Today I was overwhelmed with the feeling that I screwed up again. It’s that moment when you feel heavy, sad and disappointed in yourself and wonder how you could have made the same mistake again. For every lesson I have learned in this life, the one I can’t seem to master is, how to keep…

Are you jealous?
Tiara hasn’t been having as many seizures lately and as a result her speech is improving daily. Yesterday she learned the word jealous and won’t stop asking everyone “are you jealous?” It all started when she gave my mother in law a big hug and looked back at me with a sassy smile. My mother…
Tiara’s stripping has escalated!
As I have mentioned before, Tiara is known to whip off her top if she is in the dress section of a store and see’s something fabulous she must try on immediately. Well, the problem of taking off her clothes has escalated and is now officially considered ” a behavior” that needs to be stopped…
Do you allow your kids to play on their phones during dinner?
I have spent the past few days thinking about this topic and keep going back and forth in mind trying to decide whether my opinion on this scenario is accurate or I’m just be judgmental. Help me decide and let me know what you think because I am sure most of you have a strong…
Today, I did the staring for once!
Sometimes instead of being irritated that people are always staring at Tiara and I, I try to imagine what they are thinking. I wrote a post back in June, “Why is everyone always staring at us” and nothing much has changed since then. Today, I was pulling my car into the handicap spot in front…
Have you heard of “tinder” yet?
Since most of my readers are women with children aged 33-45, most of you probably haven’t heard of tinder, the new iphone app. I just learned about it last week from Tabitha and I thought the whole concept was rather fascinating. Fascinating that people in their late teens, early 20’s spend most of their time connecting…
Do you invite solicitors into your home? I did last night…
Most everyone hates door to door solicitors but I generally feel bad for them, so I always open the door for them. In the past, our dog would go so crazy barking and jumping on the glass, I was always fearful he was going to bite the solicitor. I think they feared for their lives…
Homemade Cinnamon Granola…
Have you ever found the perfect granola? I have not, so one day I decided to make up my own recipe for granola. The only problem with making your own, is you may eat too much because it is so tasty but other than that one small downfall, you will love it. Of course, I…
Life after Bailey’s passing…
Since last Wednesday, it seems as if a lot has changed in our lives. Thursday we all woke up feeling the loss of our dog and I wasn’t quite sure how to help Tabitha through her grieving. She finally made it to work and I decided that I needed to clean out her room because…
RIP Bailey
So it is Thursday morning at 4am and I can’t sleep. I already wrote a post for today and it has been published but I am so sad, I needed to write. Yesterday was the day we had to put Bailey to sleep forever. He hadn’t gone pee since Monday and I knew it was…
