On Saturday, Hubby, H and I attended the 4th birthday party for our niece, Princess, at Pump It Up. Aren’t children’s birthday parties the best? She had just a wonderful time with all of her little friends…running, jumping, climbing, laughing…surely a birthday to remember for her.
H was thrilled as well and NEVER STOPPED MOVING the [...]

I love pocketbooks. And yes, I call them pocketbooks. They’re not purses, handbags, totes or clutches. They are pocketbooks. All of them. Pocketbooks.
I love them. I could carry a different one every day. I simply love them. Coach, Dooney & Bourke, Liz Claiborne, Nine West. . . I love them all. My husband gave me [...]
All About Me. Or is it Meme?
Posted in Friends, tagged About Me, Life, Meme, Tag on June 16, 2008 | 11 Comments »
I was recently tagged for a Meme by Kelly Without A Net. What was she thinking? Anyway, here’s how it works.
The rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, [...]
What Is A ‘Real’ Mother?

Why is it that when people learn that you have a child who joined your family via adoption, they feel the need to tell you an adoption story?
Yes, this happens ALL THE TIME.
The story that has kept me stewing for almost a year and a half, occurred just shortly after our son, H was born. [...]

Yesterday I donned for the first time, the new empire waist blouse I recently purchased. What in the world was I thinking? It makes me look pregnant.
I’m not pregnant.
I’m too old to be pregnant.
Maybe I’m too old for the dang blouse.
After a long day of sucking in my gut at the office, I returned home [...]

Life With a Tween Son

He’s a terrific student with straight As in school. He’s well liked, sensitive, creative, athletic and talented. Yet if his head weren’t attached to his shoulders, he’d leave the house without it.
Sound familiar? Ahhh…then you must have a tween boy in your house.
The Boy amazes me every day. He brings home As. How he does [...]
The Terrible Twos

Okay. . . I remember that the 3s are much worse than the 2s. I also remember that the tantrums, fits and blowups pretty much don’t stop until they reach 4 and sometimes 5 years old. What I didn’t remember is that the Terrible Twos begin at 18 months.
H is 19 months old and exhibiting [...]
New ‘Do’ . . . New Duds

I was in kind of a ‘funk’ (for lack of a better word) for most of the month of May. You know how it goes. I was feeling old, fat, wrinkled, you name it. This weekend I decided to get rid of the funk and start fresh in June.
First stop, the salon. When I told [...]
