I have a friend in Ireland, that I met through the blog.  And even though an ocean separates us, our lives as wives and mothers are very similiar.
Similiar, except for the fact that she is a talented digiscrapper with her own design business, and I am not.
For no reason at all, other than to be […]

I sat down this evening to write a post about K’s grandparents.  They just celebrated 66 years of marriage.  I wish I had something eloquent to say about their years together, the family they’ve built, and the example they’ve set.  But try as I might tonight, the thoughts I am feeling in my heart are not expressing […]

You know how sometimes you go on a trip with the family, and the stars just align? Everything that could go right, does?

This was one of those times.

And I know the difference, because I have had a vacation that has gone the other way. The kind where everyone is fighting, the lines are long, the […]

I am seeing the girls tonight, and I can’t wait. Most every 2nd Friday of the month…I’m ready! We try to get together once a month to hang out, drink wine, and laugh untill it hurts. We talk about the kids and the husbands and work and Oprah and much more pressing matters like McSteamy […]

The long weekend is over. And it was such a good one, I hate to see it go.But all good things must end and that is what makes them so sweet. Thank you Lord, for these good times with my family.
We headed up to my in-laws summer home on Friday evening with all of the […]
