This is probably going to be one of my favorite posts because it revolves around one of my favorite things to do, blogging. Ever since I was a little girl, I have known that I was a writer. Nobody ever tells you to be a writer or gives you permission to be one, [...]

Recently, I was watching a futuristic movie with my husband and it really got me to thinking about what I would want people from the future to know about the times that we live in now. What better way to give them an idea of how we lived than to fill a time capsule with [...]

Today was my baby boy’s first day of Pre-Kindergarten. He looked so big and handsome in his new school uniform and I felt like the proud Mommy as his father and I escorted him to class for orientation. I have to admit, I was a little afraid that he was going to cling to [...]

Why do little boys always have to be so rough when they play? I hope some of you have the answer to this question because I am completely baffled by it. It has certainly been a learning experience being the mother of two little boys and the aunt of 5 more. Yes, you [...]
