I’m a little worried that I just won’t do this book justice as I try to write a review for you, that I won’t truly convey the power of this novel and the emotion that it caused me to feel. I wish it were as simple as telling you that you must read this book because if you haven’t you […]
I don’t care what anyone thinks – a lesson from a 12-year old

I love how laid back that summertime is, at least for the most part. I mean there’s still an alarm to set for Paul on his work days and Cody attends summer school three days a week, but aside from that, I like the relaxed feel of a bright sunny day. Yesterday after shoving Paul […]

I know. It seems like there’s always a new deal website popping up these days. I can remember a time when the only people who got deals were senior citizens and babies and that was before there was this thing called the internet and it had to be Tuesday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. You totally […]

Cody might love airplanes more than he loves me

I’m flying to Detroit early this afternoon as a guest of Ford Motor Company. Although my boys are both older I still feel a bit of guilt whenever I leave them. I hardly went out for dinner when they were smaller, let alone a trip overnight or anywhere that required a plane flight. Now that […]
