Empty Nest? Not in this house.
One celebration down, one more to go. Yesterday we cheered as our son’s name was called on the loud speaker as he crossed the stage to receive his college diploma. The four years that have passed since the day we dropped him off have flown by in a quick minute. The skinny eighteen year old →

I’m busy, but not too busy to miss movie day! “HAPPY”
Here’s a little one to make you smile. Lately I have been a bit teary with all the “lasts” that are happening. This morning was “last sack lunch I’ve prepared” and the other day was my daughter’s “last morning in the house before going off to work” because she’s moving to the city. Our college →

I’m back! Did you miss me?
Where have I been for the last week? Why have I not been posting anything on my blog? Did you even notice? Did you miss me? I created my blog site almost ten months ago. I set a goal of one year for continuous blogging. Early on, I did not miss a day without posting. →

PARTY TIME FOR THE PUPS!
There’s nothing like a festive birthday party! While my husband successfully pulled off a surprise for my 40th birthday, and I loved it, I also enjoy the role of party planner. With four kids’ birthdays to celebrate I have planned many celebrations over the years. Some were more elaborate than others. Right in our backyard, →
