Fire Fire Everywhere…

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 at 12:22 am

Although I can see the mountains glow from here, it is still miles off in the distance, and we are more than safe…
But it doesn’t stop my heart from breaking to see all the houses and lives that have been destroyed.
Praying and hoping for rain…

I was recently sent a Febreze Candle to try out, and while I LOVE the smell of plain ol Febreze, these candles really blow that scent out of the park. I have always hated how you get these great smelling candles, only to actually light them and the smell just disappears…not with these! Not only [...]


It’s the most wonderful time….

ACK! 70 days ’til Christmas!  Are you making any lists, checking them twice? I am just now starting to think about who’s been naughty (only me, actually…diet who?? ), who’s been nice (a whole lot of people!), and what to tell people who want to give the doods presents (they love books, so I [...]


Thank Goodness it’s Friday…

Friday, October 12th, 2007 at 11:19 am

This has been a tough week…my oldest had to go to the dentist, and it’s a disaster. How can 2 boys, both with the same habits as far as brushing and eating, have totally different teeth?
