Littlest One’s fever is completely gone. Actually, it left as quickly as it came on, leaving us a bit baffled as to why it arrived in the first place. It was a mystery until I checked out his mouth yesterday evening. He’s finally getting in two teeth that should have arrived months ago. Many people [...]

I can’t imagine a better way to begin a marriage
This young couple got married with such joyful abandon that they and their wedding party danced down the aisle. I have to say I got choked up watching it because I could feel their happiness through the computer. Be honest: for those who are married, weren’t you so excited on your wedding day that you [...]
The chilliest summer I can remember
This has got to be the chilliest summer I can remember in quite some time. Right now, it’s about 65 and rainy. I don’t want to complain too much because we need the rain badly because, sadly, our grass is brown and crunchy. But this chilly summer weather combined with the economy in Michigan is [...]
He’s got a fever and the only prescription is mommy
Littlest One has another fever, the second one in three weeks. He doesn’t have any symptoms: no runny nose, no diarrhea, no coughing, no nothing. I’ve got him on ibuprofen and he’s acting pretty normally, except that he looks a little tired and periodically he wants to be held and loved on. No matter how [...]
Par-tee
Every July my mom’s side of the family gets together and has a little party that we call the Par-Tee. The men go to play golf (hence the play on words). The women sans kids go to the Ann Arbor art festival while the women with kids go to the Toledo Zoo. Afterward we all meet [...]
Wanted: advice on calming bedtime fears
I’ve got an issue with my 4 year old daughter that I need help with. The past few weeks she has been terrified of being alone in her bed at night. She is the only child who has had this problem, so I don’t have any previous experience dealing with it. Her fear has gotten [...]
My son is going to give me a heart attack
Three times this week alone I have walked into my dining room and found Littlest One, my 19 month old son, sitting on top of dining room table playing with whatever was on top. All three times I swear my heart stopped for a nano second. Keep in mind, Littlest One is the only of [...]
Kindle update
It’s been 10 days since I got my Kindle for my birthday, and I have to say I absolutely love it. After I had it for a few days, I decided to order a cover so I could take it with me and not worry about it getting all scratched up. After taking a look [...]
Have you ever felt as if you’ve got nothing to say?
I’ve been gone a while. Sorry about that. I’ve reached a point that I feel as if I have nothing interesting to say. I can’t tell you why. When I think about how long it’s been since I’ve written a post, I want to get online and write, but I just haven’t had the energy. [...]
Happy July 4th
I hope you’re all having a great Fourth of July. Please remember our members of the military who are missing their families serving so far away from home today. We had several members of the military come into our livery today and we gave them a discount as we always do. Whatever you’re doing with [...]
