I was reading another blog that a friend of mine introduced me to (although she doesn’t know it..Thanks Rocky) Knit and Tonic. When I first saw the name I thought, “Man, I have to read this just because of the name!”  And it did not disappoint.  The writer of Knit and Tonic is a knitting [...]

These are the words that came out of monster boy’s mouth the other day. I was in such awe that I didn’t know what to say.  He’s been doing this lately.  He asked me today, “Mommie, how to you lay it down?”  I replied, “Lay what down?” To which he replied, “Lay it down.” O.k. [...]

I spent the Thursday before Mother’s Day with Pinkilicious (more about that) in her karate class taking a “Bring Mom” class.  I had such a good time. I haven’t been to a karate/kickboxing class in 10 years. It is like riding a bike, you just don’t forget!  We goofed off probably more than we should [...]

I found this Etsy shop, Bela Brazilian Designs, when I was looking for 3 mother’s day gifts for my “moms”.  These are real flowers and they are gorgeous!  I couldn’t imagine the amount of work and time it goes into making one of these. Plus all the screw-ups that I would do just to make [...]

There are certain flashes or glimpses that I see in my mind’s eye.  Most of the memories though are from pictures.  My parents [...]

It’s been a while since I last posted. A little something called LIFE got in the way. Don’t you hate that when it happens?!My DD is an amazing little girl who is smart beyond her years.  She’s quick, lively, beautiful and full of compassion and love.  What mother doesn’t say that about her daughter no [...]

I have decided that my kids have rubber necks. The way they sleep in the car makes my neck hurt.  I have been trying to think of something for the car that would help them be more comfortable when they fall asleep.  I had a lot of designs. They had function but not cuteness. I [...]

If you have never seen a night launch, they are spectacular.  This is the view from my house. We are about 40 minutes from Canaveral. So our view is quite beautiful once the shuttle is over our trees. Last night launch there was a full moon. Before the shuttle was over the trees, you couldn’t [...]
