We all may have gone a bit overboard this Valentine’s Day. I admit I started it. I got up extra early and made the kids a big Valentine’s Day breakfast (I felt a little guilty because I was going out to breakfast with my mom and sister AND I had to work today.) First off, [...]

Today is the last day of school before Mid-Winter break. Which means Valentine’s Day parties. Remember as a kid, getting to pick out the boxes of Valentine’s to give to your classmates. And how it was SO important to get the “cool” ones – which back in my day involved Strawberry Shortcake and Carebears. Nowadays [...]

What did you do in 2009 that you’ve never done before? Skydiving! There were probably other things too, but that’s the first one that comes [...]

It took about a half hour. Thank heavens for digital cameras!! I can take a thousand pictures and instantly know if it turned out or didn’t. How did our parents ever get a decent picture??? I figured it was best to get the sillies out right away! I would like to point out right here [...]

Today was a rare and blessed day off work. I spent the first part SLEEPING IN! Oh yeah. It was awesome! I didn’t get up until 7:45 a.m. – I KNOW, right? Totally like a teenager, all that was missing was a mega can of Aquanet and a trip to the mall! Oh sorry, just [...]
