NEED A VACATION FROM MY VACATION September 30, 2008

Hi!
I’m back from Florida and trying to get back into the swing of things.
We had a great trip! 
It was so much fun getting a break from work and chores.   But I have to tell you,  when you have a 1 and 4-year old with you… I realized it’s not really a vacation.  It’s more like a [...]

INSTANT STRESS RELIEVER September 19, 2008

Before I leave for my vacation… there’s been something I’ve been meaning to write about.
You know I always talk about how crazed I am with the boys, work… and pretty much life in general.  Well, I know you are too.
But there’s something that’s really helped me lately. 
Don’t laugh!!  It’s kind of cheesy. 
It is.  But I love it.
Okay, well [...]

FLORIDA BOUND September 18, 2008

I almost feel guilty saying this…. because I know so many of you are probably still in the dark with your yards torn apart by all of the wind damage… but I’m getting so excited for our family vacation.
I’m leaving on Friday and will be gone for a whole week! 
YIPPEE!!  HOORAY!  I’M OUT OF HERE!
It can’t come [...]

SURVIVE THE STORM? September 16, 2008

Did you get a lot of storm damage?
I hope not.  But I have a feeling that many of you have no Internet access and won’t be logging on for days because all you’re doing is cleaning up.
If that’s you…. and when you finally read this… sorry.  That’s such a bummer. 
And for those of you who do [...]

HALLOWEEN HUNTING September 12, 2008

We’re on the hunt for Halloween costumes.  That’s the plan for this weekend anyway.
Today Connor wants to be a bat.  Not Batman.  Not a Vampire.  Just a bat. 
UGH! 
Why did I think he’d be 8 or so before I wouldn’t be the one picking out his costume?   I want him to still be something cute and adorable.
He [...]

BIRTHDAY SURPRISE September 12, 2008

Hello there!
I know it’s been a few days.. but I wanted to tell you how that benefit went on Sunday.
The turn out was great!  More than 50-thousand dollars was raised.  And so many more businesses are donating products and services!  So, it looks like it’s only a matter of time before the Ingle’s (the family who [...]

HAVE SUNDAY PLANS? September 5, 2008

I know if you’re anything like the men in my life you’ll be spending this Sunday watching football all day and night.
But if you’re looking for something to do… Come meet me and support a good cause!
I’m hosting this weekend.  A few weeks ago I told you about a story I did about a family, The Ingles,  who [...]

SURVIVED THE FIREWORKS September 3, 2008

I survived the Fireworks! 
I hope you got to see them in person or on 5 and had a good Labor Day too.
Thank so much to all of you who emailed me about the Fireworks and our Special “Dateline Cincinnati”.  I got a lot of emails.  I’m sorry it’s so hard to respond to this blog.   A [...]
