I’m not a big movie person. I blame it on my ability to become totally distracted by anything shiny. Seriously, I have the attention span of a squirrel. But that being said, there are a few movies that will make me stop whatever it is that I’m doing and become totally engrossed in the story.…
Coffee Bars in the High School
A few months ago, I noticed that my kids were running around the house collecting any loose coins that they found lying around on the tables, in the car, etc. This didn’t bother me, I thought maybe they were being industrious and trying to save money, after all, they know that my husband and I…
Day 1: My Favorite Songs (I Can’t Pick Just One)
I love music, unfortunately, I’m not very musically inclined. Well, except when I’m in the car ~ then I turn up the radio and totally rock out to some of my favorite songs. Sometimes, if I’m really “feeling it” I’ll pull over on the side of the road and try to force the kids to…

The Banana Incident of 1978
I don’t think it’s any secret that I love monkeys. No, that’s not true. I’m obsessed with monkeys. And lest you think it’s just me, my cousin has informed me that her daughter also has an intense love for monkeys as does another cousin of mine. A family thing? Probably not, the rest of the…
I Got PINKED!
I’d like to thank Stephanie at Shear Tease in Wyoming, PA for getting me PINKED in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every year, I go pink in the hopes that we will find a cure for this awful disease. I do it to celebrate the survivors in my family: my mother~in~law, Gloria, and my…
