What Are These Bakugan?

 
What are these Bakugan
I seem to keep stepping on?
 
Little balls that pop right open,
waiting for my feet to trip on.

Hands Off My Salad!

 
I went out for a girls’ lunch with my friend Julie recently. We split a salad and each got our own burger. We were having a good time chatting away when the waiter came by and asked me if he could take my salad plate. I looked at my plate and noticed there was a little [...]

Snow Day

I have been wishing for more cozy Winter days and my wish was granted on Tuesday. The weather man said snow was coming, but I didn’t really believe it until it happened. We awakened to a winter wonderland – and it was beautiful. It snowed heavily all morning and we waited and watched. In the [...]

The Spirit of Christmas

CJ took a carousel ride tonight – his first one ever. I don’t know why he never liked to ride them before, I think it had something to do with fluid in his ears. But tonight we went to a big park in our new city where they have a holiday train, lots of Christmas [...]
