September 3, 2010 – 7:00 am | No Comment

I’ll apologize upfront. This post is more centered on working mamas and their working spouses. But recently, I was discussing school drop-off and pick-up procedures with a friend and was shocked to discover that until recently, she accomplished both by herself. AND held down a full-time job. What changed was, her work was failing and [...]

Aimee and Catherine recently wrote great posts about bullying and the subject seems to be everywhere in the media. I am always dismayed whenever I hear about it as my heart goes out to the victims and my wrath to the aggressors.

I had no idea my mention on my personal blog of that one purple dinosaur would cause such an uproar. Don’t get me wrong – I hate Barney.
But I despise Spongebob.
At least Barney has some educational value if you can get past all those those annoying kids who dance around him as if injected with [...]

Her name is Crystal.
When we enter her room, she smiles and a large red heart hovers over her sweet shaggy brown head. “I missed you!” she says with a squeak (via overhead bubble). It fades and we are left to earn money for her. We want her to have everything – a comfy bed, [...]
