One of Steve’s Christmas gifts to me was a weekend away to Niagara Falls. We left home yesterday afternoon when my parents arrived at our house to watch the kids and arrived at our hotel around 6:20pm. We’re staying on the Canadian side because there are more activities, casinos, bars, etc. on this side. But [...]

I watched an interesting interview on Fox News. Patty Ann Brown spoke with Dr. David Colbert who wrote the book The High School Reunion Diet.  He said we can look 20 years younger in one month by eating more natural foods. To begin, he said to avoid high fructose corn syrup sugars (Which I already [...]

It’s good to have neighbors, isn’t it? Today my neighbor across the street, Jean, did me a big favor. I was in Ann Arbor for my daughter’s physical therapy. Afterward I had enough time before Little Man got home from school that I could take a few minutes to run to Borders. Well, I spent [...]

Don’t you just love it when you have a day when things just seem to go well? Today was one of those days for me. Oh, there were hiccups. Littlest One still pulled Little Miss Throwsafit’s hair. A lot. He also had a crying fit. But on the whole, today was a good day and [...]

Just about an hour ago, I walked into the living room, saw my daughter sitting on the couch watching Noggin and I thought, “oh my gosh, she’s got to get to bed.” Then I looked at the clock on the stove. It was 7:39pm.  It wasn’t even 8:00pm but to me it felt like 10pm.

There has been a lot of activity going on around our house lately. Actually, most of the activity has been going on elsewhere.  My husband and I decided to live downstate during the school year and Up North in the summer while our livery is open.  I don’t have to tell you that the economy [...]

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 [...]

Today is my birthday and as you can tell by my title here, I am 42 years old. I am still amazed at how fast forty two years have gone by. Nonetheless, it’s been a good forty two years and I have a lot to be thankful for.
I have had a quiet day today. I [...]

In case some of you didn’t know, I do most of my blogging about conservative politics. I write primarily at Wizbang as well as my personal political site Politics @ Up North Mommy. I also write columns and articles for several news organizations including the Washington Examiner and Pajamas Media.
A few weeks ago one of [...]

Trout season began this past Saturday. Unfortunately it was a pretty rainy day but our fly shop did decent business. This weekend should be much better for us even though it will only be in the 50’s. At least it is supposed to be sunny. That could change, though.
While checking the weather for my area [...]
