Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Raise your hand if you remember this one! Oh, wait, but be careful that raising your arm might make you *cough* "grow"! Can you believe this was approved to be a childs toy? Can you believe that I had one? Oh, times were different weren't they?! Look at that packaging "She's two dolls in one... Continue Reading →
Last night my dad sent along these notes they found from a psychic reading they had done on me when I was 2. How cool is that? 42 years later and we can compare notes! Not being terribly shy about this stuff, my first thought was "blog post!" Notes are in precise sequence as spoken... Continue Reading →
Have you noticed the header? Yeah, I am updating it periodically as more cards arrive. Watch for yours if you sent me one! I feel the need to balance out the ultra girly Velvet/hair post with a more realistic representation of the true tomboy that I was as a child. So if you really must... Continue Reading →

Would somebody please help me remember that 12/10 is my blog anniversary? Thanks. Sheesh. Let's take a walk down memory lane shall we? A review of day 1 - Dec 10, 2005. In a different location back then. Blogspot hosted and shared just with August moms and a few C&J folks. Is This Thing On?... Continue Reading →

This is a Holidailies prompt from a couple of days ago, but I've decided to make my own rules (shocking isn't it?) and use promts as I need them even if they are late. I do promise not to jump ahead 🙂 Dear Santa, How are things up there? I know, you are swamped. I... Continue Reading →
(Yes, I have been forgetting to add the badge on my posts...told you guys I suck at this appointment blogging!) Needing a prompt today as I am currently neck deep in the baseball club's silent auction preparations for Thursday night and time is precious - as is brain space 🙂 From the Holidailies prompt for...

As I type this, SportsBoy is enjoying his Christmas gift from his dad - they are at the AC/DC concert in LA tonight! It's his first rock concert and of course it HAD to be that band since his dad and I have been poisoning him with their music for a very long time :-)... Continue Reading →
