A few months back, I threw my sister a baby shower. I’m showing off this is the hand-sewn quilt I made for the Kid. Well, logic would follow that several months later, a little person has since emerged. So off I went to Boston to meet him for the first time. Bostonians are a loyal [...]
I love Sundays, but it was a wet Sunday yesterday and I was in no mood to cook. But when I saw those cute faces up from their naps, I could not afford to be lazy. So to make sure that I indulge my laziness (I am sure I am allowed that sometime) yet feed [...]

Well, along with being a big tennis fan, I also have a great love and appreciation for the “beautiful game” of football (also known as soccer).
I’m addicted. To blood. To True Blood. Yes, the HBO show about vampires. Now I’m not a usual vampire fan - but this could possibly be one of the best shows out there.
