On a good day music energizes me! On a bad day music soothes me! I so embrace silence and practice it often...but there is something about music... … [Read more...]

Challenger Memories
I had just started my career as a Corporate Paralegal on the island of Palm Beach. Twenty five years ago today there was excitement in the air as everyone was anticipating the Challenger Space Shuttle launch. At the time of the launch everyone gathered in the Senior Attorney's office to watch the big event - we had a clear view out over the Atlantic Ocean and there was a bright blue sky that day. As we stood silently watching history in the … [Read more...]
Help for Moms Who Wanna Have Fun
Part of my m.o. is that I am a mom who likes to have fun with my kids.

Meaningless Mattress Post
It seems like such a small thing, but actually, it is pretty big - I am referring to your mattress. Now before you go crying foul because you think this is one of those blog sites that gets money for promoting things, allow me to assure it is not. I receive 0 dollars for this website – thus the non-banners on the side. And, I am not even going to plug the brand name of the mattress we purchased. I am just here to tell you that if you … [Read more...]
Daughter Love!
Remember when little girls used to play with Barbie dolls? Frighteningly society is working hard to convince our little girls (I'm talking 8 to 10 year olds here!) they need to look like Barbie dolls - now! Hair, make-up and even clothes formally marketed to women are being marketed to little girls. Can this be healthy? Join me over at MomLife Today for a video interview I did with Speaker/Author Dannah Gresh and see what she has to say … [Read more...]
I Have An Editor!!!
I spent an hour on the phone today meeting and discussing my first book project with my Editor. Hey who just hijacked my blog and wrote that? Wait a minute...I wrote that! Rejoice with me in the goodness of the Lord. It is only because He wants this book to happen that it is happening - there is no other logical explanation! Isn't that just like God to do the amazing in the life of someone ordinary? Thank you Father … [Read more...]

Simple Day…
My day has been ordinary. My day has been extraordinary...because I shared it with my family through conversation, laughter and knowing glances that reflected love and care. These family MOMents exist daily, but sadly I don't always notice them...or appreciate them. As I contemplate the absence of "mom" in the home of Gabrielle Giffords I realize the ordinariness of every day should be welcomed. As I read the posts of a beloved husband, … [Read more...]
Being Sick Stinks, But Has It’s Perks
So - the elephant sitting on my head last week also took up residence on my chest and as it turned out I ended up with a sinus infection as well as bronchitis...and a touch of strep throat! Lovely. Here's the happy part of the story...hubby and I were scheduled to go out of town for the FamilyLife Speaker Retreat and when I asked the doc if I should still go his reply was music to my ears, "Where would you get the most rest?" ARE YOU … [Read more...]
