I’m not one that usually falls for ads. Really, I’m not. But this past Christmas my husband asked me if I had seen JCPenney’s new campaign called, “Beware of the Doghouse.” I hadn’t. He told me it was one of the funniest videos he had ever seen. Not to mention (sorry, honey) just how true it is. If you haven’t [...]

I took my mom out to lunch today. We went to one of her favorite lunch places… Panera. Just the two of us. We sat at a nice cozy table for 2 and talked and talked as we ate our identical Asian Chicken Salads, both with multi-grain bread and dressing on the side. And water… tap. It is a warm, [...]

Audrey doesn’t have any pets of her own (she has 4 boys, 4 and under – she is plenty busy!). So one of the things I pride myself on as her boys’ Auntie is giving them an appreciation for dogs. Her boys see my dogs nearly every day. They have become a part of their lives. They know to be [...]

Two dancing butterflies.  Two playful birds. A purple balloon.  A yellow balloon.  A pink balloon. A star. Special stories that have created our earthly bonds with heaven… and the angels who watch over us. Precious tangible things that mean so much to us. Our angels are always around us.  Near us.  With us.  They live in our hearts and they [...]

My mother… God love her, but she wore a pair of my Donna Karan black strappy heels to a wedding this past weekend and scuffed them up! Scuffs all over the right heel – and a few on the left. Mom, what kind of dancing were you doing!? BUT, have NO fear. I fixed the scuff marks fast and easy [...]
