August 16, 2012

My dad forwarded me an email the other day and I loved it.  SO SO TRUE!  I figured it was good enough to share here. Bill Gates gave a speech at a high school about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school.  He addresses how feel-good, politically correct teachings have created [...]

February 13, 2012

The other night I was humming in the shower when I had the thought that I’ve had a gazillion times… I REALLY wish I could sing. Like… for real sing. As it is, I fall in the “make a joyful noise” category of singers, but I sure wish I could belt it.  The kind of [...]

September 13, 2011

Friends…amidst endless piles of laundry yesterday I found myself at a real crossroads. I have been saving for a few months now to re-do my laundry room.  It’s a great space that needs some reworking, but has great potential for wall to ceiling storage that would make a huge difference in the way my kitchen [...]

A Crucial Tooth…

September 8, 2011

Yesterday my baby (19 months) was running down the driveway and took a spill.  He started crying pretty hard…the kind where there’s a pause before the scream so you know it really hurt.  And then when I picked him up, his poor sweet mouth was gushing blood….gushing.

My house is a wreck today. No…seriously. Look at just my laundry room…. It looks SO bad! I’m under no illusions. It’s a wreck! And yes… on the far wall, that would be some paint that I put up a couple of years ago to see how I felt about painting the laundry room that [...]

Get a load of this guy. That would be my KINDERGARTNER! Say Wha???? Yes, I now am the proud parent of a very excited kindergartner.  And I can hardly deal with it. Seriously. Today when I dropped him off, I walked him in to make sure he knows where to go and all, and I [...]
