Unbelievably, my mom turned 60 on Saturday! I can’t wrap my brain around it because for some reason my mom lives perpetually at the age of 38 in my mind. So for my forever 38 mom’s birthday, we invited her over for scalloped potatoes, salad and her favorite dessert — carrot cake. I make carrot […]

February 27, 2013 By 40 Comments
Our little granddaughter is growing fast and she is such a wiggle worm that Gramma has a hard time getting clear photos of her! I guess I need more practice! Two weeks ago, she was starting to love sitting propped up on the couch. She likes to stare at the fan (what baby doesn’t find […]
48 Questions – All About Henrietta
February 20, 2013 By 28 Comments
I saw this list of questions over on Look What mom Found, while blog hopping today. It’s been a long long time since I’ve posted anything like this and since it’s snowing and I’m procrastinating about work, I thought I’d join in. Just know that as a Gemini, I almost always have more than one […]
Wordless Wednesday – I Can Do This #ww
February 19, 2013 By 38 Comments
My friend has coerced me into running with her on the treadmills at the school. They open at 6pm and we run for 40-45 minutes. I die. We freeze on the walk back to the car. Then I feel great. Oh exercise, how I have missed you! I need suggestions for my playlist! Upbeat songs […]

My daughter and her two friends competed in the annual school talent show last weekend. It was awesome! I have to say, these girls had only 3 practice sessions before performing and they were so much fun to watch! They took FIRST PLACE in the middle school age group! I wish I could share the […]

These snowy whiskers kill me! I just love watching Ginger dog and KiKi play together in the snow, they’re so cute! And seeing the snowflakes catch in their whiskers is even cuter! Oh, Ginger Dog! You are such a sweetheart! I can’t believe you’ll be 10 years old this year. Thanks for being my roly-poly […]

January 29, 2013 By 28 Comments
Is it possible that our little granddaughter is 2 1/2 months old already? She is cuter and cuter every time I see her! This past weekend I caught my son and his daughter playing so sweetly together. Baby A is starting to stay awake more and she’s always wide eyed and smiling. She was “talking” […]
So you want to be a review blogger? A few simple tips.
January 29, 2013 By 8 Comments
When people ask me what I do, I always hesitate. I am a blogger but up until recently, I never said to anyone out loud — “I am a professional blogger.” It just didn’t seem adequate to tell them that I work from home as a blogger. Sometimes, people give you the look and trying […]
Why I Love My Husband – 10 Reasons
January 14, 2013 By 16 Comments
My husband is driving me nuts. More so than I already am! Chris has been in construction for almost as long as we have been together, he’s owned his own small business for at least the last 10 years. This is the time of year things are slow — like slower than molasses. Which usually […]
