Wordless Wednesday – Jules, A Real Pillow Pet
The cat has been on my desk now for a few days in a row. At one point I put my head down on him gently. He didn’t care. Thanks for stopping by! If you have a picture up for Wordless Wednesday, leave your link below! Then head on over to From Val’s Kitchen and [...]
The Battle Of The Box Tops
I’ve written about the Box Tops For Education program before. I think it’s a great program and a great way for schools to earn money. My son goes to a private school. They do a great job teaching the students, and trying to make sure the student’s needs are addressed, including health and dietary. A [...]

I’m Taking The Plunge Again – The 2013 Polar Bear Plunge
Once again this year I’ll be freezin with a reason! In a couple of weeks I’ll be participating in the Polar Bear Plunge. The Polar Bear Plunge is an annual event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the Special Olympics of New Jersey. My son has benefited from Special Olympics programs. Last year was [...]
Wordless Wednesday – Interesting Personalized License Plates
I saw these license plates recently and they made me giggle. I also found myself wondering why people choose the license plates they choose. Reminder? Affirmation? Pride? Funny? Sometimes it makes sense, but other times not so much. Thanks for stopping by! If you have a picture up for Wordless Wednesday, leave your link below! [...]
More Alike Than Different – Empty Containers In The Fridge
My oldest son frequently puts bottles, containers and packages back with almost nothing in them. You know what I mean – a carton with less then one sip in it, a potato chip bag with 2 chips left in it. Well, today I opened the fridge and guess what I discovered? An empty orange juice [...]
More Alike Than Different – I Can Be Resourceful
We keep my youngest son’s games out in the living room, near our movie collection. That way he needs to ask us when he wants to play a game. Plus, he isn’t the gentlest with his games, so by keeping them out of his room we hope to minimize the scratches that inevitably appear. My [...]
Wordless Wednesday – Demon Speeding
An appropriate song to get pulled over by, don’t you think? Thanks for stopping by! If you have a picture up for Wordless Wednesday, leave your link below! Then head on over to From Val’s Kitchen and Here And There
More Alike Than Different – The Grocery Store Checkout
When we get to the checkout at the grocery store, trust me – our children are more alike than different. Neither one of my kids can be near a checkout without asking for a piece of candy.
Wordless Wednesday – More Alike Than Different – Fibbing
For years I have heard all sorts of things about people with Down syndrome. I’ve been told things like people with Down syndrome aren’t capable of saying something that isn’t true. That’s right, I’m talking about fibbing. I have one word for you people – BULL! My son is a good boy, but let me [...]
I’m Off To See The Wizard! Follow The Yellow Brick Road (And Me) To LA For The #DisneyOzEvent!
Lions And Tigers And Bears! Oh My! That’s almost what I said when I opened my email a few days ago to find an invitation to go to LA next month for the red carpet premiere of the new Disney movie OZ The Great And Powerful. Well, it might have been what I could have [...]
Monday Memory – Dance Practice And Why I Hate The Song I Shot The Sheriff
I took dance lessons when I was a child. I took several years of tap and a couple of jazz. My Mom would send me downstairs to practice every day. There was a point in time where the routine we were working on was to the Eric Clapton song “I Shot The Sheriff”. I didn’t [...]
Monday Memory – Colors
When I got married in 1986 our “color” for household stuff was blue. Everything we had was a deep blue. Dishes. Glasses. Silverware. Kitchen chair cushions. Bedding. Towels. You get the picture. Everything. Why? Because I was convinced at that time that everything needed to match everything else. Isn’t that silly! let me tell you [...]
Circular Scarf – Asking For Your Input
I’m always cold. I have found that it’s really helpful t keep the back of my neck covered, either with a hoodie or a scarf. I saw this scarf on clearance for like $5 at Kohl’s. It’s a giant loop, it doesn’t have two ends like a typical scarf. I’m guessng you put it around [...]
A Very Merry Unchristmas?
The other day, Wednesday to be precise, I decided to dedecorate. Dedecorating is what I call the process of taking the ornaments off of the tree and taking the tree down, along with taking the outside Christmas lights down. It’s the day where the tree that so proudly sat in the living room in front [...]
