I’m going to log off now and climb in bed with my daughter. It has been a very hectic night and day. My daughter woke at 1 a.m. vomiting. My mother woke at about the same time, also sick. They both have the flu and the sick lasted well into the dry heaves. I have […]

Last weekend I went to Disney with a girlfriend and our daughters. It was a whole lot of fun, but relaxing is one adjective I would absolutely not use. I loved every minute of the trip. We hit three parks and even did character dining. There is just something about traveling with kids that is […]

My daughter just turned five last week. Five! I can hardly believe it. I have no idea how the time went so fast, but it could have something to do with the divorce, several moves and my being back in school. We have just been so busy that the little things have passed us by.
I […]

I don’t live in my house. After my divorce I was able to remain in the house for a little over a year while I went back to school to get certified to teach. My ex paid all the bills. Then, I had to move out so he could move in – which stands to […]

We went to the Pirate and Princess Party at Disney’s Magic Kingdom last Friday. I LOVE this event. Not only is it a blast for the little princess obsessed girls, it also is a wonderful night where the lines for the rides are close to non-existent. Yes, we even got right onto Space Mountain!
Anyway, we […]

I am a big fan of products made without too many chemicals and harsh ingredients. In fact, the first ingredient in the shampoo I use most often is rose water. I tried a new shampoo this week, though, and it is impressively natural.
Naked Naturals does not have harsh chemicals, like DEA, TEA, or lauryl sulfates. […]

Here is a story about two teens who live near me. Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams were escorted off of Southwest Airline’s flight 3600 from Tampa on February 14 after it landed in Los Angeles.
The girls claim it is because they were too pretty.
Huh?
Southwest says it is due to the fact that Williams used profanities […]

I asked my daughter if she knew a good joke about oysters. Here was her reply:
How did the oyster get across the road when the truck was coming?
He hopped on the Shrimp’s skateboard.
Give her a break. She only turned 5 last week. If you had heard her giggles after telling the joke, you would have […]

Somehow it seems pathetic that Starbucks closing down nationally for employee traingin should make news headlines. I was more than mildly irritated when Paris Hilton was garnering headlines right next actually important world events. This is enough to make me snap.
Need you cup of coffee tonight? Well, Starbucks nationwide are closing \from 5:30 p.m. to […]

There is nothing like getting married in Florida. First of all, it does not matter what time of year it is – you can get married outside. I was married on the beach, barefoot, with sailboats and jumping dolphins popping up to appear in the background of my wedding photos. We went ahead and reserved […]
