DLOGGing can be dangerous.
Every once in awhile Grizzlybearma needs a little break. I’m talking about getting out of the house, and out on the town. So here I am in New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s my first time here. Delicious dinner in a quaint restaurant down a side street off Bourbon Street. Live music everywhere. Drinks. A beautiful fancy →

Koda and Summer, You are in Good Hands (or paws or claws).
My twitter name is Grizzlibearma. I created the twitter account a few years ago so I could keep a watchful eye on the tweeting of my teenagers. Mamabear is what my daughter’s high school volleyball team affectionately called me when I organized their post-game treats. Teeth baring and sharp claws in the air, I have →

Puppies Find their Voices (and have a lot to say)!
The puppies cam home from school very talkative today. Up until now their barking as been fairly predictable. Summer barks from the crate to tell me she wants to be freed from lock up. She can be persistent even when she does not have to go out to to potty but just wants to roam →

Questions Circling Around in My Brain
What made us decide to start over again with puppies (babies) when we were just about to be empty nesters? Did we really think through this whole TWO puppies at the same time thing? Were we aware of the fast rate these puppies would grow? How long did we actually think these puppies would stay →

Football MamaBear
Today I spent the afternoon doing one of my favorite things as a mom. I put on my blue and white shirt, my BSH visor, my #77 player pin, and I cheered on the Knights football team. My youngest had his first game of his last year in high school. He is a captain and →

The Yellow Chair

A Ball Dropped, Sorry About That
Well, I guess I am not as good a juggler as I had thought. I opened my eyes this morning and it hit me, “I never posted a blog entry yesterday.” That dissapoints me greatly. I haven’t missed a day since I started this blog back in June. It’s not like I was going for →

Mama Bear: The Juggler
I am a juggler. This evening I even confirmed that fact with my daughter. In response to my asking her if I can juggle, she replied, “Yes, Mom, you are the master juggler.” We are not talking about oranges, bowling pins, or balls. I have experience with none of those. What I am able to →

First Day of School
This is the time of year when I used to get butterflies in my stomach with excitement. I am not talking about the setting up of my 2nd grade classroom, hanging bulletin boards and writing lesson plans. That does bring back memories of anticipation and enthusiasm for the start of a school year with a →
