My camera and my laptop have decided not to speak to each other at the moment. As a result, I can’t share a couple of Halloween projects I am currently working on. So I decided to share a charity event that HH and I attended recently. My BFF is the National Spokesperson for the […]
Words of wisdom for mothers of boys…
A few months ago my friend Sara over at Mom Endeavors had a brand new, beautiful baby boy… He joined his two big brothers over at the Mom Endeavors family. Knowing that I had a bit of experience with boys, Sara asked me to write up a little something about them. I shared this over […]
Labor Day weekend wrap up. The Norco Fair

Dude… not cool: When your child sees others bullying.
Bullies are nothing new. Because some high profile (and tragic) examples of bullying have been in the news recently, most schools have anti-bullying policies now.

Scene: The dining room. My good friend Dave is visiting. He is Grant’s Godfather and in that role, he is subjected to endless stories, games and all around squirrely-ness.

I’m going to start letting Grant pick out my shoes.
This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links. Scene: I am working on the computer. Grant is in the next room watching TV. I cannot see him or the TV, but I can hear everything. I hear the word Shoedazzle, whatever that is. I assume that it’s like the Bedazzler, but specifically for shoes. […]
I must brag a bit. I must.
OK, I am proud of all of my boys, but can I just take a moment to brag on Conner? Most of you know that Devin and Conner went through an emotionally exhausting experience in March. For three weeks, they basically lived in the hospital at their father’s bedside during the final days of his […]
