Three channels — totally precable — black and white TV, even. PBS was a favorite of mine. Romper Room, too. I know that the Electric Company...

Is there really anything more to say about this cake? A cake made by my father-in-law with a raised cake nose, indents for eyes and mouth, and chocolate shavings for hair. No, I did not think so. My FIL makes cakes for every occasion…birthdays, graduations, special occasions. He loves the process of making a...

Today was a day. Teacher Professional Day. No school for any of the kids. Kids thrilled. Me…not so thrilled. I knew that I was conflicted about the day going in to the day. By the end of the day I was over the day — big time. On the one hand I wanted to...

I was asked to join a Blogger Advisory council for Speak_Now_for_Kids by Resourceful Mommy Media, LLC. I did not have to be asked twice once I found out that 11 percent of children in the United States are not insured. Just reading that number makes me furious.
