It was such an exciting game and they really wanted to win this one. Kelly took an interest in basketball last spring when her friend Lauren was showing her some [...]

Their troop wore their Halloween costumes and Kelly tied for first place in her age group. Then on Wednesday, she came down with an awful cold. By Thursday, I had [...]

It felt so good to get outside yesterday and see the neighbors. I started the day by running to the post office and library. Then came home and took Jazz for a walk around the pond. She was so excited to be going for a walk that I had to keep her on a short [...]

Brrr…something is terribly wrong with our weather these days. It feels like November and it should be October. Temps should be 60 degrees, not 40! Other than the weather being lousy, I had a good week. The kids at school have been very cooperative lately and even my little kindergartener has turned it around. Every morning, I continue [...]
