My daughter has started negotiating with me using the game, Rock Paper Scissors!  I’m sure most people believe I should not negotiate with a 5 year old, but sometimes you just have to entertain this behavior! The other morning, my daughter asked for a waffle for breakfast, which I made for her.  She got distracted,… Continue reading Rock, Paper, Scissors

Today is my daughter’s 5th birthday!  I cannot believe how fast she is growing up and how fast time is flying. Birthday’s, in my opinion, are so important.  They are the one day that celebrates just you, and only you, so I think they should be special and celebrated BIG! The day starts with my… Continue reading Birthday

A couple years ago we started a tradition of a “staycation”.  Here in Arizona, the resorts cost quite a bit less in the summer, luring the locals to stay and partake in the resort fun.  In the past, we have gone with my girlfriend and her daughter, but this year they could not go.  Instead… Continue reading Staycation

That’s a lot to take in one week! Leaving the school, though, was a lot harder… Continue reading Push Pause

Coming home late on the Southwest flight, which was 95% booked, I found a window seat in the back of the plane with the middle seat vacant.  People kept walking by the middle seat, passing it up, and the lady sitting on the aisle and I kept exchanging wishful glances. Flight attendant asks over the… Continue reading No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

I have always had a crush on Enrique Iglesias, and last year I was fortunate enough to see him in concert. It was so good! He was energetic and lively, singing new songs and the oldies I loved…but best of all he was still hot!  Ha Ha Recently, Enrique released a new single “Move to… Continue reading Like Mother Like Daughter
