20 Wonderful Years!

I‘m sitting in my office. It’s a beautiful morning, and the birds are singing and a cool breeze is floating into the room. I looked at the window and could see the dappled light filtering in and hitting the floor as little pieces of sun light sparkles on all the edges of the glass window…

Throwback Thursday- When Emma Fit in Luggage

Today I’m remembering the day I saw Amanda, my middle daughter, walk outside with Emma in her backpack. I started laughing so hard I almost wet my pants. I had tears flowing from my eyes. I still have no idea what ever possessed the two of them to put Emma in the backpack in the…

This was Emma’s last week in elementary school! She finished fifth grade and is officially moving up into junior high next year.

Sweet Valentine!

As I’ve said before, I LOVE Valentine’s Day! I love the color and sparkle, and hearts! I’ve never really had any Valentine’s decorations though. Last year, Emma and I decided to make some decorations that we could just throw around the house. We went through all my old scrapbooking papers and pulled many, pinks, reds…

M.Z., My Youngest Daughter

I have three daughters. Emma is my youngest, and she is the only one who still lives at home. When I had Emma I was 38 years old. I never once worried about my age until she was a baby when all of the sudden it hit me that I was old and she was…

Weekend Loss

I had a really long post written in detail explaining everything that happened to us this weekend. I’ve decided to cut to the chase and give you the Reader’s Digest version. Friday night Pip, one of our new guinea pigs, died in Emma’s hands. We believe she must have been ill when we bought her.…
