Confused? Taken aback? Surprised? Disappointed? Scared? Economic failure, and what will the next president do to help us?
I warn you reader, whoever you are, that I ramble… I do. But, not as much as at least one of the candidates…
A lot of things have changed in the last 8 years, and we are [...]

It is about 3:30 pm, and I just got dressed…if you can call changing from comfy pjs to comfy workout clothes “getting dressed.” I haven’t done much of anything today, and it’s been so relaxing. I did manage to get a few loads of laundry done, but mostly, I’ve just been hanging out.
There [...]

That’s right, 34 days until one of my favorite holidays! I absolutely love Halloween. And I am so looking forward to it this year. In Michigan, we had to be prepared for any kind of weather to include (just in the past 6 years) 75 degrees and dry, rain, snow, hail, or wind [...]

Well, this is an age old question I used to pose to many an adult in my youth, if only to see them squirm around telling me that it is their right not to publicize that information. What was a 7th grade, pimple faced class clown going to do with that information? I [...]

Anyway, I googled it. If you get a chance, please google “wholesale organic iron on transfers”. If you don’t [...]

First up, we have the most beautiful kids EVER!
Then there is the kids and Daddy testing out the ocean, with the lovely pier in the background.

On Friday, Brian’s mom and I went to the mall for a bit. Then we [...]

Let me start at the beginning. The Girl was not allowed to progress to this week’s math level because she did not finish her timed test last week. The teacher told me that she had 2 minutes to complete 25 math problems, and because she did not complete them all, she could not [...]

The best part about moving to a new state is that you get to live like a “resident tourist” for a while. And if you move to a tourism mecca such as Southern California, you get to live like that for a long time.

The Boy wanted to go with me this morning when I walked The Girl to school. Because he was so cute, I let him. The way to the school is pretty easy…it’s all downhill. Which, of course, means that the way home is all uphill. As we started climbing the hill, The Boy (who, [...]
