THE ATTIC DISCOVERY: Spring cleaning recently led me to the back corner of my attic. A place I haven’t visited in the four years since we moved into our house. Besides cobwebs, I discovered several boxes with my name written on them. Forgotten boxes. I remembered them once I saw them. I have dragged these…

Wordless Wednesday / Gorilla Love
Today is #WordlessWednesday. A quick explanation ~ “On Wednesdays all over the internet, bloggers post a photograph with no words to explain it on their blog. Hence the ‘wordless’ title. The idea is that the photo itself says so much that it does not need any description.” A lovely group of fellow mom bloggers and…
Are You Really Wearing That T-Shirt In Public?
While waiting in line at Dunkin’ Donuts, my daughter pointed to the man in front of us. In a louder-than-needed voice which all kids love to use, when they should be whispering, she said… “Mommy, Got Ticks? Why would anyone ask that? Who’s got ticks? Do I have ticks? Do you have ticks?” The man…
“Girls Are So Confusing”
Kids say the funniest things. I feel like I repeat that daily. But it’s true! My latest “kids funny” happened when I was at my kids’ school to volunteer in the school library. On my way to the library, I passed my daughter’s 3rd-grade classroom, and a friend of hers was sitting in the hallway…

“OMG, That’s Like So Last Year!”
MOMENTS THAT MAKE ME LAUGH My kids and I were driving to visit family this weekend when I saw a sign that said “Giant Tag Sale Today”. I love a good tag sale. Whatever you call it… garage sale, yard sale, lawn sale, estate sale (I know, those are slightly creepy), rummage sale, moving sale,…
Recovering From A Day Of Daddy Being In Charge
The day after Mother’s Day is sort of like New Year’s Day in my house. It’s a day to recover. Why? Daddy was in charge for the day. All in all, I had a fabulous Mother’s Day. I am extremely grateful I was able to sleep in, and thanks to this “Do Not Disturb” sign, no…
Top 5 Ways To Help Mom Celebrate Mother’s Day
1). Let Her Sleep. 2). Let Her Sleep. 3). Let Her Sleep. 4). Let Her Sleep More. 5). Give Her Wine. Just kidding! Well, half kidding. Every mom I know, myself included, can use more sleep. The moment I gave birth, my quantity and quality of sleep went right out the window, (along with…
