standing stagnant water can be repulsive and at times poisonous. Waterfalls signify healthy fresh water. Originating from rain dumping new water into the…
Summer weekends filled with visiting friends and family? Take a host gift! We found these cute ideas in the Lily Bay video footage. Wooden fish pegs are festive for the season. A single candlestick with a colorful candle makes a nice entry. Or just the candlesticks dress up any dinner table. Decorative cabinet knobs are…
I can’t say I know much about soccer…football…or futbol. But I do understand the sound that rings around the world with one word, GOOOOOOAL! Amid the heightened state of euphoria surrounding the U.S. women’s soccer team winning the 2015 World Cup, I read many articles, columns, and heard commentary on the subject. Most notably, player…

Sit back and breathe it in because in the low country, there is no other way. The low country is a place where even the most wound-up and high-stress individuals have no option but to relent to the way of life that is dictated by the area’s natural surroundings. It is said that the low…
It’s time to feature the ones that make their cameo appearances and at times steal the show. These furry friends and family members are very much a part of the lives of the people we film in our videos. And since Glimsity aims to go beyond the image into the personality of the business, there…
Maybe it’s the longer days that we don’t want to end or the busy schedules that ring-in summer; somehow sleep seems to be in short supply these days. Some people need more and some need less, but it’s reported by the National Institute of Health that at least 40 million Americans suffer from chronic, long-term…
The benefits of doing business with a locally owned business. Ross Kaminsky, family owner and operator of Southern Motors, says one of the differences about being a locally owned business is that decisions are made on the spot. With an owner present at every location, they can consider requests that get the customer on their…
It’s a busy time of year for teens (and their parents). Graduations, sports schedules, end-of-the year parties, not to mention exams. Who has time for a doctor’s appointment? It’s nice to hear from a doctor who can empathize. Glimsity is where you can get to know a doctor (and if your kids will like him)…

Ever wonder where the word kindergarten came from? Neither did we, until we learned today is designated by the U.S. Congress as National Kindergarten Recognition Day. “To recognize the historic tradition of kindergarten in the U.S. and its contribution to preparing children for their educational achievement and experiences.” …So we wondered what is the history…
We heard it’s Hug-a-plumber today, but is there a day for the AC repairman? With summer coming, we think it’s a good idea to show him some love. While we’re at it, what about the trash pick-up guys?

An eager child enters a new class in preschool. His teachers say he has trouble listening and following directions. He is constantly sick while adapting to new germs. His mother (that’s me) sends him off to school hoping for the best. He’s missed out on so much of school already, and I have exhausted PTO…
For those not just playing one, Happy Doctors’ Day! Doctors’ Day is a national observance to honor those committed to the care and treatment of our health. It also marks the anniversary of a major medical advancement – the first use of anesthesia in surgery. On March 30, 1842, Dr. Crawford Long first used gas…
As the story goes, Horton is an elephant whose extra-large ears give him super acute hearing to hear a talking speck of dust. He is the only one able to hear the Whos that live on what is not actually a speck of dust, but a microscopic planet, home to Whoville. Compassionate Horton insists he…
I can’t get that guy from Project Runway, Tim Gunn, out of my head sometimes. “Don’t ever buy anything without trying it on!” I agree, Tim! But I am busy. I just don’t have the time to shop, and I’d rather not spend my free time dealing with crowds because the only time I have…
A Friendly Reminder It’s that time of year when you walk into the grocery store and kaboom, a rush a red explodes from the seasonal aisle. And no matter how much DVR, Netflix, Prime or Hulu, nothing can stop the creep of Valentine’s Day messages into your day. Even though we have received ample notifications…
Ever take vacation off work only to come back to the burden of settling back in at work? The mere thought of The Return discourages many from taking the time off or they choose to stay tethered to work while on vacation. This year, I went somewhere far away where Internet access wasn’t readily available.…
Enough already with the colds! My poor 6 year-old son, when teased by his older brother about the snot running out his nose, said, “I know, I can’t help it! When will I stop getting colds? It’s just I get a cold and then I get another one.” (He truly talks this way). One, no…
Only 13 percent of all family-owned businesses make it to the third generation. There are the factors that seem obvious of why the majority of businesses don’t carry on to other family members: no younger generation, no younger generation interested, economic conditions, and more. But who are these 13 percent of businesses that make it,…
I confess I was a little slow to catch on to the holiday spirit this year. Maybe it’s because while still out shopping for essentials, I felt slapped in the face by the holiday marketing spirit prematurely. The month of Black Friday left little time for a casual re-entry. However, I had a pleasing shopping…
Indra Nooyi, Chairman and CEO of Pepsico, said in Fortune magazine when asked about her success in leadership, “Never stop learning. Whether you’re an entry-level employee or a CEO, you don’t know it all. Admitting this is not a sign of weakness. The strongest leaders are those who are lifelong students.” In this same article,…
The table is set, the turkey is served. My friend is seated next to her father-in-law, on his right. “Can you pass the cranberry sauce?” No response. “Can You Pass The Cranberry Sauce?” He turns. “I’m sorry, dear, did you say something? What do you need?” “Oh, just the cranberry sauce please.” (Eat, drink, talk.…

