Oprah Winfrey signs off network television, May 25, 2011 after 25 years. That’s tomorrow. It’s hard to believe that her show debuted in Chicago on September 8, 1996. I will admit that I have watched a lot of Oprah episodes over the years so I will be home watching the last episode with a box […]
The Chair is Now a Fort – Therapy Thursday
Once there was a chair (click here to read the history of the chair) that kept me up at night because it was filled with papers, magazines and god knows what and now it has been turned into a fort for an eight year old girl. I sucked it up, took a weekend and […]

Moms as Surgeons – Wordless Wednesday w/Linky
We moms have to perform many duties and one such duty includes performing surgery on lost body parts on dolls. My daughter hounded me until I fixed this little guy’s nose. After an intense search of fabric glue (remind me to label boxes), surgery was performed and now he is back to new and all […]
Mother’s Day Poem and Alexander McQueen – Best Mother’s Day Gifts
Alexander McQueen, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Homemade breakfast, Mother’s Day Poem and City Crab for dinner, all in one day, now that’s a great Mother’s day.

LEGO Star Wars @FAOSchwarz w/LINKY- Wordless Wednesday
Love Star Wars, LEGO and Toys, that is a triple threat combination that can’t be resisted. While walking by FAO Schwarz my daughter noticed the LEGO store and off we went. I have no idea how long it takes to put these LEGO Star Wars characters but who cares, right. It just too cool for […]
Crank Called by a Second Grader
Teaching your child the basics of where they live, their phone number, what to do if they get lost is standard, right. Well, maybe not. Last summer, my daughter and another girl from camp exchanged phone numbers. I was not even sure my daughter remembered our phone number, well, apparently she does. This again is […]
Embracing Teen Idols Justin Bieber, Miranda Cosgrove, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga
My daughter like her second grade counterparts have the Bieber fever, sing Miley Cyrus songs, love Miranda Cosgrove and every other manufactured Nickelodeon and Disney teen idol.
