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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]
