Monday, July 13, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Forget the backyard garden plot. Forget buying fertilizer and watering daily. Weeding? It’s a thing of the past. The gutter! It’s the new craze in gardening. No need to water.

Back then, Twizzler hardly talked. He was a late bloomer, waiting til he could speak in full, correct sentences before [...]

Is it Just Me, or Do You Notice a Trend Here?

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 By Leave a Comment

….and is it any wonder that Twizzler had the time of his life last week at Cub Scout Day Camp? As a woman with NO experience with weapons (not counting nails and wooden spoons, of course) it is kind of amusing to witness boys’ obsessions with guns and all other weaponry. I have to admit [...]

This week’s MckLinky Blog Hop theme is Favorite Photo. Considering that I do a favorite photo feature every Friday and I tend to take tons of pictures, I figured that I’d include a couple of my favorite pictures from this weekend. I honestly wish I could spend every day at the pool. The weather lately [...]

Give Me Your Best Shot – Womenomics

Friday, July 3, 2009 By Leave a Comment

My favorite shot of from this week is certainly not the most technically proficient or beautiful picture, although the women in the picture are both proficient and beautiful. This is one of those occasions when my favorite shot became my favorite because of the story and the memories behind it. There is a great group [...]
