Just Like My Daddy…

It’s dinner time.
Dinner tonight is a savory meal of rice, moist, delicious roasted chicken, and nicely seasoned vegetables. Hubby has a meeting after work so he’ll be eating his dinner later. But my boys, aged 5 and 3, need to eat now – a little extra play time, clean up time, bath time, and bedtime [...]

Giddy Up, Cowboy!!!

I was sitting down at the dining table the other day, typing away at my computer. The boys were playing with their cars on the dining floor. They laughed and chatted about all sorts of things as they played. I joined in their conversation, laughing along… but I kept typing away.
My 2 yr old then [...]

Lady in the Blue Jacket

It feels like things have always been like this. Early every morning, as we get ready for the day, I look out the window and I see her walking. She is an older lady – probably in her early to mid seventies would be my guess. She is tiny. Her back is a little bit [...]

Don’t Forget To Spank Him!

We have a side by side fridge & freezer – one of those with a freezer from top to bottom on the left side, and a fridge from top to bottom on the right side. It saves us a lot of space – we don’t need a deep freezer in addition to a huge fridge. [...]

God, What are you doing???

I’ve been hearing about Jos, Nigeria in the last few days. Most parts of the country are not experiencing this turmoil – Nigeria is huge – but it is heartbreaking nonetheless. People in the city of Jos are being brutally killed and forced to flee their homes, in the name of religion (and more). I [...]

It’s Not Up to Them!

A little while ago, the boys had been happily playing with their toys when they both decided they wanted to play pretend with Barney and Leapfrog, two of their favorite stuffed animals. The animals were both out of their reach that day, so they asked if I would get them (My 4yr old wanted his [...]

Don’t want kisses…

It was a typical evening, just a few days ago. We were all tired after what had been a long and busy day, each one of us dealing with their day and their work the best way they could. I sat on the couch watching the boys play, thinking – I’ll catch my breath before [...]

Samosa Days, Giraffe Nights, Puppies, etc: A Thank Fest

I am thankful.
My home is currently extremely messy and is truly a shame to behold – we’ve all been pretty sick (each of us in varying degrees) this past week, and everything except the essential stuff has taken the back burner. I am thankful we have a home to live in – the mess can [...]

I’m wearing mine right now….:)!

A little while ago, I was getting ready to host an event and I had quite a bit of errands to run, shopping to do, several things to cross off my to-do list. At the same time I was running several ideas in my head – some pretty exciting business & business advertising ideas I [...]
