Recently, I wrote a post about growing up as the daughter of a beautiful mother which prompted Nancy to ask, “What did you learn from having a beautiful mother? Do you think it made a difference in how you viewed the world? Just curious…” Oh boy! I could write volumes on how I was affected by […]

Without further ado I give you, I Comment Therefore I Am: While visiting Speaking from the Crib, I was asked to share a holiday tradition. My answer: I like to get drunk, pick fights, and […]

Happy Holidays!
I am not the wisest person in the world, but due to circumstances in my life I learned certain truths early on. This is not the first holiday season that I find myself financially challenged and it does not matter one bit, I will still have a wonderful holiday and this is why: The best […]
My Lame Excuses for Not Going out With My Husband
The last time my husband and I went out to dinner alone was on our anniversary. We didn’t go anywhere fancy just to our favorite local Mexican restaurant. The evening was a great success.
