Yes, my fat cat does yoga!
January 20, 2011 By
One of my favorite pictures of our fat cat, Tucker. I think he was hinting to me that I need to do yoga. He’s right and he makes me smile and laugh. We adopted him three years ago from the pound and he has been such a good pet for us, this funny feline of mine!
Good 3TV segment about me time for moms!
January 19, 2011 By
Yesterday while doing my weekly Channel 3 segment, the producers asked me to sit in with the Mom Squad to discuss me time for moms. Good discussion with some funny moments, too! Watch the segment here…. http://www.facebook.com/YourLifeAtoZ#!/video/video.php?v=1512249137353&oid=65115878424&comments
Manic morning update!
January 19, 2011 By
Read the post before this one first about how my mornings have been more manic than managed lately! Then read this one. Ok, now that you read that one, I have good news that I want to share with all of you manic morning parents out there (surely I’m not the only one?!). This morning […]
My not so managed mornings!
January 18, 2011 By
If I going to call this blog manic managed mom, then I better be honest about my recent manic mornings! This manic managed mom hasn’t been as managed in the mornings lately. In fact the manic, but managed morning rush has been more manic since the holidays. But I can’t blame the sunrise because the […]
Great get organized tool
January 17, 2011 By
Since the kids go back to school tomorrow after the 3-day MLK weekend, it finally feels like the holidays are over. So my house is slowly, but surely, being put back in order. One item I found a few months ago that continues to cut our clutter is a cool tool called the Allamalla Wall Basket. It sells […]
Anniversary blessings
January 17, 2011 By
Wow. Last week I was thinking that our 18th wedding anniversary was still two weeks away because I couldn’t believe that it is already mid-January. I don’t know why that surprises me when I think about how time flies. How is it possible that I met my husband on a blind date back in the […]
Fat Cat Sits on Slim Cat!
January 16, 2011 By
Just 20 minutes before this picture was taken, I heard my felines fighting with each other. So I went to check on them and was happy to see that they made up. I wasn’t surprised that they were sitting together, but I was shocked to see that our fat cat, Tucker was happily sitting on […]
The girl that keeps on giving
January 15, 2011 By
Last Saturday’s youngest victim in Tucson, 9-year-old Christina Green, is the girl that keeps on giving. And her gift today really grabs my heart because she did the same thing my late brother did after his sudden and unexpected passing. She gave her organs. AOL news reports that a little girl in Boston will now […]
Parmesan chicken made easy!
January 14, 2011 By
One dish that my family loves is parmesan chicken, so it is always appreciated when I make my stepmother’s version that calls for flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, egg and more. That one is pretty easy, but I was thrilled to find the same dish in a recipe that only requires four ingredients! The trick is in a simple […]
Healthy never tasted so good!
January 13, 2011 By
Two words enhanced my life last year. Those words are Pomegranate Cafe! If you haven’t tried the all natural and organic eatery on 40th Street and Chandler Blvd. in Ahwatukee, then you are missing out. I recommend this place big-time! My mother raised me on super healthy foods and this was back before organic and […]
Tucson thoughts for today & for our children
January 12, 2011 By
Prayers for peaceful memorials in Tucson today. May the families and friends of the victims feel our support from folks that don’t them personally, but are grieving with them from miles away. And be with our children as we parents search for answers to their confused questions and comfort for their fear. Our children feel […]
A Resolution Release
January 12, 2011 By
With all this talk about New Years resolutions, here is a thought. How about resolutions about stuff that we should let go of instead of concentrating on all of the goals that we want to take on?! With the Tucson tragedy, I am reminded of the stuff that really matters…family and that hot commodity called time […]
My most requested recipe: easy pleasing pot pie!
January 11, 2011 By
Both my kids cheered when I told them that I was making pot pie for dinner. Easy and pleasing, this is a recipe that my neighbor gave me years ago. Not only does my family appreciate my chicken pot pie, but it is the perfect plate to bring to new moms or someone in need […]
Loss for words
January 10, 2011 By
My friends and family will tell you that I am not someone who can’t think of words to say or to write. In fact, when I was a toddler, my mom tells me that folks couldn’t understand me, so she took me to the doctor and was told that my tongue was too big for […]
