As the kids and I buckled up and headed down the road in search of food to fill our bellies, my son says to me from the back seat, “Mom, you know what I do when I want to feel happy?” I’m a little surprised by the topic and am unsure where it came from,…
Holidays. They’re a time for family and friends. A time when we come together with the ones we love. But as much as we like to paint a pretty picture of the date from afar, up close, many people are dealing with a much different reality. It could be you or someone you know. It’s…
Who wants to live forever? Raise your hand. What if there was an instrument that could grant this ability without the downside of say – vampirism? Would you be tempted? This is one modern interpretation of the Holy Grail as seen in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. And let’s face it, one…
Do you keep domesticated or wild animals in your home? If you do, you know they require a lot of care. In our household we have the ultimate in wild, untamed things – the Monkey! She is unpredictable to say the least. In caring for your monkey you must always provide a good environment. In…
It has been a very busy and exciting week at my house. My daughter, Monkey, is Super Star at school for the entire week! She’s extremely thrilled to be sharing all about herself and her family with her entire class. We made a life size painting of her over the weekend and surrounded it with pictures…
We’ve been mixing it up the past few weeks on Immortal Monday. As a result, I thought we’d take it back to its roots this week and throw around a little gossip coffee talk about a fan favorite, the swoon worthy immortals of Sunnydale. We have the ever amazing slayer, Buffy Summers, to thank for…

And so another work week begins, which means it’s Immortal Monday yet again. But before we begin I’d like to direct your attention to the big birthday bash Ms. Samantha Warren is holding in the form of a blog scavenger hunt. This blog is participating in the event all week-long. Please skip over here and…
We huddle in a tight cluster as crisp wisps of air swirl around us, sending a shiver through my bones. Pulling my jacket tight around me, I attempt to fight off the evening chill. We are all waiting for Sam to pass out the list for tonight’s event. It’s our semi-annual scavenger hunt and this…
Are you in a frenzy, tumbling out of one holiday straight into the next? We have the big company party (and I am talking BIG! When the new CEO stepped into office at Activision last year he showed this group how to throw a serious bash. – DANG!), tons of kid and traditional activities to check…
Growing up I heard it a million times – we grow up to become our parents. Well not me, no way! I wasn’t going to let that happen. I refused to become a carbon copy. Put my foot down to the very thought. I was different, I would break the mold! Of course, I never…
Steering away from book inspired immortals on today’s Immortal Monday, let’s throw something else on the coffee table. Try not to spill the venti though, okay? How much do you really know about the gods? When I mentioned this idea to my husband, he thought it would be tired. Done and overdone! What say you?…
