I know it is two weeks after Halloween. I have been sitting on this story for over 2 weeks. Because really, it is kind of embarrassing. However, I will admit that I too am human. If I can tell embarrassing stories about my kids, I can rat myself out once in a while. My Mom…

Writing Challenges
I have made it a personal goal of mine to post once a week and write one article a month. I have been doing pretty with my personal challenges. However it is not as easy as it seems. You would think that I could just sit down at my desk and pound out a post….
Beyond the Typical Gifts for 7-9 Year Old Girls
It’s a joke that my mother never tires of… my girls are the Thanksgiving turkey, a Christmas ham and the Easter bunny. Because each of my girls’ birthdays are less than a week from these holidays. In a few weeks, the fun will start for me. I will not only be stocking up for Christmas…
The Games We Play
My girls and I play a game. This game doesn’t have a name. When we go to the mall we go into Bath and Body Works, Yankee Candle, White Barn or one of those other smelly stores (as we call them). The winner of this game is the one who finds the most hideously odoriferous scent….

I am Continually Surprised
We had a book club meeting last weekend, and one of the ladies said “I looked up you blog and I really like it! It’s cute!” And inside I did a little happy dance and jumped up and down and screamed they like it! Somebody likes it! On the outside I was calm and collected…
Borrowing with Permission
I don’t want you to think that I’m too lazy to write my own post this week, but I just came across a friends article that is totally worth sharing. I could have not better stated how I feel than what she wrote. (If that sentence isn’t confusing enough) I couldn’t have said it better….
