I know you can pay for a WordPress email, but I really didn't want to do that. I have … Continue reading New Contact Info →

Moo! Baa! Shut Up!

Every once in a while, I just have to share a story in my blog so that I can go back and read it later and laugh. Ella LOVES to sing. She has quite the catalog of songs that she knows. It is not rare for her to lay down for bed at naptime or … Continue reading Moo! Baa! Shut Up! →

A Brief Soapbox Rant

"Beyoncé has made GRAMMY history. Her win for Best Dance/Electronic Album for 'RENAISSANCE' put her GRAMMY total at 32, the most of all time.
