Happy Singles Awareness Day
I know, I know. It’s Valentine’s Day. I just thought I’d take a moment to remind you of this post I did a year ago today. It’s easier than typing it out again, and I think I said it pretty good the first time. Happy Singles Awareness Day AND Happy Valentine’s Day!
Common New Year Resolutions
Two of the most common new year resolutions have to do with health and finances. Many people have weight loss as a number one resolution. I’ve never been big on making my own new year resolutions. I’m not even sure why. Fear of failure is probably the biggest reason. That’s the same reason I don’t [...]
I Still Believe in Santa Claus
I’m not sure what brought up the subject, but last night Andrew started talking about Christmas and Santa Claus. He looked at me kind of confused and said some people say Santa Claus isn’t real. I thought I was going to cry. I am not ready for him to stop believing in Santa Claus. I’m [...]

Made a big deal about it. And wished everybody over [...]
Christmas in California and the New Year
Christmas in California I got home from California Wednesday night. We had a great time! I’m so glad we were able to go. Andrew barely left my mom’s side the whole time. It was as good for him as it was her. It was good seeing my grandparents again. I always have a hard time [...]
Dear Santa…
Dear Santa, I’ve been a good mom all year. I’ve fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor’s office more than my doctor and sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground. I was hoping you could spread my list out over [...]
The Reason for the Season
Merry Christmas
Here Comes Santa Claus
Andrew and I went to the mall last Saturday, and he sat on Santa’s lap. Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas and Andrew wouldn’t tell him. So Santa said, “Will you leave me a note?” Andrew said yes. LOL He’s such a nut. Here he is with Santa. Merry Christmas!
