An Inspiring Thought

This is a post for every single woman out there.  Whether you are single, married, mother, daughter, anything.  Women more often than not, tend to doubt themselves more than men.  Or maybe we are just more vocal about it.  We blame ourselves for things that have nothing to do with us, or for something that [...]

A dose of laughs and fun

I am slow in the blog world, as I have just discovered the joys of reading and writing blogs in the last few months.  But I happened upon this blog by accident (yes links to links to links haha), and thought I would share.
 ScrapHappy is a blog that will make you snicker, or laugh out loud.  [...]

Gotta Love Taxes!

No, I do not mean the ones we pay…but rather the ones we get back in the spring.  Because of them, I am able to go tomorrow morning and put four new tires on my car and get the front end alignment I have been putting off for two years.  The $60 front end alignment [...]

More Salem Pics…

Ok, forgive my indulgence, but I took 170+ photos yesterday .  I will not force you to look at all of them, but these are the ones I want to share.
  The whole crew..Tab, Brad and their kids.  Me and our kids (yep that’s me in the middle).  I actually handed the camera over [...]

A Nice Spring Day in Salem

Yep, Salem Massachusettes!  Hubby actually got me to drive in MA.  I am not a traffic person!  My knuckles turn white and the stress sets in…massive headaches.  But we did it because it was for family.  One year ago on March 22nd, hubby’s mom passed away.  So his dad asked us to go down and [...]

What NOT to do when you are tired…

Ok, so a little background: our really adorable chow/black lab dog Dopey has a horrible psoriasis condition.  So he gets Benadryl at night so that he doesn’t wake us up all night chewing.
Well being as tired as I was last night, I had the right idea by bringing his pills into the bedroom so that [...]

Sweet Success!

It is done!  The room for stepdaughter is done!  Well, I still have to rehang the curtains I washed today, and need to make the bed, but the room is clean, re-arranged, and the carpet cleaned.  I am EXHAUSTED!!!  I still have to do dishes (I started but haven’t finished), and do more laundry.  Boy [...]

The pretty?

Ok, so while sitting here drinking coffee, and waiting to take the boys to school I got thinking about the things we scrapbook about.  99.99% of the time they are happy things right?  How many of you have bad pictures in your layouts?  Or tell the story of a sad or hard time in your [...]

Kids and YOU-niqueness

I was reading a great post on Stacy Julian’s blog about her son, and his struggles with ADHD.  How being different isn’t always easy in this world, but is SO completely necessary.
She had this great video clip…I am swiping it to share with you here because I think you need to see it.  Remember that [...]
