I received another touching email forward, and I have to admit that I snopes-ed it because it sounded so fake. It’s the story of Freedom the eagle and her friend Jeff – here is their story: Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as a baby in 1998 with […]
I know I promised to stop whining about my sore mouth, but it’s amazing how little focus I have for other things when I’m not eating – all I can think about is pain and food, but sometimes I think about food and pain. The good news is that today when I woke up, the
As you may have read in my previous post, we took a trip to Illinois to visit with family and also tour the area’s haunted houses. Well, I’m done whining about my painful mouth, so here’s a run-down of the fun parts: Got to visit with lots of family in the short time we were

The flu season is upon us, and it’s obvious. In our family, we are teetering between two outbreaks of illness.

The kids had little bumps on their hands,

My computer since crashed, launching my previous list of bookmarked sites into a cyberspace void. I’ve been trying to find this site again lately, but to
We visited our local zoo this weekend (to feed my zoo addiction, it had been awhile), and when I got home, as usual, I decided to research some of the animals we observed. As I was researching these animals on the internet, I came across some ultra-cute baby animal pics, and I thought I might
Ok, so who had a haunted house in their neighborhood when they were a kid? For us, it was a haunted road located in a Chicago suburb about 15 minutes away from ours. Actually, my group of friends were from a few different area high schools, and we had all heard of Munger Road from

Well, Halloween is just around the corner, and I have yet to pick out a costume. Err, costumes… um, for the kids, of course… Ok, I’m caught – I dress up for Halloween. However, I don’t go all out. I take pride in wearing cool costumes that I can obtain on a shoestring budget. For
Autumn brings about a whole new breed of fun family things to do: pumpkin farms, hay rides, apple picking, playing in the leaves, corn mazes, haunted houses… the list goes on and on. A few weeks ago, during a visit to a local farm which boasts such fun fall activities as a corn maze, petting
