Okay, I’ve had a few proud moments in my life. Probably not as many as I should, but I’ve achieved a couple of goals, gotten some applause and even a cheap plastic trophy or two…but none of those compare to this morning.
This morning I taught my daughter how to roar!
And not some wimpy, accidental growling [...]

Okay, so I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, and I woke up grumpy.
I had a bunch of work to do, a baby who wanted my undivided attention (when I just wanted to work,) and a lap-top that chose to be persnickety.

Hey all,
Gracie has officially entered the “era o’ cheerios.”

(Thank you “Mary-Lou” for sharing this poignant story with me…)
One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.
I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident.
Someone had given me a little ‘tea set’ as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.
Daddy [...]
