Why Mr. Rogers And I Have No Problem With Cinderella – 1000Speak
I grew up with Mr. Rogers. And I am not ashamed to to tell you that the gray in my hair means I watched his show back when there was no gray in his. I loved Mr. Rogers. I loved everything about his show from his silly opening song to his cardigan sweater and sneakers to the…

FTSF – It’s Not Easy Eating Green
When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, I don’t have much to say on the topic. My Daughter, however, has a bit of an opinion – YUCK! It’s not the holiday she has a problem with. It’s the green. When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, all the food is green. Green milkshakes. Green candy. Green…

TToT – The Dance of the SGV
I need to go lie down. Seriously. I was on my way out the door to Zilla’s school to volunteer in the library today and all of a sudden…sick. Blah. Not the best way to start off a list of thankfuls, is it? But let’s go with that for a second.

FTSF – The Memory That Haunts Me
The memory that haunts me is the one I do not have. My memories don’t haunt me. I do not live my life with regrets. OK, maybe if pressed for something I would change, I’ll admit that I probably should have stuck with the piano lessons and taken better care of my teeth. I don’t…

Once Upon a Year or Two Ago
Sometimes it’s nice to take a look at where we’ve been. Every now and then I take a look through photo albums, old letters, piles of filing in my office that need to be handled…but I haven’t done much backward observation here on my blog. Today’s as good a day as any, so come along…

Conversations with Kidzilla – Beer and Books
I love listening to my daughter talk. OK, that’s not always true. Sometimes Kidzilla starts speaking the moment her eyes open in the morning and she doesn’t stop until her eyes close again at night. And even then, sometimes she keeps right on going. On those days, it’s a bit much sensory input for my…

TToT – The One in Which I Tell You All of the Things
The Internet swallowed me. It seriously did. I hopped on the social media bandwagon and then…overwhelm. So many people – so many good people – to meet. And so many really amazing things to read. I couldn’t keep up. So I buried my head in the sand, stepped back, and said “whoa.” I am truly…

FTSF – Epic Diaper Fail: A Babyzilla Story
When the timing is right to jump into something, you know. Sometimes you just need the right combination of factors to fall into place together to make you say, “OK, it’s time to try this.” I have been reading posts here and there that link up to Finish the Sentence Friday, currently hosted at my…

1000 Voices Speak for Compassion
In a million years, I never thought I would be part of something like this. I was never a joiner. I didn’t belong to a whole lot of clubs in school. I didn’t run for student council. I was just sort of quietly part of my one or two things, did them with gusto, stayed…

TToT – Running Smoothly
Well, I think we may finally be up and running smoothly for the year. Even with a snow day Monday and Kidzilla home not feeling well Tuesday, the regular routine seems to be in place once again. And maybe even with some improvements in the works – who knows? I’m excited to get this list…
