Today was a fabulouso day! It was book club day with my three wonderful friends who for nearly two years now have gathered at my home each month to discuss our monthly book club choice.

My Little Girl a Senior?
OK...so, I have been a mom for over 17 years and though daily life with children can be draining, being a mom really is the most amazingly fulfilling thing I could spend my time doing. My daughter is in her senior year of high school and more and more I am coming to the realization that my time with her is drawing to far too rapid a conclusion. <heavy sigh> I am trying not to have a "doom and gloom" attitude through the realization … [Read more...]
Chick-fil-A College Game Day Fun
I think the reason I like college football is because I used to be a football statistician, therefore I understand and appreciate the nuances of the game.

I have been familiar with Tim and Darcy Kimmel for about five years and when I read the books Grace Based Parenting and Raising Kids for True Greatness...I became somewhat obnoxious with everyone I knew demanding that they read the books as well!
