Take a moment and think about the person you love the most. Now imagine that person forgetting who you are. As we age, we all lose some of our mental sharpness, but with Alzheimer’s disease the toll is much larger. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, but it is important to remember that it is not a normal [...]
I didn’t have the most stable and functional childhood in history, of that I am sure. But I have come to realize that is really doesn’t matter. Well, not much anyway. I know so many people who still blame their parents for how their adult lives turned out and who still hold grudges against their [...]

One of my favorite things to do is to read. I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I picked up the habit from my mom who used to read a lot as well. Are you a book lover, too? If so, you might be pleased to hear that today is Book Lover’s Day. So [...]
Have you ever seen the Arizona sky? During monsoon season we get some amazing clouds and the abundant dust sure makes for great sunsets. Arizona skies are hands down some of the most beautiful skies around. Here are some pictures I recently snapped. Arizona’s desert skies are stunning murals crafted by the hand of God. These pictures really do not [...]
My kiddos and I were out braving the heat at the Phoenix Zoo yesterday. The summers are usually slow at the zoo since many of the animals will not venture out of the shade and roam their enclosures. However, the heat did not stop one cute critter. Along one of the hottest and steepest areas of the zoo, our [...]
One of my favorite things to do is to go to the movies. The recent shooting at the Aurora theater was a terrible act and caused so much tragedy for so many families. We just went to the movies yesterday and I couldn’t help but think about those movie fans who lost their lives in the theater. [...]
I admit it, I still like to color. When I was a new college student living on my own, I bought a few coloring books and some colored pencils and doodled from time to time. As I grew into a self-sufficient adult that habit died and I began to be more concerned about the monotonous tasks of adulthood. [...]
S’mores are a summertime tradition in my family and probably in yours,too. We regularly have a fire in our fire pit on summer nights and s’mores are often a part of the fun. We also love to make s’mores on our family camping trips. What a fun tradition! The summer nights can get quite hot here in the desert, but that [...]
Swimming is near and dear to my heart. As I have shared before, my sweet niece drowned before she even reached the age of 18 months. This tragedy greatly affected my life and I have become a huge advocate of teaching children to swim . I started my own kiddos in swimming lessons at an [...]

It is May and that means Mother’s Day is right around the corner. I love getting handmade gifts from my children and time with my mom but I also love getting gifts (I admit it)! I also love giving gifts. Someday I will be able to afford to take my mom on a nice Hawaiian [...]
