Towards the end of the day yesterday, I began hearing from the Health Department. They sent out an inspector around 4:30. He checked out the neighbor’s house, took pictures, and slapped these lovely signs on their front door. It’s really depressing to be living next door to this, but I am thrilled to see those…

I Heart Faces–Birthday & Pets!
I need a break from the stress and the hours of phone calls I’ve been making to settle this problem with our house (feel free to check out my last 3 posts to find out what’s been going on…) What better way to escape than by looking through photos of happy times?! This week’s I…
Bringing in the Media
So far, I’ve had zero response from the government agencies that were supposed to take black mold so seriously. Nothing. I called the Dept. of Health’s 24 hour crisis line this morning, told the operator my story and her response was: “So what do you want us to do?” That made my blood boil. It…
I Need to Think Fishfully Now….
In case any of you don’t know already, I am an Ambassador for the Pepperidge Farms Fishful Thinking campaign. I have loved sharing the message of optimism, resilience, goal setting, emotional awareness, and empowerment–the key ingredients of Fishful Thinking. But I feel like my paticipation in this program was all for my benefit and not…
Somebody Must Think I Have Broad Shoulders
On Friday I was doing laundry, as I often do during the day. I stepped on the pile of dirty laundry on the floor and found that the clothes were soaking wet. Great!–I thought. The washing machine has a leak. I cleared up the entire area around the washer and dryer, used a bunch of…

Give Me Your Best Shot #16
In looking through my photos from this week, I discovered that I had more than my usual number of candids of people outside my family. Kind of fun for me! That’s one thing I love about having a big ‘ol zoom. I can sit in one spot and inconspicuously snap pictures of people in their…
Fix-It Friday–Little Precious
This week’s Fix-It picture from I Heart Faces is a great photo to start out with, in my opinion. The biggest problem for me was that it had a lot of noise. So in addition to brightening and boosting, I tried to reduce the noise. Here’s the original: I kept things simple (for me) and…
AJ’s Party
Could I really have let a week go by without sharing pictures from AJ’s birthday party? Impossible. Have I really been that busy? AJ’s party was perfect for me. We packed the food and the presents and the kids (and the bubbles. Don’t forget the bubbles) across the street to the park. The kids played…
