Well, we are officially waiting for the movers to arrive, which is scheduled for Wednesday, but with the hurricane things could change. My internet at home has been shut off (due to the move – NOT the weather) so I am using my friend’s computer at her house. Ahhh – the joys of pcsing. Hopefully [...]

Childcare. We all need it at one point. It’s not a bad thing to need someone else to watch your kids when they’re driving you crazy so you can get a break or take care of something that is best done without kids in tow. Your kids are supposed to drive you crazy – it’s [...]

Twenty-one years ago, a little baby girl was almost born in the elevator at Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii. Luckily, she managed to hang on for a few extra minutes and then joined the world kicking and screaming in a delivery room to a very thankful delivery staff. It has been 21 years to [...]

Both of my girls do beauty pageants. We love them. No, they do not look like Jon Benet – but they do have very beautiful clothes (that I make) and they love to get up on stage and act silly and they love the crowns and trophies. But I never thought I would see nuns in [...]

The portable job. It is something we all wish for – we could pack it up with the rest of our house, move it, and once we get where we going - BAM – we’re up and running and working again. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not. I have had the wonderful opportunity of [...]
