I spent yesterday morning chaperoning a field trip with both munchkins to watch “Beauty and the Beast” at our local community college. As expected for a Disney-related play, it was equal parts scary and sweet. Poor C ended up sitting on my lap for most of the show because the Beast had some anger management issues after

I watched “War Room” this week with my mom and sister (at my mom’s request for her birthday girl’s only hangout). It was a good movie with fairly good acting, funny and touching moments, and above all, a good message. I came away with two reminders: one, that prayer is powerful and it works(!), and two,

It’s been raining a lot here in California, and with the wetness comes a lot of allergies. I’m not sure what was in the air yesterday, but I was sneezing almost non-stop. By the end of the evening, C said my face looked burnt, and I was ready to crawl into bed and hibernate. I

Falling in love is easy, wouldn’t you agree? Boy meets girl; boy asks girl out; girl is late for their date by an hour (and couldn’t call because these were pre-cell phone days, so boy waited patiently and may or may not have had to take care of some business in the bushes – thank

Have you ever considered how much movie lines stick in your head long after you’ve watched a film? Let me throw out a few to get your gears turning. “I love you. You complete me.” “Don’t forget I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” “As you wish.” “I’m

The other morning C turned to me and announced, “I think I’m going to marry T.” My immediate reaction was, “Why do you want to marry T?” “Because he’s silly. And he has a round head.” Ahh… I see. In previous conversations with my 5 year old munchkin, she had stated that she wants to marry

Hubby and I are attending a wedding this weekend, and two thoughts come to mind – YAY for our friends, and awww, it’s going to be a big mush-fest. Don’t you just enjoy seeing couples getting hitched?
