This past Saturday morning Tiara had a big surprise. Avalon, a 6th grader at Newport Heights Elementary, my Alma mater, came over to our house with her Mom, Gina and brought with them boxes and boxes and boxes of crayons. WOW! Tiara was so excited she kept saying “thank you, thank you, your welcome,…

I had quite the scare today!
Today was one of those days where everything didn’t go exactly wrong, but just different than I planned. Tiara and I usually walk with a friend on Wednesdays but this morning I had an early auction meeting for the school at 8:15am. My plan was to do Tiara’s medicine a little early and bring…
Just when I thought it was getting better, everything went back to normal
So, I have to say this weekend, which I was dreading, turned out to have some really surprising high points. Trinity and I took Tiara to Target and the market on Friday, two public places in one day, is really pushing it, and at both places, she actually walked, wasn’t in her wheelchair, and…
Are you excited for the first day of school?
Normally, I would be so thrilled for the first day of school, the return to a solid routine, but I am not sure I am so excited about the routine. For starters Trinity’s first week of school, isn’t really a full week of school. They go from 8 until noon, Why? I have…
Were you ever bullied in school?
I was bullied a little in 5th and 7th grade and now that Trinity is getting ready to start 5th grade next week I was thinking back to those times. Not great memories, but they probably serve a purpose in helping me guide my girls through all the junk kids endure at school. …
Have you ever had to rescue someone at the beach?
So today a near miracle occurred. Lou had the day off, and we have a new caretaker who just started, provided by the Regional Center, who is really eager to learn but still very green. With that in mind, Lou took Trinity to beach volleyball camp, I took Tiara for a walk and then…
How many 10 year old entepreneur’s do you know?
Well, I know one, and he is my nephew, Indiana. Indiana is always looking for a way to make money. He first started his own jewelry line for boys a few years back soon after my sister, his mom, started a jewelry business. He then moved on to making cards and selling them to…
Thinking it is who you know…
I know, sorry, but no journey with Tiara today. I wrote this post last week and forgot about it. Because I am hosting another dinner for 15 people tonight, ( my mother in laws birthday) and am totally overwhelmed as usual, I decided to make my life easy and post this instead of dredging…
A great day in more than one way…
First of all today was our yearly birthday celebration for my 2 nephews and one niece. Since they have been old enough to go on rides Lou has taken them every August to an amusement park or the fair for their combined birthday present. We started this tradition about 5 years ago and it…
Have you ever meet someone who instantly made you feel at peace?
As you all know I am not out socializing or meeting new people very often, but today I had the chance to meet a very special person and her presence has stayed with me all day. A few days after school let out for the summer, Trinity’s 5th grade teacher contacted everyone in the…
