Pants That Tell a Story

Wouldn’t you agree, readers, that if your clothes could talk they would have some fabulous stories to tell? Think about the miles your shoes have walked or the dates your favorite blouse has been on in the past. How about your favorite, well-worn pair of jeans or khakis? Don’t; you imagine they could fill you […]

From Webkinz to Backyard Safety

My daughter loves Webkinz. She has a lil Unicorn and a Pink Poodle and a Yorkie (although I think it is a Maltese). I set up an account for myself and bought the lil Pink Poodle. That way I can send my daughter mail and gifts. It gives her some safe interaction on the site.
Since […]

No, Everyone Else Does NOT Like Your Dress

Back when I was in high school, I went to the “banquet” at my boyfriend’s high school. He went to a Baptist school, so they did not have a prom, just that banquet. He failed to tell me about the dress code, and although my dress was perfectly modest, it was also the lowest cut […]

Teens And Nude Photos

My daughter is only 5, but I am seriously considering keeping the kid inside the house and away from the television and internet until she is in college. There are just some things about being a teenager in today’s society that I cannot wrap my head around, no matter how hard I try.
When I was […]

What I Will Leave My Daughter

When I was married, my husband and I both had great life insurance policies through his job. He still has his. In fact, he has had to increase it to follow up on court guidelines that insist he carries enough to ensure that if something happens to him, I will still get the money in […]

Yay for Spring Break

Even though my daughter is only in pre-K, her Spring Break has come as a wonderful breath of fresh air after months of routine. She is just as excited about being home from school for a week as an older child would be. And, I am excited as well.
Today we went to the beach with […]

In Vitro Identical Triplets

Wow.
The odds were wildly huge. Not only did Allison Penn finally achieve a pregnancy after years of infertility, she did it with in vitro and only one embryo. I just had a friend go through that very expensive process with three embryos and not become pregnant. It’s never a sure thing. The fact that Penn’s […]

Baby Memories

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 […]

Lucky Moment at Pirate and Princess Party

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 […]

Gigi: God’s Little Princess

My daughter loves the Gigi books by Sheila Walsh. We have several of the books, a Bible, and one movie. Of course, new titles are coming out all of the time. I was browsing through the flyer for Family Bookstore just now and saw that you can get a Gigi plush doll for just $5 […]
