Five Lessons Every Kid Should Learn

Once again, Twittermoms is inspiring me to blog. It’s funny because this couldn’t have come at a better time. I sound like a broken record but I am expecting my 2nd son next month and something I have thought about extensively since my first son was born, is all the very important lessons he needs to learn before he flies the coop here at home, even if that is 18 years from now. Yes, I…

I took that advice before my son was born. One of my favorite songs of all time happens to be Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. I made sure to play it often, and of course I…

So Much Drama, So Little Time

I have so much that I’d like to say but I have to do it without being specific, else someone may cry. Or not.. because I blocked that person from my blog (I hope). Last week I wrote the first ever post about my husband, who I have been happily and not so happily married to for 5 years. Why do I say not-so-happily?
