What would your Mom do for a Unicorn?

I feel it’s essential that I set aside materials for the minions to make art, random sketches, or write books on a whim. However. I am a bit concerned… Last month I introduced the girls to an entertaining graphic novel, Phoebe and her Unicorn. Rosa found it too weird and not cute enough for her taste. […]

Living Your Life Travel Tips

Plan less, Travel more

Ever feel like getting everyone out of the house to explore the world is becoming more like a chore? It happens. We get caught up doing the things that we are comfortable with. We started getting too busy to travel. There always seemed to be a reason to stay home… and it was driving me crazy! I […]

The day I finally came clean to my husband…

Honesty is the base of our relationship. So I decided that as we neared our 7th anniversary that I needed to let my partner know the truth. The real truth. There was nothing to do but give it to him straight. “Honey, I am the Good Idea Fairy.” “Noooo, no way am I believing that.” […]

Life Quotes

Let your Light Sparkle ;)

Who has inspired or encouraged you in your life? Did you ever tell them? I am inspired by authentic people (whether I agree with them 100% or not) sharing real moments and feelings. Why? It seems like we live in a society that bullies or tries to destroy any one who is imperfect or portrays […]

I thought you knew me. I thought we had something special…

Dear Amazon and Facebook, Showing me ads of things that I have already ordered OR things that have not yet arrived, is rattling me. The way when we were kids and you would shoot a paper football across the room to get my attention… …but this behavior has me up all hours of the night. I […]

Tokens of Love – A Wink & A Nod

Earlier this week Neko lost a lot of motivation to do any form of journal writing. Hey! I am not looking for perfection over here, but I do need to see some effort. So I asked him if he was interested in making another comic strip. He was excited about that, until I told him […]

Comic Relief

For the better part of a year I have been wanting to share some of our giggles and some of our struggles in a more lighthearted way… Keeping in mind I personally have no artistic talent… and I have no idea where to begin any such talent… So for now I’m testing the idea out at ToonDoo. So […]

The Walls We Build

A couple of weeks before my 10th birthday the Berlin Wall fell. I saw it on the T.V. and asked why so many people peacefully gathered to destroy a wall. I would spend the rest of my life asking why so many people allowed the walls to be built in the first place… And how […]

Flip Flops and the Purple Cat trap

This is a story of 3 dogs and a cat. Who tried to eat me and then welcomed me into their pack. Each day I walked into the room Lucius would over power me and I would have to be rescued by his two legged family members. Then one day he left me alone and […]

Cutting the White Roses Down

Continuing from Simple as a Tea Party … All of it was for nothing. That special circumstance form is useless… they tell me it’s a very slim chance. On the State Department’s website they tell you if the other parent cannot be found to use this form. But it’s a lie. They give you hope and […]
