I was seeing a guy coming of the rebound. I found myself caught up in a...

I have been spending extra attention lately on teaching how to treat the cats. We have two. One is a mellow old grey/brown tabby of 12yrs. He is a lap cat but...

Being the mother of a teenager is teaching me lessons daily. Lesson number one has been, keep your cool! This is something I’m not very good at. I don’t get “angry” (let me back-pedal before I sound like a horrible mother), but I get emotional. I never yell, but I do raise...

I am on vacation and it is a lovely thing. I had almost forgotten because this weekend was full of distractions. First, the pink slip (and that's all I say.) Second, my father and girlfriend came over to dinner on Saturday. It wasn't awful, but tense didn't even begin to explain how I felt.

I guess Eliot and Kristen are going to be the Bill and Monica of our parenting generation.
I actually laughed out loud when "FirstBorn" casually asked this of me while I was brushing my teeth the other day. That darn Matt Lauer!
I guess I knew it was...

A mother and child share thoughts of each other under the same moon while separated by the U.S./Mexico border in a touching story about illegal aliens as seen through their eyes.

Today is March 15th and most people in the Elk Grove area are aware that teachers are receiving pink slips today.
I knew this as I went to the mail box before heading to Trader Joe's. I saw the little slip indicating that I have a piece of certified mail at the post office. (Yes, we all have...

I just came inside, red faced and sweaty, to take a little break. I’ve been out shoveling mulch and working on my front yard for the last few hours, and DANG! Do I ever feel the burn!
Yesterday I biked over to our local public tennis courts and met up with three friends of a...

It’s Cinderella meets Cyrano de Bergerac meets Miss Piggy meets the paparazzi in a delightful fairy tale about inner beauty. A curse on a blue-blood family keeps Penelope (Christina Ricci) hidden away from the world until one day she ventures out to explore beyond her home and find her true...

I have been reading this book called "The House that God Builds" A manual for Christian Parenting. I know there is no Manual on how to raise children but there is references out there to help us. The first thing it says in the book is "Unless the Lord builds the...
