The Diva Needs New Shoes For School

Yes, school starts in approximately 15 days and I need to buy The Diva shoes. And clothes. And school supplies. Daddy wants her to finally have a pair of Converse high tops, but I’m not so sure because of the flexible sides. Yes, I’m one of those Moms. The ones always worried about safety. And [...]

For Amanda…

If you live in Pennsylvania, you will appreciate this video. For those that don’t live there, I must explain that, according to Amanda, and with the exception of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is much better suited sandwiched between Alabama and Mississippi than New York, New Jersey and Ohio.

Hello there Inmates! How have you been? I know, I have been neglecting my bloggy. I’m sorry. I have been busy making other people’s blogs look pretty.

Just Another Wordless Wednesday…Ballerina Faerie

The Diva is, shall we say, a bit eccentric. What? But she’s only five, how can she be eccentric?!?! If you lived with her, you’d know what I am talking about. She has always been different. She is extremely intelligent, very creative and has a boundless imagination. Her imaginary friend is a boy. His name [...]

Just Another Wordless Wednesday…Last Day Of School

The Diva graduated from preschool at the end of  last month. She starts Kindergarten on August 11th. Summer is only 6 weeks long this year.

The Soundtrack Of My Memories: Songs Of Summer

I  have made no secret of my intense dislike of Summer and it’s broiler like heat, but there was a time, back in the Stone Age, when I loved Summer. It was because I grew up by the beach. We didn’t really need central air because it never got that hot. And if it did [...]
