We are at a point again in Cody and Nick’s education where they are at the same school, the high school. I’m sure many parents agree that this makes things so much easier. I don’t even feel like I need to explain why because the reasons are so obvious. So last night we had an […]
Ford’s Drive One 4 Ur School Fundraising Event
October 3, 2012 · by · 3 Comments
If there’s one thing that drives me crazy, it’s the school fundraiser information that comes home from school every year. The kids both have different packets of stuff to buy and they get a percentage of the sales, not a huge percentage in most cases. The big problem with that for me is that there’s […]

Every year as the kids’ birthdays approach, I find myself remembering back to being as big as a house as well as the anticipation I felt at the thought of holding each of them in my arms. So as not to disappoint my family, yesterday while at dinner I began a sentence with fourteen years […]
Homecoming is a little bittersweet

I remember the excitement of homecoming week very well. I was a cheerleader in high school, so I played an active role in bringing out school spirit in my fellow classmates.

Most nights during summer vacation Nick played video games late into the evening and slept until at least noon on the days that followed. For the last week I’ve been gently reminding him that 6:30 would come very early on the first day of school so he really should needed to lessen his game play […]
Riding in the car with my teenager

One of my very favorite things to do is have time alone with Nick. It doesn’t happen very often, so when it does I make every effort to enjoy every minute. Last week I needed to get some shopping done, which included new school clothes for both Cody and Nick. Cody despises shopping, which makes […]
I like to please my family

While I feel truly fortunate for the many amazing opportunities that have come to me through blogging, some of my most favorite are the ones that have included unforgettable experiences for my family, like attending live WWE events. Here’s the thing, I don’t get nearly the same joy from watching these Superstars climb into a […]
