Life’s Bucket List

Almost everyone seems to have a bucket list of some sort or another. But I don’t….at least not the “traditional” bucket list….and I’ll tell you why…for me…anyway. Life, as we all know, is full of ups and downs….twists and turns…and then throw in a surprise or two.

If Your Pet Could Talk

We all love our pets…and we have all different kinds of pets at that. From…dogs and cats….to rabbit and guinea pigs…just to name a very few…plain and simple….we all love our pets.

For being the smallest things in our home….they are actually the “heads-of-household”….and I often feel like they know just that! But why are we so attached to our …

It’s April Fools Day!!

April Fool’s Day…or for some All Fool’s Day…..an annual custom that is celebrated on April 1st…that consists of practical jokes and hoaxes.

The Best Parts Of Me

You say…that you don’t know me….well…I am okay with that…but here is the thing…you don’t really have to ask….you know…I only ask….is that you try and find out for yourself. It’s rather easy really…you simply get to know…me…that’s it. See…there you go…it’s that easy.

But it’s what we do with all of our “firsts” in life that really matter the most. A Simple Smile…A Simple Hello It’s true really…..if you think about it.
