Going on Oprah…In My Mind!

This post was inspired by Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop.

When I saw the five choices for this week’s assignment I didn’t hesitate as to which one I would pick. I actually wrote to Oprah a few years ago asking her to have someone on her show who has more courage and a greater voice than I [...]

Sometimes the Right Pet is Waiting to Find You

This book was given to me at no cost as a member of the From Left to Write book club.  This post was inspired by this book.
Cowboy & Wills by Monica Holloway is the true story of a little boy with autism who is brought out of his shell when he finally gets the pet [...]

Tuesdays With Tyler: Sesame Place, Sick Parents’ Style

Yesterday we took Tyler to Sesame Place for the first time.   Luckily I had my handicapped placard that got us pretty close to the park entrance.  We had reserved a wheelchair, actually we had to pay for it, which really irked me, because I have never had to pay for a wheelchair at any [...]

Five Images of a Perfect Summer

This post was inspired by Mama’s Losin’ It!’s Writer’s Workshop.

When I started to think about this topic, I thought of how my ideas of a perfect summer have changed throughout my life.  How in my early to mid 20s the idea of hanging out on the beach, getting a fabulous tan and meeting a potential [...]

I Was Scammed and Don’t Want You to Be

I always believe in recommending or advertising to my followers only legitimate opportunities. This site had received 100% approval from other Tweeters. Normally, I do not even post [...]

Tuesdays With Tyler: Carnevale Italiano

I’m about a month behind in posting our summer activities!  We went to this nearby annual event in July. I think we took Tyler once, though before he was born I used to go all of the time!  You know how that can be!  The food, rides and games are packed pretty tightly together so [...]

Dear Mommy,

This post was inspired by the writer’s workshop from Mama’s Losin’ It!
Dear Mommy,
I know a few weeks ago you and daddy sat me down and told me that you had a “Disease”, which is something that will never go away.  That you are sick, but not “sick, sick” and that it doesn’t mean you are [...]

Tuesdays With Tyler: To the Beach or Bust Part 2

So, we did it and I lived to tell the tale!  Tyler woke up around 6:45 on Saturday morning and when I told him we were going to the beach he started crying and saying he didn’t want to go. Weekend mornings are Tyler, Daddy and television time and the two of them look forward [...]

Just Another Static Monday

I hate Mondays but not for the reason most people do as I no longer work, so I don’t have what my husband refers to as “Sunday Stress” leading to Monday Morning Dread and Panic.
For me, every Monday is the same.  I wake up exhausting and hurting after taking care of Tyler all weekend long. [...]
