We all know them. That family who is all things, to all people. The helpers. The doers. The huggers. The warm and fuzzy people. The one’s who would give the shirts off their very own backs. They are the first to offer to carpool. The one’s who host the best sleepovers and pool parties. The keepers of the rowdy kids… View Post

Yesterday I cleaned the house. Dragged out the rest of the holiday decorations. Had my hair done. Chatted with a girlfriend. Went to a volleyball game. Bought some groceries. Helped with homework. Squeezed in a date with the Hubby. Did a little work. Played with the dog. Um, pretty much anything I could to avoid…..Christmas shopping! It’s not that I… View Post

Even the bed didn’t get made. But…. Was I frustrated? Annoyed? Upset? Was this day a total loss?? No. I did see my girl play volleyball. Managed… View Post
The holidays are coming, the holidays are coming! Do you know what this means? The people are coming! YIKES!! Must clean the house, buy the presents, wrap the presents, buy the groceries, do the cooking, find some time for family, parties and friends. Good grief, the list goes on and on and on. From parties to host, decorating to do,… View Post
Dodged a bullet….errr an alligator and lived to tell the tale! I’ve recently retuned form a whirlwind tour of Kissimmee Florida where I ate my way around the world (literally) at the World Food Championships and squeezed in as much adventure as humanely possible in four sunshiney days. A spent a day meandering though the glorious Epcot in the enchanting… View Post
The Holiday season is a lot of things. It’s twinkling lights, and late night cocktail parties. Trimming the trees and shopping sprees. Running dozens of errands and eating too many cookies. Christmas concerts, turkey dinners, and endless to-do lists. In the middle of the madness, do you remember to take care of you? I for one am quite guilty of… View Post
