Stormy the cat was tired.   Unfortunately this is where she choose to sleep:

Clothes Advice Needed

There are at least 200 women registered for the Blissdom Conference.
I don’t want to stand out for being best dressed or worst dressed.  I just want to kind of blend in.  
Clothes is not one of my passions.  I have never followed fashion.  I’m a follower of comfort.

Little Pink Skirt, How I Loved Thee

When I was seven years old my Mom made me a pink skirt that I loved, but she had to change the design when I stained it.

This past week we had several dishes with sauce or ketchup so I tied a bib on her “just to be safe.”
She came away from the table with the bib clean. The rest of her dress [...]

Do Princesses Wear Slips?

My three year old thinks they do.  She wore hers for 24 hours straight – even under her nightgown.  It’s white, lacy,  silky, and has a pink bow.  She always dances after she puts it on.  At least she says it’s dancing.
I was helping her get changed this morning and I just started laughing.  “Did Daddy [...]
