Magic Carpets and Courage Buckets
November 15, 2010 – 8:25 am
There are some things I just really enjoy: Having a purring kitty on my lap Eating frosting with a spoon When someone holds a door open The other day, while babysitting a friend’s child, we took a walk to the nearest Starbucks and as I negotiated my way out the door, with stroller and drink in [...]
The Audacity of Death and Cats
September 8, 2010 – 7:05 am
In honor of my birthday I would like to write about death. Not death in general but one particular death that took place during my birthday party two years ago. Punkydoodles, one of my beloved cats, had the audacity to die during my party! I won’t go into a lot of back story but there [...]
The Floating Thank You

A few weeks ago I helped put together a gratitude dinner a friend was hosting. She has a great food blog Renaissance Mamas and let Erin and I do the decorating while she whipped up deliciousness in the kitchen. I got fixated on creating a sign that looked like it was floating over the amazing [...]
SURPRISE!
July 23, 2010 – 12:00 pm
The email said “If you can come at 12:20 tomorrow we have a little surprise…”. I LOVE surprises! If the Devil himself sent me this message I would arrive at his hellish door by 12:20 to see what would happen. (note to Devil – you’ve got a live one here) Fortunately it was my friend [...]

Last weekend I had the opportunity to drive up to a fantastic women’s retreat being lead by a dear friend Heidi. It was about a five-hour drive up into the mountains of northern california and fortunately another dear friend Erin was driving with me. And as if that wasn’t good enough, it was her birthday! [...]
Dear Perfect Day
May 25, 2010 – 8:48 am
Dear Perfect Day, Wow, you really got me! This last sunday was sneaky. I wasn’t expecting such a great day and I think that is probably why it was so great. I just loved the flow of training to be a Warrior in the morning which rolled into an extended lunch and then an impromptu tea party in [...]
Mohawks and Gold Teeth
May 12, 2010 – 10:28 pm
It was a cool morning on the playground – Little Bat and I almost had the place to ourselves… except for two other guys. One looked to be about 19 years old and a gang banger type and the other looked about 3 – but a tough 3. The little guy had a wicked tall [...]
