I made sloppy joe’s for dinner last night, yes it’s a veritable cornucopia of gourmet treats at my house. While browning the ground turkey, it occured to me that other people might not pound the crap out of their meat with a wooden spoon like I do to make sure there is not one bit larger [...]

I’m catching up on my blogging today so you get two entries for the price of one! We are on vacation in Carlsbad, CA. – cute village, wine tasting, spas, cafes, nice restaurants, pretty beach, and yes, surfing. We are at the Carlsbad Inn, which is pretty nice, just across a small street to the [...]

My big sister is here visiting from northern California. She is this fabulously creative, supportive, nurturing, giving and incredible woman (who by the way, doesn’t see any of that in herself, sheesh, maybe we set the bar too high for ourselves??) and I love her unique perspective on the little things in this world. The following [...]

I used to think I was a patient person. Actually, if I’m being honest with myself, perhaps patient isn’t the correct word. I was, um, easygoing. And possibly just easy, but that is definitely another post.
Being an older mom, I really started out feeling like I had patience in spades. After all, we waited so [...]

Zac joined a new basketball team here in the valley. One of his friends asked him to come out. It’s nice to see him enjoying being part of a team again. They seem like a great group of families too. I like that. Keep ‘em busy with good kids I say.
This team does a fundraiser for [...]

I tried to post yesterday and I sat in front of the computer and thought to myself, “what will I post about today?” Nothing came to mind … just the sound of crickets. Huh.
It reminded me of years ago in college in an English class I was in. I had this great teacher that looked [...]

It was a really bad day for my marriage when our three year old stopped taking naps, since the hub and I always enjoyed our own afternoon playdate (sly boots wink) while he slept. Or at least we had the OPTION to enjoy it. Now our only options are early, early and I repeat, early in the [...]

Now I’m singing “The things we do for love kids” - haha.
Zac turned 13 today - yikes.
He was in trouble so we didn’t do the BIG party with a ton o’ kids this year. He wanted to take five other teenagers paintballing and then do a sleep over. Instead, we decided to make it a [...]

So since this past weekend we had a blow up with the boy, we told him that we were not going to do a big birthday party with a bunch of his friends like he wanted. The plan was originally to go paint balling with a handful of friends and then possibly a sleep over. [...]
