I've been fascinated recently with the little things that Will notices. We left school the other day and my little black filthy Subaru was parked in front on equally filthy little black Subaru. I said, "Will try and guess which one is ours?" He laughed and said, 'that's so easy Mom. Ours has shiny … [Read more...]
My Own WILD!
Have you read the book Wild yet? It's by Cheryl Strayed who lost her mother, ruined her marriage and lost her way in life...and then decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail alone. Did I mention she wasn't a hiker? Had never done any trekking before? She didn't break her boots in before she … [Read more...]

If you're looking for a destination for you and your family this year, let me share with you my experience in December at the Palladium Resort in the Mayan Rivera region of Mexico.

The Non Birthday Birthday Post
Today is my sister's birthday. It's one of those milestone ones that make the person forget they're actually only just a day older than they were yesterday. When my sister Sherrill turned 50 last year, I made her a video. Suzanne emailed me and said 'it's incredible but do something like that for … [Read more...]
Kids and Their Money!
Will got $105 for Christmas. He got a $100 bill from his great-grandfather, which he saw before I could snag it away. He also got a $5 bill from my sister. He earned that one for putting on a Christmas 'performance'. He charged her, ran up the stairs and put it in his piggy bank, all before we … [Read more...]
You’re Not Gonna Hear Me Roar!
It's been about a week. A little over a week. Yup, I'd say that's right. I had an Oprah AHA moment. Over the last few weeks, Will has had some sporadic tantrums. Tantrum almost can't capture what it is that he's doing. His teacher thought that he was going to go into convulsions. His little head … [Read more...]

Then when I found out I was having a boy (YES!) there were many, many things that concerned me. a. Who would … [Read more...]
Hell Froze Over! I’m Taking YOGA!
I have a love/hate relationship with yoga. What I love is the hilarious memory I have of taking a class with my mother, and of us getting kicked out for the inability to hold in our laughter as the inevitable farting kicked in. (We took two classes and decided that we'd rather just watch TV). I … [Read more...]
Sweet Sweet Routine
Oh January 6th. I've longed for you for a couple weeks now. You see the joy of seeing Will write his Christmas Eve letter to Santa is long faded. The amazed look on his face as he opened even MORE Scooby Doo chapter books that he didn't even ask for has regressed into my memory. It's glazed over … [Read more...]
Resolution FAIL!
I had to. I HAD TO! I had to go back and look at my post from last year on resolutions and see how I did. Well... what did Meatloaf say? One out of five ain't bad? Ah close enough. So. I did read way more this year than last. But I also found Netflix in the last two months. So I should alter it … [Read more...]
