My dad sent this to me today.  It is hilarious.  I think the reason that I find it funny is that, in my opinion, the little girl looks just like Toad with long hair.  I could see Toad doing this […]

This is just a venting post so skip it if you wish 🙂  I would if I were you.   I am actually a bit embarrassed to post this.  I know that I am a bit of a whiner and that […]

I love the mother’s instinct.  I think that it is priceless.  Thankfully, my doctor puts a lot of stock in mother’s instinct as well.  She always includes my opinion when making her diagnosis.  I can’t tell you the amount of […]

If you have had the great pleasure (or unfortunate disadvantage) of spending time with me over the last few years, you know that I have a hearing loss.  I first noticed how bad it had gotten about 2 1/2 years […]

For many years now, my dad has told me, it doesn’t matter.  It is only stuff.  Or, it is only money.  Now, in life we do need some stuff and some money to make a normal life.  However, I can’t […]

We are LDS and in our faith, children can choose to be baptized starting at 8 years old.  Well, Nena turned 8 in August and chose to be baptized.  I am so proud of her and her decisions to make […]

Yep, school is back in session and I was once again met with mixed emotions.  I have a very bitter sweet relationship with school.  I love that my kiddos are back on routine and learning.  I love that they are […]

With Nena getting a bit older, she is now starting to form her own opinions. Some are great.  Some, I could live without.  Oh well.  Such is life.  I am sure that my mother would tell me that I was […]

After a really hard day at mediation, I decided to take the kiddos on a mini vacay.  I was planning on heading up to Bear Lake and even had my family talked into going with me.  However, as luck would […]
