I am 55 and overweight and kinda angry
You read the headline. You may feel my pain. (If you can’t relate, please email me and let me know how you are doing it!) To be clear: I am not pushing maximum density—yet. But my BMI is high (still not convinced that is a legit concern) and my jeans are becoming tighter at the […]
Don’t let tragedy strike–check your toy chests
This news article made me cringe. A Florida family lost their 4-year-old twins in a tragic accident that could happen to any family. The gist of the story is the parents put their children to bed. At some point during the night, the twins woke up and decided to play in their room—something that happened […]
Adventures at Nana Camp: The Battle of the Blue Sippy Cup
Three of the grands spent a couple weeks with us this summer. This is one of the many camp stories! It all started innocently at breakfast. The Princess and Hot Rod were at the table awaiting their morning meal. I handed them their plates with Sunday morning’s continental breakfast of yogurt, blueberry muffins and orange […]
A sign of the times
I stopped by the grocery store last evening to pick up a few things. A “few things” turned into a half a cartload and I was at one of those discount grocers where you rent a 25-cent cart and bring your own bags. Fortunately, I keep my bags in my car. Unfortunately, in my haste […]
“I wonder … What if? … Let’s try!”

Chuck Lorre got it right
If you’ve ever watched “Young Sheldon,” “The Big Bang Theory,” Two and a Half Men,” “Mom” or “Dharma & Greg,” you probably know the name Chuck Lorre and may have even hit “pause” to read the vanity cards that appear at the end of many of his shows. Or maybe you haven’t and I’m the […]
I Just Needed a Few Things…
I recently made a quick stop at the grocery store with my 1-year-old granddaughter. Wait, I just lied. My bad. It was not a quick stop, although that was the plan. I had forgotten how much thought and/or planning picking up “just a few items” requires. First, there’s the decision of whether to take her […]
<strong>What’s in a name?</strong>
So, you’re a grandparent (or about to become a grandparent). YAY!! There are so many things to look forward to! You’ve raised your children and now you get the benefits of the hugs and giggles, without the responsibility of middle-of-the-night feedings, the toddler tantrums and the dreaded teen years. You may think you know all […]
