April 18th- Birthday and Cancer

  Birthday and cancer may seem like an odd title, but April 18th, would have been my mom’s 63rd birthday.  She passed away 2 years ago, and I can’t help but think about her today. Losing a parent never really goes away.  There are always reminders, birthdays, holidays, and family events that te...

Good-Bye Whitney Houston

I grew up listening to Whitney Houston. It was sad, and sadly, not a huge shock, to hear of her untimely death yesterday.  She had such a powerful and astounding voice, never duplicated. I think one of the tragic things is someone so talented, probably didn’t have to die. Unfortunately, these ...

In Memory of Susan Niebur

I found out yesterday that a mother I know of two young boys, who was fighting a very aggressive form of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer, had passed away. It shouldn’t have been such a shock- Dr. Susan Niebur has been writing about her battle with cancer for years, on her blog, Toddl...

Thoughts On Tim Tebow

I like football.  I grew up with my dad and my brother watching it.  I lived in New Mexico until I was eight, and my dad and brother always watched Denver Bronco games-  they were our adopted home team. When my parents moved to Colorado in the 80’s naturally the Broncos became our family’s team.  [....

‘Twas The Night of Christmas Decorating For A Working Mom

I came up with this tonight, while I was cleaning up from Christmas decorating.  It was a lot of work, after a long day.  Good thing the end results are worth it.  It’s officially Christmas now at our house! The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, every ornament was hung, from here t...

“Mom, Is Santa Real?”

I was making dinner tonight when Ryan, who will be 8 next month, walked into the kitchen and asked flat out, “Mom, is Santa real?” I froze.  I had no warning or idea this was going to be a question that needed to be answered for a few years at least, let alone right now.  [...]

Penn State Scandal- Winning, At What Cost?

I don’t follow college football At. All.  I know nothing about who is in the top ten, nationally ranked, who has the best football program, the NCAA rules- any of that.  But I do know, what has and continues to unfold on Penn State’s football program is disturbing, sickening, and heartbr...

Bounce Dryer Bar- Review & Giveaway! (In some browsers, my review & giveway information is at the bottom of the page. Please continue to scroll down to the post. Thank you!)

Time. Not very many people have a lot of extra time on their hands these days. As a single, working mom of two active boys, it seems as my kids get older, I have less and less time. There is always something to do, or things to take care of. If not for [...]

“Sexy” Halloween Costumes (Wonder Woman Doesn’t Wear Garters)

A few weeks ago, I started looking at websites and Googling ideas for Halloween costumes for a party.  I’m not sure when it happened, but every single costume I clicked on is a “sexy” version of what I was thinking of.  It doesn’t matter what the costume: vampire, pirate, angel, Wonder Woman, Ragged...

Angry Birds vs. Imagination

Angry Birds- it’s the latest (addictive craze).  I admit it- I love Angry Birds. When I finished the regular levels, I moved on to Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio. At times, Ryan and Cole would see me playing and ask what I was doing.  I showed them the game, and it and wasn’t [...]
