February 14, 2014 It's Valentine's Day and love is in the air and the below video shows that jealousy is in the air as well, but it's not anywhere near as negative as it might sound. Babies tend to feel a little competition from one parent or the other, especially when one parent shows open affection for the other.
February 5, 2014 I was scrolling my Facebook News Feed this morning and found out that my niece is about to loose her first tooth! YEA! Cool! Facebook is very valuable to me because I live so far away from my loved ones and friends. My FB page allows me to see what they are doing and let them share in a portion of my life. Our pics, videos and status updates help us laugh, cry, pray and live together. But what I didn't realize is how important Facebook is in helping ME stop and remember the memories of my life too.
February 2, 2014 I have said before that I'm not really a cooker but more like a chef. What does that mean? Well, it means I don't cook very much but when I do, I usually try new recipes (which ALWAYS turn out great) or I just make up my own recipe. So, for dessert early this week, I decided to jazz up some chocolate pudding. :-)
January 31, 2014 That is exactly what I asked myself last week when I found out both of my sons had exhausted their lunch account money. I was made aware of this after school the day before going out of town. I immediately went to the both schools and replenished both accounts after asking if they were denied meals that day because they were already short.
January 23, 2014 You know you've done it! You are listening to the radio and you start sing along with, not only the songs, but the ads you hear during the breaks. I do it ALL the time! Unfortunately, so does my husband. No, really, he does. HAHA!
December 23, 2013 The birth of Jesus has always been the major and only reason we celebrate Christmas in my home. I can remember as a child, playing with the nativity scene. I was always fascinated by Mary. The more I learned about her during mass, the more I felt connected to her. With the birth of each of my children, came an even deeper understanding. When I would hear songs or read literature written from her point of view, it always brought me to tears. The Blessed Virgin Mother has carried and helped me through many difficult situations in my life. I rely on her guidance every single day.
I want to share with Mary songs. I love them because they are from HER perspective. They allowed me to better understand her fear, doubt, bravery and love for her son, the son of God, and the rest of the world. May these songs fill you with peace and joy.
December 14, 2013 My kids are too old to fall for the 'Elf on the Shelf' trick. But I know quite a few parents, including my family members, that use the elf to keep their kids well behaved during the days leading up to Christmas.
Although the elf is supposed to keep an eye on your kids for Santa, I found proof that somebody needs to be keeping an eye on HIM!!!
December 12, 2013 Sign language has been a big topic in the news over the last couple of days with the sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela's memorial service being called a fraud. The below video is the exact opposite and might be one of the most touching videos you will see this holiday season.
December 9, 2013 I don't claim to be a parenting expert but, after raising three kids, I have developed a few parenting techniques that have proven successful. These techniques helped my kids see that learning is fun.
November 22, 2013 This video is more powerful and emotional than any full length movie you have ever seen and the story is nothing short of a miracle. This is the story of Little Ward Miles who was born 15 weeks premature and had to overcome unbelievable obstacles to survive and his chances were not good.
November 22, 2013 My birthday was last weekend. I found out a couple of weeks before that I would be spending my birthday in Louisville, Ky. Would I be spending the weekend out of town because of a romantic trip my husband planned? You might even think it was a big party with some of my friends celebrating on Fourth St. No, it wasn't any of those ideas. Although BOTH of those ideas are amazing. (In different ways ;-) It was something even better.
November 3, 2013 Lately, I have been struggling with my upcoming birthday and my career ambition. I didn't start my career in radio until I was 40. Before that, I was a stay at home mom that worked part time as a theatre teacher. When radio came into my life, I suddenly felt as if the world was opening up for me. I felt there was NO limit to what I could do. But, it wasn't long before I became realistic about my career goals.
