As you know, I have been a part of this family for almost 8 years. I have helped raise my three Step children, one is now away at college and seems to be doing quite well. The other two are entering their senior year of high school. I believe I have earned my place […]
Who leaves Easy Street? Easy Street…it was fun having an address there. And since joining forces with my hubby and becoming a Mom…I found that we quickly out grew that house and since then we have moved into a much bigger house relatively close by. We had work to do…to get Easy Street ready to […]
Our child is always going to come second I write this as I sit here tonight reminded of my place and our youngest child’s place in this family. While you would assume with a 14 year gap in age that the youngest would take the primary place in the family…it ain’t […]
Last night on a Saturday night, on the kid’s Mother’s weekend, I observed a room full of girls sitting at my kitchen table making over our little boy and having fun with him and I’m thinking…man about the last thing I’d think they would want to do on a Saturday night is this. They […]

I”m not talking about just the not listening part of that but the down right insolent behavior part. I don’t get it from them myself […]
I’m sitting at the kitchen table one Sunday morning with our little one. He’s eating breakfast and watching one of his favorite programs, I am drinking a cup of coffee and working on my iPad…hadn’t brushed my hair, was in my pjs…..looking great I’m sure. When the doorbell rings. Well whenever that happens, our […]
Our daughters now have full fledged drivers licenses. No more restrictions, they are good to go. Though we have provided for many if not most of the girls’ needs over these many years, we have yet to purchase them a car. Right now, until we sell our old house, we just can’t swing […]
