It’s a new month (how in the world is it already May?!) and it’s time for a new Fishful Thinking focus for the month. This month’s focus is Empowerment. Empowerment, or self-efficacy, is believing in oneself. It is knowing what your strengths are and how to use your strengths to navigate challenges and reach your…
Flowers and Flames – Give Me Your Best Shot PSF
If I could rip my new iTouch away from my husband and kids, I would have taken a picture of it today. But since it is currently occupied, I will share with you some alternate pictures from my week. On Monday, we spent the evening with some friends who will be moving soon. We are…
Ten Things I Have Learned to Unlearn
One of my favorite things about Thursdays is that I get to play along with Mama Kat’s Writing Prompts, because she always gets me thinking about things that I probably wouldn’t have thought about otherwise. Take this prompt for instance: “List 10 rules you’ve unlearned (meaning 10 things you thought were expected of you or…
We Give Books
Yesterday, I had the fabulous opportunity to attend a Press Event at the National Press Club introducing We Give Books. I am so pumped about this program that I can’t wait to share it with everyone (including the person in front of me in line at the grocery store….Hey, why not?!). Safire and I traveled…
No-Fail Mother’s Day
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Bliss Living. All opinions are 100% mine. Mother’s Day is coming up soon, and I am determined NOT to have a repeat of Mother’s Day 2008. Care to hear about it? It was pretty bad. I woke up on Mother’s Day morning and went…
Pirate and Professor Turn Two

Pirate, Professor, and Mommy Safire THEN (April 2008) Pirate, Professor, and Mommy Safire NOW (April 2010) Happy day. I love these…
Making Hope Happen
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…
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…
