Hair Cut Night Was Last Week

I am lucky that I have a long time family friend {may as well call her family} that comes to my house to cut the hairs off the heads of my kids and me. She is affordable, convenient and a great person to have for company when I am around kids all damn day. I try not to keep her too long with my rambling, but it’s hard some times. This past week I had plans for her to cut my hair and the boys hair. I dyed my hair a long time ago and am trying hard to let my hair grow out the orange/yellow that I dyed my hair in hopes for some cool blonde highlights in this black head of hair I have. So that is my …

Whatever the reasons, I firmly believe we all have that “favorite” parent and my kids are no exception. The older two kids pick and choose, having moments in their lives when they favor Dad over me or me over Dad. There isn’t really a rhyme nor reason to it, it’s just how it is. And that is okay. The youngest, however, is a Daddy’s boy big time. That is by far his favorite parent. It’s …

My Personal Mantra and How I Keep With It Even During Holidays

The holiday season is upon us and some may have forgotten our manners so to speak, many people buzzing by you at the grocery store, others just racing to be first for the best deal ever. Why is it during what is suppose to the most “wonderful time of year” that everyone turns mean, rude and dare I say a bit crazy? I get that the holiday season brings on added stress to some, while others are mourning the loss of family members they won’t see seated at the table this year. It can be a gloomy time for others, even if you have learned to keep up the holiday cheer. I personally try to live with holiday cheer all year round and even though I consider that to be …
