Just A Mom
Sometimes there are conversations that you are a part of or overhear that leave you thinking about them for days. Last week I was sitting in the children’s section of my local Library with my toddler Anneliese.

All I Need to Know In Life I Learned From Musicals
I might have been a strange kid, but some of my earliest TV/movie memories are of musicals.The thrill of watching Rodgers and Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber and more filled my little heart with happiness.

When Magic Happens
My family lives in Southern Arizona. Winters here are typically sunny, beautiful and clear with average temperatures ranging in the 70’s. On New Year’s Eve a storm blew in that brought cold and rainy weather. It also brought something else. Snow! This isn’t something that happens on a regular basis here so we bundled up the older children (we left …

Welcome to a new Man- day post from Jensguy! OK, In going back to Jennifer’s List of Songs That Need to be Retired, she forgot to list one of the most schmaltzy tunes we have to deal with during the Holidays, the insipid “My Grown-Up Christmas List.” I’m picking on Amy Grant because I love her and owned ALL of …