I love a fluffy bed. In the home design trade, they call it loft. Piled high with pillows, duvet, top sheet, blanket or bedspread. No matter how much I love my duvet in the colder months, it migrates to the foot of the bed because my husband kicks it off. My feet are ice cold,…
I have rambled on before about rods, reels, lines, boots and assorted other gear for hunting tailing Redfish on the coastal marsh flats. I have a few ideas and theories about the fish themselves, some of value, some probably not so much. The Habitat When Redfish spawn, their larva ride the tide inshore into the…
People don’t have enough time in the day, which makes experiencing the Isle of Hope way of living – even if it’s just for a day – worth it. Isle of Hope is a historic coastal community in Savannah, Georgia. It is surrounded by water on a high tide. The heart of this island beats…
We can all tell stories of countless minutes on the phone with the phone company debating your phone plan, or discovering the cheeseburger that never made it into your bag after 20 minutes in line at the fast food restaurant, or standing around waiting for a salesperson to bring your size in the shoe off…
Dental fear, anxiety, phobia, whatever you want to call it and to what degree. I had it once. It took me a while to get over one bad experience. In hindsight, it hinged on three key factors: Painful experience. I lost an old filling in one of my molars and needed it replaced. That’s all…
South Africa, a place where the not-so-distant past is riddled with division and despair, which makes it ironic that this is a country of great warmth, not just climate-wise. For a nation that was so divided, how can South Africans be some of the warmest people on earth? As an American, I can attest to…
I have spent considerable time over the last twenty or so years wandering around the marshes near Savannah, the value of which may be lost on some. Most of that time there was a fly rod in my hand and I was hunting tailing, feeding Redfish, or as they are known here Spottail Bass. I…
We spent a morning with Savannah realtor Chris White and a client he was showing houses to, while shooting a video. We looked at quite a few homes with them on our tour through Downtown Savannah. Not all of the footage made it into the final cut of the short video, some lacked “curb appeal.”…
It’s a small business nation out there. Correction: It’s a family-owned business (FOB) nation out there in which 90 percent of businesses in the U.S. are family owned or controlled, according U.S. Census data. Those range from corporations like Walmart and Ford to small businesses with under 500 employees. That is a surprising number when…
How did Labor Day begin? I am not a historian, but I can share a good story I heard on PBS. While there was a growing movement for a national Labor Day in the late 1800’s, it wasn’t until after a strike in Pullman, Illinois outside of Chicago (home of the Pullman rail cars) that…
All across America, children over five will be occupied for the majority of the day, five days a week. Their busy brains will feast on language arts, social studies, math, science, art and whatever else is on the uniform shirts I pulled out from last year. One, white uniform shirts should be outlawed. Two, I’m…
While most humans take off weight in the summer months, our dog puts it on. He’s a very large black Labrador retriever. He tends to stay inside when it’s hot out, but will slim down again in the fall when he is out doing what he loves – hunting. Swimming is key for retrievers because…
You know you’ve had children when you DVR the nightly news. I gave up the nightly news a while ago, it was hopeless. However, one evening when the kids’ shows ended and programming rolled over into the Newshour, I caught a valuable piece of news (after multiple rewinds). It began with the usual depressing message…
As the urban legend goes, someone moved from a smaller older updated house to a larger newly built house where they doubled their square footage and cut their energy bills in half. I am guilty of passing it on in a conversation or two. Fast forward to the other day, I am a bystander in…
Last Christmas, Santa dropped a joggling board on the porch for my two sons ages 5 and 7. The joggling board was painted in its traditional Charleston green and blended right in with the porch furniture. Like many of you reading this post now, I had no idea what a joggling board was. Was it…
