Never Say Never

Share

Funny how life has a sense of humor.  I distinctly remember saying out loud how I didn’t care for country music.  My parents listened to it quite a bit. Back in the day, it was Kenny Rogers, Barbara Mandrell, Dolly Parton and Juice Newton that you’d hear in my home.  It was okay, but nothing Read More →

There’s My Zen

Share

Nothing fancy. There’s a mom and pop massage place down the road, I absolutely adore. You won’t find warm towels, meditative music, or mood lighting. It resembles more of a nail salon or corner barber shop than the places I’ve visited in the past. In fact, the walls could use a nice fresh coat of Read More →

Life In An Instant

Share

Fellow mom blogger Stacy with Kids Stuff World has a great, timely blog series called Life In An Instant – a snapshot of the things that make you grateful.  One photo immediately came to mind. Taking pictures has been a hobby for as long as I can remember.  I’m not a pro or anything, but Read More →

Bye Bye Pinkies

Share

So excited, I purchased my new sneakers this weekend.  My pinkies (the name I gave them, although they favor a salmon tint) are finally being put to bed.  4 races, more than 100 runs, over 30,000 calories burned – it feels good.  I went a little goth with my new pick, mostly because these would Read More →

The Soap Solution

Share

When “All My Children” bit the dust earlier this year, the reason given – dwindling audience interest in soaps.  Immediately I thought of what I’ve heard from so many people.  American soaps just never end.  I think that was part of the problem. How many times is a character going to get married, change careers, Read More →

Smiling Through the Ugg

Share

Woke up sick as a dog Sunday morning, not able to hold anything down. I cursed all the Halloween candy I shouldn’t have eaten the night before during Redbox night with the hubby. I still feel like crap, but at least finally digesting some soup and ginger ale without incident. My only other meal today Read More →

Call me Mom, thanks!

Share

Ever have one of those days where the questions are coming from all directions? Yeah, that’s a typical Wednesday (or Tuesday, or Saturday etc. etc.) These days I’ve had to emphasize more than ever to my brood that my name is “Mom,” NOT “Mom-Can-I.” Mom can I this, Mom can I that – before I Read More →

Embracing the Techiness

Share

It’s finally happened. That moment when you turn to your kid and ask them to help you with a gadget. ShaiAnne has come to my rescue and her brothers are not far behind; they love technology. I definitely have to keep tabs on it, but I encourage it. When ShaiAnne has a question about something Read More →

The Family Logo

Share

This year, we’re fortunate that our schedules allow for dinner as a family most days of the week. Deric calls it “Family Food Talk”. It’s a fairly new tradition this school year, since last year was sort of a whirlwind with our move, schedules, lots of changes and finding our groove. Now with all the Read More →

Let The Grind Begin…

Share

It was back to school week, last week, and it was Deric’s first year.  Like most first days of school, the parents are usually more emotional than their kindergarten counterparts.  We looked like a mob of papparrazi, following their every move armed with fully charged cameras, phones and camcorders. Some of the kids did cry Read More →
