Mickey & Minnie Took Us on a Magical Journey

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse on IceI got an unexpected call mid week offering me a four pack of tickets for me to take my family to enjoy the show and I was both excited and apprehensive about the opportunity.  While it had been years since I had seen an ice skating show live myself I would love to share this experience with my children.  I was not sure my mohawk-wearing, Metallica-loving,  Dungeons and Dragons playing, X-Box 360 boys would be willing to endure a night of Mickey and Minnie Mouse with their dear old mom and dad.

Choosing child care in Tampa Bay

Choosing child careAlthough I’d love to open my door to every child that needs care the sad truth is I am not super woman.  Try as I may, I am not physically capable of tending to the needs of so many little ones all at once.  Thankfully the state of Florida understands these physical limitations as well and has set forth their own standards and capacities in order to ensure providers don’t take on too much and put our children at risk as well.

Life Provides Us The Best Lessons Sometimes

school busMy oldest son is now in middle school and has been delivered the unfortunate blow of riding the bus to school.  The beginning of his first year it was tough but as time went on it became a bit more enjoyable due to the fact he had made some friends and it was a nice time to socialize and even unwind after the “grueling” day of studies.  He is what I consider to be a good kid.  He makes good choices in the types of people he will hang out with and he doesn’t use foul language and tends to treat his peers with respect.  As we all know this is not always the case.  Any parent that visits Pinellas County School Board’s Parent Portal can see there is a section dedicated to On Campus Arrests.  How sad is this? 

My mommy wears 'combat boots'

Charlie GambleOh, the joys of parenthood. I can recall it as if it were yesterday, the elation of seeing that little pink line appear on the stick that told me I was indeed pregnant with my first son after years of being told I could not conceive a child. Years of trying and failing had led my husband and I to believe our only option would be adopting a child. The only thought in our minds at that time were the joys of holding onto the little bundle of joy.
