Today is one of those days. The kind of day where you roll down the windows. Spring is in the air. The ground smells warm. The snow is only in spots…ahhhh! Just for a moment, I had a high school flashback. Instead of driving the mom van with a car seat in the back, I was in my 1982 Honda Civic …
Tight is not sexy
Why do we need to be sexy anyway? Sexy is a label given to us by “society.” I would rather be beautiful…but that is a post for another time! I was driving to work this morning and I saw a young lady walking like she had Barbie legs….you know the ones I mean. From the 50’s. The old kind that …

Do you have a little girl that loves unicorns? I have one. We have her gotcha party (a celebration of her adoption date) coming up in the spring and she wanted a unicorn theme.

The day we broke the camp nurse…
I spent many years running the waterfront at a summer camp in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Camp is camp. Kids are active. Kids are busy. Things happen. For such as those times we always had a camp nurse on staff. Nurses would usually come for a week or two at a time. Most often they would be there …
