Watch List

A few weeks ago, when I watched the Emmy Awards, I came to a disturbing realization—I am woefully behind on watching the current popular TV shows.

To All The Teachers I've Loved Before

Each year, as I send my kids off to school (barely restraining myself from doing the happy foot dance), I always hope that they will have good teachers; kind teachers; enthusiastic teachers; caring teachers.  Most years, we've been very fortunate.  I often wonder, though if once the school year has ended, whether those teachers know the long-lasting impact they have made on their classes. …

Potty Talk

  As I was leaving the Home Depot in Cary a few weeks ago, I realized I needed to make a pit stop before continuing my errands.  Blast that earlier Diet Coke!  My dilemma: where to go to, well… go?

Do It For Davis

If things were fair, Davis Davenport would be eking out the last drops of summer fun before starting 6th grade at Holly Springs Middle School. He might be skateboarding with friends through his Sunset Ridge neighborhood, or playing with his older brother, Drew, or maybe researching how to design a magma powered car. Sadly, Davis didn't live in a world that promised fairness. On August 22, 2006, …

In the Bag

Remember the Capital One commercial that asked: "What's in YOUR wallet?"  Some of us bloggers are taking a spin off of that idea this week and are asking: what's in YOUR...whatever? I've heard it called by many names: purse, pocketbook (even pockybook) and handbag. As a little girl, to carry one meant you were really dressed up, like for Easter, complete with lacy ankle socks and a bonnet. As a …

New Problem for Teen Boys

The teenage males in my family are facing an obstacle like none they have ever known.  It's worse than the seduction of drugs, the threat of gangs or the danger of reckless driving.  Yes, my boys face the insurmountable challenge of being in competition with teenage singing heartthrob, Justin Bieber.

Guilty Pleasures

The other day, I found myself watching the movie "My Baby is Missing" on the Lifetime channel.  The script was bad and the acting was worse, but somehow it was just intriguing enough that I sat on the edge of my bed, procrastinating leaving home while I watched the melodrama.

Surprise Endings

It has happened before, so you'd think we would be prepared, but we weren't. My daughter's softball team played their final game of the season after a terrific run at the Pony Fastpitch Softball National Championships in Cary last week.

What Money Can't Buy

A few days ago, I watched the movie "What Happens in Vegas." It's the one where Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz meet in Las Vegas, get drunk and get married.  Once they sober up, they plan to have a quickie divorce, but before that can happen, they win millions from a casino slot machine.  They both want to claim the money, so they have to go through all sorts of shenanigans before it is settled. …

Guest of the Bride

The wedding is coming soon.  My cousin is getting married and my children and I will be heading to the wedding in Maryland.  Being as we're casual sort of folk, making sure two teenage boys (one is still away at camp) and one tween girl have appropriate clothing could be a Herculean task.  However, by borrowing from a few closets and a fortunate fitting of last year's elementary school graduation…

Back to the lunchbox

For some of us, back to school means back it's back to packing lunches. Sandar Gutierrez, former columnist for the Cary News, had some great lunchbox suggestions that hold up just as well today. I especially like the homemade lunchables because homemade is always tastier and more economical! ###
