To you new people out there—his name isn’t really Bert.
I’ve been working on this one since yesterday. Somewhere in there I aged him a bit, I think. This is by far the best one I’ve done, I think. I’m very happy with it. I don’t like his reflection, so I might have to [...]

Amber Alert—JOZ has been missing…
I’ve been taking a blogging break.

I was not cut out for once a week blogging, it seems.
I love my blog,
and I will continue to blog…

Weight update:
I’m getting heavier…
While I would normally not like this result, I am realizing that it is occurring because my muscles are getting bigger. My tummy is getting smaller, but my quads, biceps, triceps and neck muscles are all bigger. I can work with this. It just means I will always be a size 6-8…never any [...]

April Fools Memories…Kiss Concerts…And Tales of Vegas Bets of Engagement
One night, we were staying at the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Actually this was the first of many trips with my then boyfriend. I had turned 21 that year and we decided to take a FunJet Vacation and hit the casinos. We were both in college then and had been dating since [...]

More about “Buh” Cream
I was looking back at some old posts and realized that my youngest son has been on his “buh cream” kick for almost a year. Knowing this makes it obvious that this is pretty important stuff to him. I figured I would put the word out on how awesome this product is!

“Mama” is my Name…
We have a neighborhood cafe that we frequent about every other week. We really enjoy going to this place because we can always get a table, their food is good (although they never seem to have avacados–after 3 years I have never successfully ordered them even though they are on the menu), and their servers [...]

Slowing down (or maybe just organizing my time better?)
As an update to This post, I have decided to take a little more time to stop and smell the roses (on Mon, Wed and Fri-that is). If you have read this blog for a little while, or if you know me, then you know that I MUST ALWAYS have a plan. It bothers me [...]

I have to admit that as a stay at home mom, I don’t get out of the house much. I have struggled with wondering if I spend too much time on the internet, but I have decided that it is part of my social connection with the real world, and as long as it doesn’t [...]
