Oh that Diva of mine….she has her own style to be sure. She loves to dress up in pretty things. Then go climb a tree or make mud pies. She is a girly Tom-Boy. Just like her Mama. Only I was always shoeless. Climbing trees, playing in the dirt…beating up the boys who annoyed me. [...]

We were given an entire file folder of papers to look through, sign, etc. One of the “packets” was the Kindergarten Handbook. These are the last two pages. You can read for yourself. Anyone [...]
A friend of mine, Kas, from Southern Bella’s Ways To Save made me aware of the I Love The Way You Lie video yesterday. It’s very powerful. The lyrics and the imagery. It gave me chills. I especially like the chorus: Just gonna stand there and watch me burn? Well that’s alright because I like [...]

Yes, you read that right. My FIVE year old has grey hair. What the hell is that about? She’s FIVE. At least I was seven when my Big Bro found mine. Heh. I plucked that sucker out, put it in an envelop and marked it “The Diva’s 1st Grey Hair 8/2/10, Age 5 years 5 [...]
