My Kid Is Online

She’s my oldest but she’s still my baby. I choke every time I refer to her as a tween, gulp, on the verge of teen-hood. I can’t keep her from growing up much longer and I don’t want to force her to give up her youth too soon but the fact is that she’s already in middle school, her body … Continue reading

A Place To Call Home

A place to call home. It’s nothing like what I imagined it would be. Once upon a time my dream house was all laid out on paper with professional designs and all the bells and whistles you could dream of.

Our Valentines Story

When we started dating, I told him that I was not at all into Valentines day, this is our Valentines story.     I don’t need a day with over priced roses and chocolates and a dinner out with all the other couples who want to declare their love at a noisy, crowded restaurant. I never did. I want romance … Continue reading
