How Heavy is Your Glass?

We’ve all had those days when you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. As single parents I think we have them even more often. I once got an email addressing this very issue. A woman walked around a room holding a glass of water as the audience waited for what they assumed would be the age old question, “Is the glass half empty or half full?” Instead she asked a different question, “How heavy do you think this glass is?” The audience caught a little off-guard began throwing out answers, “8 oz!” “20 oz!” She … Continue reading →

It can be no small feat to keep your child or children safe, occupied, and content while you take even a short phone call.

Preventing Injuries as You Prepare Your House for the Holidays

Whoever thought that decorating your home could be dangerous? Well according to the “U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission,” injuries from holiday decorating and decorations are on the rise. I read that many people are cut from shattered glass ornaments and falling from ladders while trying to put up lights or other holiday decorations. Burn injuries and deaths are also issues when it comes to fires caused by candles or Christmas trees. No one likes to think it could happen to them but we really do need to keep safety in the back of our minds as we prepare our homes … Continue reading →

Marines Gone Wild

Have you been invited to a Marine Corps Ball lately? If not, chances are you aren’t quite famous enough. I am kidding, of course. Since becoming a Marine wife, I have attended several balls, held each November to honor the founding date of the Marine Corps. Think of it as a prom for Marines on their company’s birthday. It is a big deal – everyone dresses up, then eats and dances after a ceremony to honor all Marines past and present. The only ball I’ve been to that had anyone even remotely famous was one we attended out in San … Continue reading →

I have wanted to be a teacher since I was a little girl, and the only thing that could top that career in my heart and mind was being a mommy. By the time I got my degree in education, I already had two kids in tow. I knew that they were my absolute joy and my #1 priority. Why would I drop my … Continue reading →

Looney Tunes Love

It happened so fast. He didn’t know what hit him. Or was it a she? He, she, it, who or whatever donned the Sylvester costume at Six Flags Great America last Saturday; you have this mom’s heartfelt thanks. Thank you for rebounding so quickly when my overzealous 6-year-old tackled you like a rag doll. I didn’t realize you would be so short. Thank you for embracing my daughter in your furry arms with extra enthusiasm after she screamed: “Sylvester, I drove three HOURS to hug you!” I didn’t realize you could hear so well through all that fluff. Thank you … Continue reading →
