I’d never asked my husband about braces. It never came up in any conversations. He’s quiet and only shares when he thinks it is appropriate to share. Me? I’m an oversharer. A chatterbox. I’d regaled my husband with my orthodontia…

A Highland Jig or Two #bravecarslandevent
Quite a few years ago, my husband and I took back-to-back trips to the U.K. Two major trips in TWO years seems so decadent and extravagant. But, it was different back then. We were practically newlyweds. Both super busy at…
Feast Yer Eyes! #BraveCarsLandEvent
One of our favorite family pastimes is movies. Watching ’em at home. Road tripping to a movie. Even getting an invite to one of those oh-so-fun-I-saw-it-first screenings. Heck, I’d even watch a movie on our rickety car DVD with the…
Celebrating My Birthday with The @Avengers
My birthday is Saturday. I’ll celebrate with family as always. I pick a theme…a dinner out, an outing to Medieval Times, or even a trip to see the Space Shuttle at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. But, this year’s…

Sharing Moments with Family #sogoodsosweet
A couple of summers ago we had the trip of a lifetime. After months and really years of saying “I’m going to take my children to my home in England…someday.” We finally went HOME. Our trip was amazing. The trip…
Why Not Visit London?
New York. London. Paris. As a little kid, I was a seasoned traveler. I had visited all of these cities and more by the time I was 9. My passport had stamps from the many cities we landed in. Of…
Eat Pray Love on DVD [Giveaway]
I didn’t start blogging until I was in my early 40s. I’ve always journalled, but didn’t start a blog until I had to do one for a graduate class. I’m no stranger to what would have been called “keeping a…
Three Channels and There Is Absolutely Nothing on
When I was growing up in England the TV had three channels. True story. There were the two channels operated by the BBC. BBC 1 was on for most of the day. I could tune in around to 9 a.m.…
