    The Birthday gift…a family photo

    By admin | Published: November 20, 2012

    We’ve used the same professional photographer since she took our older son’s high school graduation pictures years ago.   She does very good work, she charges the moon.  Taking my husband’s complaints to heart plus my own sticker shock…once, just once I decided to try to save some money and we took our little one […]

    Dresses and Drama

    By admin | Published: November 15, 2012

      I’m sitting here trying to think back to the first time I was involved in getting our girls ready for a social function.  There have been several dances as you can imagine with two girls.  I started from the basic premise that my role was not to step on their Mother’s toes, but to […]

    Snog and Goblins

    By admin | Published: November 12, 2012

    Becoming a Step Mom has allowed me to do things I thought I was never going to be able to do.  Although my parents were divorced, my Mom and Dad were pretty good at making sure we got as much of the normal kid experiences as we could.  Things like coloring Easter Eggs, making Halloween […]

    Sweet and Sour 16

    By admin | Published: November 12, 2012

        If you’ve ever been around a teen aged girl who is about to turn 16, you know that it is a time full of excitement, anxiety, anticipation, trepidation, all that.  Then if you take that and double it, this is just where things started in our house at this memorable time. Complicate this […]

    Friends

    By admin | Published: November 12, 2012

    I fully credit that I did as well as I did after the death of my first husband to the fact that I had a wonderful support system. I had my family of course and that can’t be understated. They helped me in more ways than I can even say. I also had several good […]

    First lemon…I mean….car…

    By admin | Published: September 1, 2011

    This is one of my favorite stories about our Oldest son.  So he starts to learn to drive (he was so bad at it!!!) and his Grandfather gives him a car that dies just a few months after he had it.  Mechanical, wasn’t his fault.  Of course our son had torn the bumpers off by […]

    Christmas Presence…..

    By admin | Published: August 9, 2011

    I have never seen anything like the way these kids blow through a Christmas morning. For me and maybe for many of you, from Thanksgiving night all the way to Christmas, it was all about anticipation.  We were asked to write a Christmas list, which we painstakingly did.  We were asked once, and we proudly […]

    Stormy Weather and a lesson in Responsibility

    By admin | Published: July 28, 2011

    It’s storming right now, so I am reminded of something that happened one stormy night a while back, this is a good one.  It has to do with growing up, responsibility and parental endurance. Our eldest son had started working at a pancake house and good for him.  He met there, a girl whose name […]

    The girls…

    By admin | Published: July 26, 2011

    Ahh the girls, where to begin.  Well let’s start by saying that we have two the same age.  They are twins.  They are not identical; in fact they are as different as night and day.  One of their favorite gags is when in public we introduce them as twins and some poor sap says…Oh, fraternal? […]
