Motherhood has always been a time of joy and laughter. Toddlers are funny, they do cute things and are sweet. It's a very sweet time. Then... they start middle school and become - TEENAGERS! This is where I had to seriously develop my sense of humor (If I didn't I would... Read more..

If you've visited my blog before, you may have noticed that I like Flash Mob dances. The Oprah show turned me on to them. This one takes place in my state - North Carolina. Actually not far from where I live. And my oldest knows most of the dancers. They are from the University of North Carolina School of Arts Senior Dance program. (Go Fighting Pickles!) Enjoy!

Did you ever go to sleep and wake up 2 months later?... Or maybe I blinked and missed the last 2 months. What ever it is all I know is one minute it was August - summer was getting ready to be over and school was getting ready to start. Now it is almost November and I'm looking at a pumpkin that has seen better days. I love to blog and I love the blog community. I have missed you these last 2 months. There hasn't been anything monumental that has kept me from blogging...just my family. My husband just asked me how to make the TV work (turn off the DVD player and press on, honey...). That is...

Mom is Singing…

I like to sing. I'll admit it...I'm not the best singer, but it makes me happy so I sing. Apparently, my kids don't always like it when I sing. Today in the car as I was driving everyone to school, a song came on that I like. I know "most" of the words so I began singing. I... Read more..

My baby is growing up. (Ok, they're not babies when their age is in double digits!) But she's my youngest, so she will always be my baby! (It's even harder on her older sister - 20 - to see her baby sister growing up!) We went shopping for shoes recently and she has been after me to let her get "heels". Her definition of heels and mine are totally different! (She wants the 2 - 3", I want the 1/2" - 1" height.) So I let her get a pair of "grown-up shoes".
