I love this picture that took of Littlest One just a little bit ago. He was on the move when I snapped it and I’m amazed it turned out as well as it did. Everything was blurry but his face. He’s such a sweet guy. He has no problem with me scooping him up while [...]

My husband and I saw Clint Eastwood’s Changeling last night. Angelina Jolie leads a great cast in a true story about the Wineville Chicken Coop murders. After seeing the movie I wanted to know more about the events and the movie. J. Michael Straczynski of Babylon 5 wrote the screenplay after researching the story of [...]

Today did not turn out the way I expected. My daughter and I were at her speech therapy and physical therapy appointments when I noticed that she felt hot. I mean she was on fire and it came out of nowhere. She was fine on the way to therapy. Of course I took her home [...]

We gave it a go with breathing treatments for a little more than a week, but Littlest One’s cough and stuffy, runny nose is still lingering, so today we went to see the doctor. The verdict? His lungs sound good but he’s got two ear infections. They’re bad enough to keep his chest and nasal [...]

Steve and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner last night. Our babysitter Nikki came over and watched the kids while we went to the Willow Tree restaurant in West Branch. There was a long wait at the restaurant so we sat at the bar and enjoyed a couple of drinks. I don’t think I’ve [...]

There are some amazing sales out there right now. Yesterday I finally used the eBags gift certificate my brother got me for Christmas. If you’re unfamiliar with eBags and love handbags, luggage, totes, wallets etc., you will love it. Anyway, I used my gift certificate yesterday and got something I just love and can’t wait [...]

And this goes especially for Mountain Dew.  It is total crap because it is chock full of sugar and acid that will literally eat away at your kids’ teeth. Take a look at the experiences of a mobile dentist from Kentucky who drives around Appalachia to help kids who suffer from Mountain Dew Mouth: It’s [...]

Well, it wasn’t really a hunt. I just had to drive a couple of blocks to Rite Aid and pick up some Valentine’s Day cards for Little Man’s kindergarten class tomorrow. While I was there I picked up one for my husband, too. I got a good one that is half way between funny and [...]

I turned on the Early Show this morning to make sure Little Man’s school wasn’t on a delay, saw this story and smiled. The Westminster Dog Show crowned Stump, a ten year old Sussex Spaniel who came out of retirement after a serious medical condition, its newest Best in Show. I just love stories like [...]
