Do you always get a good night's sleep every night? Or are you like millions of people who simply cannot stop from tossing and turning all night long? I'm a horrible sleeper. I always have been.

Red Lobster Seafood Dinner for Two for only $25! Limited Time Offer (Giveaway ends 5/20/13
I love seafood. I don't think there is a seafood I won't eat, except eel and raw oysters. Eels scare me and raw oysters just look gross and slimy. :-) When I have the opportunity to eat out at a restaurant I always make sure to check out the seafood menu first and foremost. I'm more likely to order a seafood dish more than anything … [More...]

When all your dreams come crashing down
I am beyond devastated right now. I dare not let my husband or children know how I feel. I'm afraid if I start to talk about it I'm going to start balling my eyes out.

Need a cure for a bad day? How about a little “Fuzz Therapy” – or Cockroaches?
It's inevitable. We all have bad days. Some more than others. In fact I'm having an especially stressful day today. No matter how bad your mood is there is usually something that can help eliviate it. Sometimes just blowing off steam helps. Other times a silly joke or a child giggling is enough to melt away your bad day. Often my mood improves … [More...]
And so it begins…
I think we've been pretty lucky up until now. Our almost 16 year old daughter and 13 1/2 year old son are "homebodies" and don't go out much. They don't get into trouble except for typical teenager stuff like being lazy and disrespectful. What I mean by trouble is that they don't break curfew and things along those lines. We haven't had to worry … [More...]
