Being a mother is tricky stuff. I have always said I float between serial killer and valedictorian with my children every single day. There isn’t a right answer or a book that tells you how to raise a healthy, well adjusted, productive human being. In fact, when I think about the actual task of helping…
Perspective. It’s all how you look at things. The glass is half empty or it’s half full. I’ve never really been a fan of these phrases because they’re usually uttered by people that are way too peppy or too dumb to know any better. See, that wasn’t very positive of me. Recently life has been…

I will not shop there and I tell everyone I know that they are contributing to the downfall of America if they……
I really like See’s Candy. I like to go into the store. It reminds me of Michael’s grandmother and it’s special. I suppose you can get candy anywhere and pay a lot less or get a larger amount, but I go to See’s. Every time I pick up candy for Easter or Christmas I get…
You know when you hear people say, “She’s a blast!” or “She can really let loose and party!”? Yeah, that’s not me. I’d like to think I’m fun to be around, but I’m not a blast. I don’t drink beer from a bottle, I don’t even like beer for that matter. I have recently developed…
