I must be living under a rock. Until last Monday, I had no clue what planking was. If you too have been living in a dark place with unaware of the latest internet crazes, let me help you. Planking in the most basic of terms is lying down, perfectly stiff with your arms at your side. Sounds silly and simple, right? It can be. Often pictures of planking … [Read more...]
Daughter Removed From Botox Mom’s Custody
May 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I'm all for someone receiving Botox injections. In fact, I've received my fair share of them. Give me 24 units of Botox for my birthday or Mother's Day and I'm a happy girl. But giving them to your 8-year old daughter?! I try not to judge others as I haven't walked in their shoes but in cases like this were common sense is no where to be … [Read more...]
Wait For It
April 12, 2011 by 2 Comments
Over a month ago I teased all of you. I told you I had the biggest shock ever and then didn't elaborate. In fact, I didn't even mention it again which left some of you wondering what the heck was going on. So you probably thought either I was being dramatic or lying, which sometimes can be confused. Well, I wasn't being either. I was actually … [Read more...]
Food for Thought Friday – Supporting Your Local Food Bank
March 19, 2011 by 2 Comments
During the holiday season the spirit of giving is everywhere. Donations are made so everyone can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal, toys can be giving to children at Christmas and homeless men have a warm place to sleep at night. Our differences are forgotten and the community embraces one another. That feeling slowly fades the further we get from the … [Read more...]
Sick of the Sickness
February 9, 2011 by 5 Comments
Poor kid. Sent home last Tuesday with a mysterious rash.Allergic reaction. To what you ask? No clue. After begging her pediatrician's office to see her (they are swamped with a stomach flu outbreak) she gets some Benadryl and a note to return to school. I fear she'll get sick from the doctor's office. Friday, same week, gets sent home as … [Read more...]
Sew I Made A Pillow
February 4, 2011 by 7 Comments
The simplest of pillows but I I made it all by myself. I'm hooked. Aside from the math involved, I love sewing! I'll admit, I was totally intimidated the first day. Probably because everyone in my class was working on advanced projects. They had their own fancy machines, sewing bags with all the tools and used words I thought I knew the meaning of. … [Read more...]
Sew I Wanna Be A….

I have this habit. A somewhat expensive habit. A habit that annoys my husband but he puts up with it. I start hobbies and never finish them. Take for example the cake decorating classes. My ex-partner in crime and I signed up for classes through a local cake supply shop. Eight weeks, eight classes, eighty bucks. No problem. … [Read more...]

I am loving my new blog design! A HUGE thanks to Seven Thirty Three for the great blog redo! Thank you for being patient with me when I gave you my original idea then totally axed it when I found my inspiration for my current design. While I liked my previous blog design, I really needed something that represented who I am in small, subtle … [Read more...]
Weekend Wrap-Up
January 24, 2011 by 13 Comments
Wow, this has been an interesting week full of ups and downs. On the upside, we found out my husband only has to travel to his home office one week per month AND they will pay for travel expenses! Talk about a relief on the soul and the budget! For almost a year, I have been a single parent during the week. My husband has either traveled back to his home office or … [Read more...]
When Did We Start Allowing…
December 22, 2010 by 8 Comments
Let me start this post with declaring I AM A DOG LOVER. Truly, I am. Until last April when I had to put down my beloved Ivan, I had three dogs. Two of them rescues, one purebred (my husband's hunting hopes gone wrong). If I was independently wealthy and had acres of land, I would have my own canine rescue. So, no comments … [Read more...]
