Missing You

We’ve been running around all day. We had a blast, but we barely had a chance to sit down and breathe. By the time we finally got home Logan went straight to his dad’s, which was fine because I had a lot of cleaning to catch up on from the last couple of days. I ran from one thing to the next trying to hurry and get everything done before my little munchkin got home. As we were sitting in bed reading bedtime stories tonight he said, “Mommy, when I’m at Dad’s I miss you.” My little heart melted and … Continue reading →

Teach Kids About Stranger Danger

It seems like every time we turn on the news we hear about another Amber Alert for a child that has been taken. It has been said that nearly 800,000 children are reported missing each and every year. These alarming statistics make me want to hold my son just a little bit tighter each night. It makes me never want my son out of my sight. This week we had an interesting experience that gave me the opportunity to teach my son about stranger danger yet again. We were eating lunch at the mall with some good friends of mine. … Continue reading →

Lohan Calls Out Bynes in a Tweet

Call it a case of Disney vs. Nickelodeon, even if on the smallest of scales. Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes, most famous for “All That” and “The Amanda Show,” has had multiple run-ins with the police lately. The 26-year-old sideswiped a police car of all things on April 6th. She was released but later charged with DUI for refusing a breathalyzer test. Then, April 10th, she was involved in a hit-and-run. On August 4th, she rear-ended another motorist. She stopped briefly, but I guess thinking there was no damage, she left. But, there was damage and it turned out to … Continue reading →

Missing Pages

I started working on Logan’s scrapbook again tonight. I’ve taken a year and a half hiatus because the page I had ended on happened to be of Logan and his dad. After the divorce it was just too painful to go back to those pictures of how things were supposed to be. I was still so hurt by everything that he had done that I couldn’t bear to look at that picture. I needed some time to heal before I could return to this project I had once been so fond of. As I was looking through these pictures tonight … Continue reading →

Missing Your Spouse, Even When They’re Around

Do you miss your spouse when he or she is around? I have on occasion found myself telling Jonathan that I miss him, even when he’s sitting right in front of me. Usually I say this in response to his having to leave for a day or so for work. Sometimes I even do it when he has to take a rare night shift, which I know is crazy. On those days I’m actually getting to see more of him than I would on a normal day, because he’s home in the morning, leaves at 3 pm, and is back … Continue reading →

Books About the Genealogy of the First Ladies

Posted on by

This is an election year, and we have been hearing a lot of news that talks about the genealogy of various candidates and political figures. What we don’t hear as much about is the family tree, or genealogy, of the women who are, or were, a First Lady. There are plenty of books out, right now, that will tell you more about the lives of these important women. Michelle Obama is the current First Lady. You probably have heard about her efforts to get children to eat healthier, and to engage in more frequent physical activity. Genealogists might be interested … Continue reading →

Organizing Grad Layouts

Most graduation ceremonies are over and the members of the Class of 2012 have moved on to the next chapters of their lives. However, before your grad celebrates yet another major milestone, it might be a good idea to put the finishing touches on his or her commencement-themed scrapbook. Now is the time to collect mementos you want to feature in the album, or at least figure out alternative ways to include special items, such as a class ring. Memorabilia like class rings or graduation gowns are difficult to add to page designs; however, you can still make them part … Continue reading →

Nick Stahl has gone missing. The actor, who played John Connor in Terminator 3, was reported missing by his estranged wife, Rose Murphy. Murphy told LAPD that she hadn’t seen Stahl since May 9th.
