Bed time is the best time…and get your mind out of the gutters people!! I’m not referring to what I’m SURE a lot of you are thinking about. I’m talking about that quiet time with your family, in my case…my husband and our 2 year old daughter. Every single evening is pretty simple and some may say ‘boring’ at our house. We eat dinner, hang out, play with to... Read More »

You think you are doing fine, or you don’t want to feel deprived. You should give it a “wirl” and see how it really goes.

We recently moved and inherited a dining room with white/cream colored carpeting. This immediately became a concern with a toddler living in the house. Our two-year-old son refuses to sit at a smaller sized table and chairs in the kitchen and demands to sit at the big table with the grown ups.

Becoming a grandparent is one of the most wonderful events that can happen to you in your lifetime. No one can describe the joy that having a grandchild brings to your life. You think you might know how its going to feel but it is quite different than becoming a parent. The excitement of seeing your child becoming a parent is also so gratifying and heartwarming. There’s nothing better!!... Read More »
A while back, I wrote a post about doing something for yourself. I mentioned that after a pretty shitty year, I had decided to do something fun for myself and had signed up for the Blog U Conference. I knew absolutely no one who was going and knew basically nothing about it, but the website had pictures of ladies wearing really ugly prom dresses, and that looked sort of like something I’d enjoy, s...
