Happy Birthday Mom!
My Mom (Pat. @ Here And There) is my most dedicated reader, she reads both Mom Knows It All and From Val’s Kitchen every day. She’s an amazing woman and I don’t know what I would do without her. She’s always willing to lend an ear or a shoulder to lean on or cry on [...]
Holiday Thanks For My Parents
I love Christmas, it’s my favorite holiday of the year. From as far back as I can remember that has been the case. I think this is partially the case because of the visual beauty of the holiday. Since I was little I’ve always enjoyed the sights of Christmas. My parents go all out. The [...]
Shopping For Savings, Mom Style
My Mom has always been a careful, frugal shopper. She only buys things when they are on sale. She gets to know the sales patterns in the stores, and sometimes the sales people, so she’ll know in advance when items she wants to buy are going to be marked down. When she finds something that [...]
Only A Few More Days To Florida!
I’m so excited – I’m going to Disney next week! I’m really looking forward to seeing CJ’s reaction in the parks as he’s really into Mickey and Pooh. He and I are flying out on Tuesday. My parents, as well as my brother LB3 and his girlfriend Diva, are driving down. They left last night. [...]
No More Cold Coffee
I hate the way some hot beverages cool off so quickly. At work if I’m in the mood for a hot beverage I drink coffee or hot chocolate. I sip both. A cup of hot chocolate is usually getting cold at ten minutes, coffee a little longer at fifteen. My Mom knew that I like [...]
Do You Think It’s Ok to Change Wedding Rings?
As I’ve been losing weight more than my clothes are getting loose – my rings are too. For the past couple of weeks I’ve been dreading the day that I have to take them off because they’re too loose. I’m planning on trying a ring guard. It’s funny that I’ve grown so attached – I [...]
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE – MUST HAVES – Belkin Flythru Laptop Case
GIFT IDEA -BELKIN FLYTHRU LAPTOP CASE Anyone that hasn’t traveled with my Mom doesn’t know the exquisite pleasure of almost missing a flight because everyone’s bags were being painstakingly gone through looking for drugs. A baggie of laundry detergent can look a lot like drugs I guess. Any luggage or bags that would end the [...]
Visual Voicemail, A Possible Answer To Mom’s Problem
I’ve seen the term visual voicemail mentioned a few times lately and wondered what in the world it was. Smith Micro, a company specializing in computer security and technology, has come up with programming that allows you to get your voicemail messages without dialing your voicemail. From what I read they appear in a list [...]
Childrens Clothing – Are We Rushing Our Children To Grow Up?
I was out and about today looking at some children’s clothing. CJ needs some more long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts for the winter. Now he’s 10 years old but he’s very small. He’s only just gone into a size 8. Why is it that the nice, cute boys clothing stops at sizes 6 and 7? [...]
Finding The Perfect Gift
Tomorrow is my Mom’s birthday. Even though money is tight I still want her to have a gift she’ll enjoy. I did look for gifts for her in a few local stores but had no luck finding the right one in any of them. Every year she and my Dad get a bit more challenging [...]
I Can Do Without This Cold
All in all this summer was fairly mild. We had a couple of really hot days but it wasn’t as bad as soon. Now we’ve gone to extreme cold for an October fall day. Northern New Jersey actually had snow a couple of days ago. I broke down and turned the heat on. My parents [...]
Disney On Ice Fall Schedule And Special Discount Offer
My entire family loves Disney, especially my parents. One thing that my Mom would really love to do is go to see Disney On Ice. I’ve learned that they’re coming around to our area again in the next few months, and even have a discount offer for tickets that I can share with you. Some [...]
Epic Summer Family Vacation Adventures
Both of the best vacations I’ve ever taken were all inclusive. It’s so awesome not to have to worry about last minute charges and how to pay for things. I learned about a new all inclusive family vacation that sounds like a lot of fun. Epic Summer Vacations aren’t just vacations, they’re adventures. I love [...]
Raising The Bar No Child’s Left Behind On TNT
I remember when I was about fifteen and dating my Mom would tease me, telling me she was going to show boys I brought home my baby pictures. Sounds innocent, right? It was. The pictures were of me as a baby, naked on my belly on a little rug. I always begged her not to [...]
Heads Or Tails 96
This weeks game is TAILS – “Summertime memory”. One of my favorite summertime memories is from a camping trip taken several years ago. It was during early August, on a family camping trip to Watkins Glen NY. We camp there every year. We were all sitting outside – myself, RB, CJ, my Dad, my Mom [...]
