I have to admit my daughter has stinky feet. Stinky, like nothing I have ever smelled before (I probably said that the first time I smelled her poop)! I equated the stinky feet to socks and tennis shoes, but now that it is getting warmer, she is wearing sandals and the stinky feet are still… Continue reading Stinky Feet

After a long week of travel, I was exhausted but needed to go to the grocery store, so off Savanna and I went.  I drive a Prius, and the key fob is battery operated, but automatic, so when you are in close proximity to the car, the driver door automatically opens and the car starts… Continue reading Smarter Than Electronics

I adopted Bella from the AZ Humane Society 13 years ago. She and I went through a lot together (a rattlesnake bite that kept Bella in the ER Vet for 2 weeks, 5 different homes, 2 serious relationships (one my marriage), divorce and Savanna’s arrival) and Bella was not only the sweetest dog, but such a trooper through it all. … Continue reading Bella

Kids are entertained and amused by sounds, especially burps and farts.  Savanna laughs so hard when she farts.  She is a respectful lady though and does say “Excuse Me” after she farts or burps.  Savanna’s laughter is contagious and infectious, even if it is because of her farting. Savanna and I were playing on the… Continue reading Sounds

A couple days ago, I wrote about sorority sisters, looking forward to a reunion with some of my dearest friends from my sorority.  Today I am home from the weekend reunion.  We realized we all had not been together in over 10 years, but it seemed like no time had passed since we had all… Continue reading Friendship

I went away to college and knew nobody, so I joined a sorority.  I have had more people than I can count say to me “so you bought your friends!”  I explain, even though I shouldn’t have to explain any of my choices in life; I did not buy my friends…as with any organization, you… Continue reading Sorority Sisters

I remember my vision board had a very long list of what I wanted in a man.  It was a dream list of my perfect man.  My list may still be a dream, but it has definitely gotten shorter!  HA HA ·                     Honest ·         Loyal – I am the only one you want ·                     Kind… Continue reading Qualified Candidates Apply

Over the last couple weeks, something new has started with Savanna.  In the morning when I wake her up to get her ready for the day, she grunts at me.  Not a nice grunt…it is a “How dare you wake me up this early in the morning??” type of grunt.  This grunting goes on for… Continue reading Morning Sunshine

  Life is a gift!  Having kids reinforces that!  To see life through a child’s innocent eyes is amazing and awe inspiring.  We get older and take things for granted, forgetting some of the most simple things in life are the best things in life.  Savanna reminds me of this. Savanna gets so excited when… Continue reading Gifts

For any of you who have seen Greys Anatomy, when the main character has a bad day, she turns on the music and “dances it out”.  I love that idea and follow that in my own life.  Music is so powerful.  It can bring you back to a place of joy, pull you out of… Continue reading Dance Party
