I was one of those people who always wished that I had to wear glasses. I remember one time, in junior high maybe, that my mom got me fake glasses. I LOVED them, but I didn’t wear them often because I thought it was kind of lame to wear glasses for no reason, especially when...

Port-A-Shower
I wish I had a house. A BIG house that I could entertain groups of all sizes in. My little place isn’t ideal for large dinner parties or other events, like baby & bridal showers. And so when I am hosting one, I usually have to load up my car with plates, serving pieces, glasses,...
Am I getting old?
Or are longer drives just exhausting? Headed down to San Diego Thursday afternoon for a work conference and then drove back home late Friday afternoon and boy am I tuckered out! Maybe it was all that marketing stuff I learned that tired me out mentally. At least the room was nice (Loews Coronado Bay Resort)...
"Brown (& pink) paper packages tied up with string (ribbon)…"

Then they carefully wrap...

These are from none other than my precious and adorably cuddly nephew, Lance. Is there anything...

SoccerAllStarGirl
I HEART my niece Bailey. She’s funny and sweet and intelligent and loyal and caring. She’s also a super-star on the soccer field. Because her school backs up to my office, she’ll often come by in the morning before school to say Hi. We have this little thing where as she leaves I hug her...
