one day I’ll look back- grateful for the time I spent being with my girls I love haikus. They say a lot with few words. Sometimes lots of words make me tired, lol! Like yesterday- for some reason I was really, really tired. I could chalk it up to the time change and still getting […]
on a weathered bench I play minutes…hours… half a day! How I wish to pause the time play the day away on this piano of mine! Every year when the Christmas season is over, I always wish I had spent more time playing through my favorite Christmas piano books. Not this year! I am determined to […]
For a moment, I thought the zombie apocalypse might have come. I had just returned home from running a few errands, and the girls were no where to be found. When I was out shopping, I had called both girls on their cell phones, and also tried texting them. It was very strange for neither […]
My hubby and I had an impromptu date yesterday, and we decided to walk one of the local trails. Instead of wearing crocs with no socks (that rhymes, lol), I took the time to put on socks and shoes- a rare occasion it was! We got into the car, and marveled over the crystal […]
Since I was a kid, I have had a love affair with ice cream. A friend through thick and thin, ice cream was always there for me in my time of need. Summer heat and need a treat? Ice cream to the rescue. Boyfriend breakup and need a pick-me-up? Ice cream always did the trick. […]

My girls introduced me to a fab new Netflix show called “Nailed It”, in which ordinary folks try their best to reproduce a gloriously decorated cupcake or cake. This show is deliciously hilarious and fun to watch! Until one of my daughters said I needed to be on it. Ouch. What are you tryna say […]
I think back on the days when the girls were little and I lament over how little sleep I had, and how very much I felt pulled between working part time while I stayed at home with them. I remember the momma guilt I had when I hurried them to “get in the car because […]
I was feeling a little melancholy the other day as I was fixing a day-after Thanksgiving meal for the 4 of us. Now that the girls are getting older, holidays just feel different. I miss the girls being little and wanting to spend time with me. I miss the excitement of Santa and long toy […]
