Video From MckMama

This “vacation” I’ve been lousy with many normal vacation things.  I had good intentions to have the kids send postcards…totally forgot. I brought along school reading books and math facts…totally forgot.
I do have awesome stories about the Blissdom Conference.  I do have a big list of improvements for this site and Simple Vlogging Tips.
I did [...]

Thank You Online Friends

I know that I’ve talked about online friends before, but it still amazes me how I can feel like I know a person I never met.  I know that I don’t really know them, but I do know quite a bit about them.  Know what I mean?  [Just couldn't help it - I knowingly did [...]

Summertime And The Sittin’ Is Easy

Last week my friend and I got to sit a bit and watch our kids ride bikes.  The weather was nice – not too hot or cold. It’s pretty easy to watch the kids right now because they can all walk, get in and out of their riding toys, and make the riding toys go [...]

Meeting An Online Friend

While on Twitter I noticed that @JennFowler  was in my neck of the woods.  I begged asked her to meet with me and she agreed!  Lunch at Panera was a great bonus.  We easily chatted about blogging, making money, doing reviews, all the pertinent stuff going on in the blogosphere.  An hour flew by and we had [...]

True Friends Will Like Me After Seeing My Mess

When someone walks into my messy house it makes me feel embarrassed, exposed, and ashamed of every bit of fun time I took for myself.  I think those guilty feelings are unnecessary.
I’m not advising you to forget cleaning when you invite someone over.  I’m saying that sometimes it’s good to just say, “Come on in. [...]

She Obviously Has No Child Care Experience

I received this scanned newspaper article via email. The author is Carolyn Hax writing for the Washington Post.  Well said Carolyn Hax!  I love the line “giving my forehead some keyboard.”  I personally had to pull my jawbone off the floor after reading the question.
You should be able to click on it to make it [...]

Games Can Beat the Winter Blues

Last Friday night we got together with a group of friends and played games.  And, of course, we had food.
I think the Bible version of Apples to Apples is much more fun than the normal version.  There was a large group of us playing it and I didn’t get a green card.  Not even one. [...]

Flabbergasted, Flattered, and Flat Out Happy

It took me over a year, but I’ve been awarded a bloggy award! So, all of you who haven’t received an award – hang in there! Those of you who have received a bunch of awards – don’t tell me, ok?

My first award is called the Arte Y Pico award and it “was created/made to [...]

Starting Summer with a Picnic

Ever eat a hamburger with jalapenos in it? My husband made some specially for our Memorial Day picnic.
The consensus seemed to be that the burgers were not too hot unless you put two together in one bun. Did I eat one? Are you kidding? After my husband took the time to [...]

MIRL With Friend and Fellow Blogger

I didn’t have to check this lady out when she called and asked to meet. I’ve known her since elementary school. She was, in fact, my husband’s girlfriend in Kindergarten; but I don’t hold that against her.
She came back to her native Yankee land for a visit.
Here we are in 1989. Sadly [...]
