Ga-Mole-A Bar
During breakfast this morning, my four year old daughter pointed to what she was eating and asked if it gives people moles. I laughed and told her that it didn’t and she asked, “Then why do they call them ‘ga-MOLE-a bars’?”
Holding back about five minutes of laughter, I let her know that she was eating [...]

IV, Exercise And $300

This study is funded by the Cancer Institute and it’s to show a correlation to mental wellness and exercise, which therefore, prevents cancer. It is the most interesting thing I have ever been a part of. I’ve been seen three times now [...]

My Birthday
There is nothing sweeter in life than experiencing my children plan and keep a birthday surprise from me. The love they show in their effort with keeping a secret, as a smirk crosses their face and they fold their arms while saying, “I’m not telling you what we’re doing”, just melts my heart.

Idols And Dinner
Having experienced Halloween at my son’s school, I was struck (yet again) by the ignorance and/or neglect of some of the parents. Why is it ever ok to allow your children in elementary school to dress like a murderer or look like a prostitute?? The parents of these children will be the ones asking what [...]
