Presence
It’s a simple word, a word that I never gave much thought. When I was in elementary school, the teacher would call my name and I would say, “present.” Meaning, I’m right here. When I got older it was just a given that if I was somewhere then I was present. Later I […]
The 7-Day Experiment
Let me start by saying that this experiment was not on my agenda. It was involuntary and in the beginning, I even compared it to not having any heat in the house during winter. However, much to my surprise, in the end the outcome was more than I expected.
It started on a morning a week […]I Have A Dream…
That more than twenty people will comment on this and all my blogs.
That I have a personal landscaper to take away all of my wrong decisions and the bug bites I obtain when making them.
That I am Samantha on Bewitched and can wiggle my nose and turn things around instantaneously.
That flies talk to each […]That’s What I Call Love
Love takes shape in many forms: in the form of words, gifts, looks, and actions. I personally prefer the form of action. Even though it is not my husband’s preferred method, sometimes he gets it right. I’ll explain, in a short-long kind of way…
Everyone has one or two things that just freak them out. I […]Miniature Masseurs
I come from a back-rub loving family. When I was young I remember my mom constantly hounding me or one of my four other siblings to rub her back. Sometimes we’d happily oblige. Other times we’d pretend we didn’t hear her and hope she’d move on to someone else. And even other times, we’d work […]
What’s In A Name?
Everything. I believe the name that you give your child means everything. And whether you consciously realize it or not, the name you give them is almost always the name they were supposed to have. Haven’t you ever noticed how most kids look like the name they were given? It doesn’t matter if you like […]
A Little Bit of Peace
One of the things that I am seeking this year in my life is… Peace. I’m not talking about peace on earth, peace to my fellow man, or peace - love - & - happiness. Although, those are certainly worthwhile things to strive for, I’m specifically talking about a little bit of peace in my […]
Welcome Me To The 21st Century
I can’t believe it. I have an iPod. Me, with an iPod. I may be late to the party, but I am sure happy to have been invited. Ever since I got a pair of parachute pants in junior high on the tail end of them going out of style, I’ve been late with the […]
Blowin in the Wind
Because we have never taken a real family photo since the birth of our two children, my husband and I thought it would be fun to take a beach family photo while we were on vacation visiting my brother who lives on the East Coast. It was my husband and brother’s idea for all of […]
Wee Little Rockers
I wrote a blog many months ago about how my 2 boys loved the music from Tommy by The Who. Well I am happy to report that they are still rockin out. Only this time they’ve added Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult and The Ramones to their musical tastes. I still get tortured with Wheels […]
