She’ll always be my baby.
But this baby just got news that she’s received a full academic scholarship to the college she’ll be attending. 
It’s been a wonderful ride. Can’t wait to see what’s around the next bend! : )… Read More
You guys know that I’m a little bit of a nut about safety. Especially when my daughter is involved. So when I was offered a chance to try out this Powerocks portable battery charger in exchange for an honest review, I agreed. Nobody has to ask me twice to test a cool new gadget. : )
Don’t you just love it when a product is useful, portable, easy to use, and does what it says it will do! This little … Read More
With the holidays fast approaching, I’m starting to dig through favorite recipes to get a jump on some of the cooking.
While it’s true that my cookbook tastes lean toward the East, as in Middle Eastern, Indian, Japanese… I do have my old American standbys for everyday and not-so-everyday dishes.
For instance, I still have this Betty Crocker cookbook my parents gave me when I moved into my first apartment waaaay back when.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I … Read More
I was recently invited to speak on a Tech subject.

Like maybe that I’m the only woman in the entire group? (Actually there was one other woman there who took the photo.)
And this has been true for practically any tech gathering that I’ve been to!
Calling all women! We need to start making our voices … Read More
What do five Border Collies do when they’re not working sheep? Well, they make their own entertainment … This just cracks me up!

She asked me to get 30 pea seeds to grow so that she can then see how they fare with various amounts of water everyday. As you can see, she has 6 groups of 5 plants that she will be summarily stunting to various degrees by over or … Read More
I especially love the fall for its brisk air and special kind of light.
And I especially hate it because of having to turn the clocks back. That’s because this guy has no concept of daylight savings time!
I don’t mind having learned to become an early riser to make sure Graidy can get himself outside at the crack of dawn. But I do mind having to now get up at what feels like the crack of the-middle-of-the-night. Two weeks … Read More
A dog-loving friend sent me this photo of her Halloweenie dogs.
I also get pictures of them in Christmas costumes. This friend doesn’t have 2-legged children, so her dogs fill some of that role. Any dog would be lucky to call her their dog mom. What she accomplishes with her rescue pups is truly amazing!
While I always get a giggle out of her photos, I’ve never thought about dressing up any of my dogs. So I’m curious–
Do you … Read More
