For the last several months, I have picked one of the Fishful Thinking ingredients to focus on for the month. Last month, when I found out that my dad has cancer, I was grateful to be concentrating on hope and goal setting. The timing was perfect. And now, as I took a huge step (for […]
Earlier this week, we “broke in” the summer camp’s new swimming pool. Granted, the dogs who live at the ranch have been playing in the water since the pools were completed, but our kids were the first humans. Let’s just say that they had a good time, despite the cold water. Now, the kids are […]
Today’s guest post is brought to you by the super fun Allison from Alli-n-son. Meanwhile, I am busy getting ready to jump into this conference business. Just a few more hours! I’ve never been good at letting lose, especially around new people, or people that I don’t see often, or sometimes even good friends. I’m […]
Here I go…. off to the Casual Blogger Conference and my first speaking engagement x2
Last Friday, something unique happened. CandyMan and I only had three children. Necco was at girl scout camp and KitKat was at Hershey Park performing with her middle school chorus group.

It’s yellow week at I Heart Faces, and this picture (which is the opening screen on my itouch) was the one that came to my mind. On a warm Spring day, Reese was playing in the backyard with water, and although I thought it was totally gross, I had to catch a picture of her […]
I am an allergy sufferer. Spring might have been my favorite time of the year had it not been the season of sneezing, watery, itchy eyes (which turn to dry itchy eyes at night), coughs, and itchy throats. To manage my allergies, I have tried: • prescription and non-prescription allergy medicines • closing the windows […]
Most of you know that I am one of the faculty moms with the Fishful Thinking program. Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in a Blog Talk Radio segment with Dr. Karen Reivich, talking about the results from the Parenting Positive Kids survey. I love the Fishful Thinking program and all it stands for. […]
