So I must apologize for my absence. You see after my last post I received some disturbing messages that, well, really got me upset. It wasn’t from someone responding to my latest posting, it was someone who chose to send me a message anonymously, saying some very disturbing things and involving my kids in their hate message. So as a mom, I went into protection mode. I have no problem when someone responds to my blog, good or bad, everyone… Read More »
So yesterday as I was cruising the social media world I came across many posts about Ryan Gosling and him wanting to save cows! Yes ladies and gentlemen, you read my sentence right…Ryan Gosling wants to save cows! He has teamed up with an animals rights organization to save cows, specifically in the practice of dehorning. So before I go any further, let me state for the record that I feel everyone is entitled to their opinion…that is what makes us unique!… Read More »
So last night I was sitting in front of the computer, apparently the 8 hours a day I have with the one at work is just not enough time with this piece of technology, going over our list of activities for the next few days and syncing all my calendars ….sheep meeting, reports, etc. Oh yeah, don’t forget laundry on that list….who knew you would have to put “laundry” on your schedule? Oh you can laugh, but I bet dime to a… Read More »
Ahhh, it’s Friday! Besides the fact that it is the end of the work week (for most) it’s also International Womens Day. Social media sights are all buzzing with post, pictures and dedications to women; and why not? Women do some pretty amazing things don’t you think? So lets celebrate those women who are the trailblazers, the ones who pave the road for others to follow their dreams. Celebrate the Mom’s, Grandmothers, Aunts and friends who have loved us and… Read More »
I always get a kick out of reading posts on the different social media sites that are day specific, like “Throwback Thursday or Fashion Friday”. So I thought why not make an otherwise boring Monday into something good…so welcome to Memory Monday or I remember when. This is not to disappoint or depress anyone, just to take a little trip down memory lane but also realize what time and change can do to a town. So here we go…. I… Read More »
It’s just about time to get the market lambs for the Sonoma County Fair, something every 4-Her in the county is either in the process of doing or has already secured their lambs with their breeder of choice. And parents of these kids have had this timeline locked into their datebooks since the end of “Sheep Week” last August. It’s not easy picking the lambs let alone the right breeder. It’s important to find that breeder that you and most… Read More »
I have to say that I LOVE Christmas, no really, I love Christmas! Everything from the decorating to baking my Nonna’s biscotti & Grandma Nina’s fudge for my friends. But this year, I have been in a “bah humbug” state of mind as I have had to deal with my own fiscal cliff of sorts….one of the downsides of being a single mom. Two of the coolest elves around made sure the Danger Twins and I had a tree to… Read More »
I’ve got this really great kitchen table. To the untrained eye, it looks like an old table and chairs. Smooth surface, rounded edges on the corners on the table. Each chair looks like the other…but do they? At closer look, you can see the teething marks left by little ones sitting around the table, no doubt due to time sitting in a booster chair coloring or having fishie crackers and milk. Scuff marks on the legs of the table and chairs which… Read More »
I have to say that there is nothing better than sitting down every night at the kitchen table and just talking to one another. For many families, this is something that might never occur due to multiple activities throughout the year. So I truly count my blessings that I can sit down with the kids every night for a meal and a check in! One of my fondest memories growing up was Sunday dinner down in the basement at my grandparents house.… Read More »
It’s that time if year again where you will hear bells ringing outside many of the stores in Sonoma County. It’s Red Kettle time!! Each year, since the Danger Twins joined 4-H, they participate in the annual Red Kettle program through the Salvation Army of Sonoma County. Funds generated through the program help many families in our community through out the year with everything from after school programs to education. This year we started off our holiday season with bell… Read More »
