Whoopie Pies Around the Nation. Growing up I watched my mother make meals for people in our church who had lost a loved one or had fallen ill. She could whip these things up in an hour and would drag us along to deliver them. The meals were always warmly received and I imagined myself…
This year I set a goal of one good deed a day – or 365 good deeds in 1 year. Setup some good Karma, make a difference, pay it forward, all that good stuff. It doesn’t have to be anything grand – something simple is still a good deed as long as it helped someone…
Today I went in to apply for government assistance/state aid for my youngest child. However, I knew we’d never be approved, but to get any type of help navigating the system, we must first apply for the basic government assistance, be rejected and only then can we apply for the aid we can actually get…
[ad#linkaboveadsense] [ad#468x15brownletters] Wake up with Treasure (5 months) 4 am feeding, we are up for the day. Check eBay sales with one hand, hold child with the other, bottle under chin. Finish bottle, over shoulder burping typing reply with one finger between pats. Keeper (age 3) gets up, goes immodestly to potty – potty training…
I’ve been told that back in the day our parents would go down to the school to sign you up and if you were lucky you may get to meet your teacher before the first day of school. Now when you “Register” your child for school they need a complete psychological work up. This is…
What is the cardinal rule- Never talk about Religion or Politics? That probably goes double for Blogging, but I’ve been watching that “Sister Wives” show and it just bugs me! I can’t figure out why, I mean I was raise Christian, but I don’t have a problem with Gays – why do I have such…
Never compare yourself to others – its probably a sin, but The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills almost instantly made me feel so Good about my life and myself in general. Who would have thought the rich and envied were nothing more than “Mean Girls” still living in the High School mentality. Drama from beginning…

Our Primary Care Physician is the most beautiful caring woman you’ll ever meet. And she has this nurse who is equally as beautiful, kind and patient. The nurse is no nonsense, where our physician will come in blowing bubbles in a kids face – they are the perfect pair and we couldn’t love them more….
1) the simplicity of a well stocked diaper bag Before we had children my husband seemed brilliant. He could fix anything, invent anything, cleaned up rather well and could hold a pretty decent conversation. That must have been the pregnancy thinking for me because just minutes after our first child was born, the brilliance seemed…
1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. 3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger. 4. There is…
When did you realize you were an Adult? Yeah – I know – right! The other day, I was talking to Treasure’s therapists, and it struck me “They think of me as an adult!” I don’t even try to fake being an adult. When I think of an adult, I think of all the adults…
