No words can adequately express the love I have for my Mom. She encompasses all that I am. All that I strive to be. She IS love. Pure and simple. I am proud to call her Mom. And fortunate to have the close relationship we have... although we are seperated by miles, now, she is still my best friend!. [More]

It has been a killer month, and May has just started. Between work, Cody's play at our local children's theater, and all the end of the school year things going on, I feel spread too thin. Exhausted. Overwhelmed. You get the picture..... [More]

Today is a special day! It's the day I celebrate the most special woman in my life. My Mom. Today is her birthday, and we are seperated by several hundred miles... but she is close to me in memory. In my heart. I admire you Mom, for your strength and selfless heart. You are my hero. I hope that you have a very special day, today. Because if anyone I know deserves to, it's YOU!. [More]

I have been reading on-line with my clear internet service and getting pumped already about the Olympic games in London this year! I think that the Summer Olympics is definitely one of my favorite things to follow and watch on television. I followed them like a hawk in Beijing in 2008.. [More]

No matter how bad the economy, people will shell out the money to look younger. It seems more and more people (both women and men) are looking for the fountain of youth. Yes, they've been doing this for ages and ages. It just seems that it's more prevalent then ever.. [More]

Four years ago today, I wrote my first blog post on Blog by Donna. I remember how excited I was to start blogging. I had no idea what I was doing. I was clueless. It didn't stop me. I was writing. I was sharing tips, ideas, and my opinions for others to read. Except no one was reading. But to paraphrase a quote from "Field of Dreams", "If you build it, they will come".... [More]

I just discovered this Monday meme and thought it would be fun to participate in. So, I'm going to describe myself in three words -- 3 words that describe me for today. Because tomorrow, they could be three different words. :). [More]

I'm thankful this week that Cody has Spring break. It was much needed. He has worked hard at school and I think we all needed a break. And I love having him home. I am thankful for warm weather while he is on Spring break. It's been in the upper 70s, low 80s, and the rest of the week it's suppose to be in the mid 70s. We couldn't have asked for nicer weather..... [More]

This is a guest post written by Karen Livingston - My daughter most of the time would never want to dress up for herself. But I finally convinced her to actually go to her senior year prom. She's never been to it any other years and I think that she saw my view on why she should go. Plus, a lot of her friends are going too and they're all going to go as a big group.. [More]

My li'l guy has been sick for the past few days. It's more sinus/allergy related, but he has a very weak stomach, so the phlegm, and constant drainage, makes him sick and he throws up. Then he is afraid to eat, because he'll throw up, so he becomes weaker. The constant coughing (li... [More]

I can not get this song out of my head. Nope. It just keeps going over and over in my head. Not to mention I keep singing it... driving my hubby and son crazy. I couldn't remember what the video was like for Catch Me (I'm Falling) by Pretty Poison, so if you'd like to go down the 80s m... [More]

  I loved this writing prompt from Mama Kat's -- Close your eyes, open a dictionary, and point to a word. Does your word mean anything special to you? Well, I must say... Yes! The word I pointed to was "hibernate". Image Source Accordi... [More]

Guest Post written by our friend Mason Abbott I have a great husband, and I try to recognize that every day. When you’ve been together for as long as we have, it’s easy to lose sight of things. We have been married for 20 years now, and sometimes I’m surprised we&rsq... [More]

This morning my husband took Cody out to play some tennis and play at the park after he had a sleepover with a friend last night. While there, my hubby took this picture. I think he was trying to hide because he didn't want to leave.
