A little over a year ago, I wrote a post called “Tuesday Tribute. Dad.” In that post I introduced you to my father, who died of cancer when I was just 2 1/2 years old. As horrible as the disease is, I have been able to find the “silver lining” of cancer. Although cancer took…
I’m Out!
I am hopping around today, guest posting over at Angie’s Seven Clown Circus. Go say hi and see a fun picture of my kids when they were little. Now on to my Best Shot. My true favorite picture of the week is the last picture in my Bloggography post. But here are a few of…
Riding a Two-Wheeler
Have you ever kept a child home from school because they had a fever at night…but during the day, the child was running around just fine? That was Reese all last week. Her Spring Break extended through another full week because she was so sick (NOT!). She was so sick that by the end of…
Happiness Is…
“Our consumers understand a basic truth – that the happiest moments in our lives are truly the simple ones. And science has proven that happiness is contagious,” explains Gannon Jones, vice president, portfolio marketing, Frito-Lay North America. “This insight inspired us to create the ‘Happiness Exhibit’ as a way to spotlight the moments of simple happiness…
Birthday Girl
The good news is that I didn’t forget Reese’s birthday. I just forgot to post any of the pictures. I know you guys don’t care if or when I post things about my kids, but I would hate to be reading back a few years from now and discover that I completely neglected to record…
How to Choose the Best Lenses for Your DSLR
Manic Mother and I get asked quite frequently what lenses we use, or what are the best lenses to buy, so we thought we would do a post on what we have learned so far about DSLR lenses. And believe me, we’ve spent lots of time drooling over researching the best DSLR lenses! This post…
Cafe Rio Creamy Tomatillo Dressing
This is my newest addiction. It is amazing on a salad, with chicken, quesadillas, fresh veggies, and burgers. Yes, I have tried it on just about everything. A couple of friends of mine introduced me to this amazing recipe last month (a copycat version of Cafe Rio’s incredible dressing!), and then I happened to promise…
I Heart Cheesecake
Last night, as I was cutting a slice of cheesecake for dessert, Reese asked me “Mom, what is CHEESEcake made out of, anyway? There’s not really CHEESE in it, is there?” My poor daughter has never had the courage to try a slice of cheesecake. I suppose that’s fine with me. If all 5 of…
Facebook Guide for Parents
Facebook is Your Child’s Online Playground…Are You Watching? Sex, Drugs… Now Facebook? Yes, it’s true. Now there is ONE MORE thing we, as parents, have to have “the talk” about. Technology has brought many wonderful things into our lives. We have monitors that let us watch our babies while they sleep. We can TIVO our…
Batman and the UPS Man: Heros
The other day, an enormous package came in the mail while the big kids were in school. How often do kids get surprises like this from the UPS man (who, by the way, happens to be AJ’s hero)? Not very often. (Just for fun, I found this old post, from October 2008. AJ is dressed…
