This afternoon I sat on a chair, acting as a barrier between my 18 month old and the floor. She stood next to me eating blueberries happily. I looked at the table [...] Read more »
Here is a picture of my son doing a balancing act on his sister’s bed. (I’m sharing this as part of the MOB Society’s Boys in Motion Link-Up) It seems my son is always trying to balance in some crazy fashion. As a toddler her was always falling off the kitchen chairs!

A few years ago I was able to visit Earthbound Farm in Carmel Valley, California. It was fun to go to the farm since I have purchased a number of Earthbound products over the years. I was recently able to go back and had a lovely time yet again! Spending some time with my family, [...] Read more »
My husband had a wonderful Grandmother. I mean, really wonderful. I count her as one of the most amazing women I have ever met. When she died last year, I knew I would miss her. Lots of people do. She was the adopted Grandma of so many I couldn’t begin to count. One thing I [...] Read more »
