There’s a time in a toddler’s life when you can give them a little pasta, a little pizza, and they are a happy camper! But somehow – you are not!! Oy, you think- I wish they’d eat something besides pasta and pizza. Even though you know they sell healthy, whole wheat pasta, completely protein…

  Many may think all women love to shop. But, here’s an interesting realization I have come to. There are women who love to shop, and women who really don’t.   When you see a woman carrying a few boxes of recently purchased shoes, a new purse, and 4 new outfits, you can probably bet…

    Here’s the thing sometimes we just get stuck in a dilemma or a challenge. Not a major one. I call it a time consuming one. And that’s when our minds go wild. In the end, I’m sure we make the honest, right move. But our minds have traveled some convoluted paths to get…

  What am I still searching for?! The last thing I want to do is find one more crumb? And then, how does the holiday start? With a major search!  I’m searched out!  If you haven’t been able to wipe it away, vacuum it away, burn it away, or cart it away, then I think…

  Well excuse me! Does your kid really need a vacation? I think they can use a break!   Is it possibly okay to stay home for school break? Sure! But, kids are longing to do something. They want a change!   I guess life needs to have more to it than wake up, eat…

  Can it be diet time again so soon? I can’t believe it. How do they come around again so quickly? I just started one last week!!!   That’s the thing, starting them is really tough enough. But starting them again and again is enough to kill you. Sure I get it- if you could…
