joya app

I would imagine that everyone has a grandparent or older relative that isn’t terribly savvy when it comes to computers or smart phones. My poor grandmother.  We send photos; she can’t open them.  She asks to read my blog.  I try to explain the URL and that she can go to it whenever she wants. It just doesn’t stick. She needs to be able to click once and wait. Here’s to hoping a new iPhone app will be our saving grace.  Joya is a new iPhone app that allows you to easily [...]

Get thee to a dermatologist

I’ve had a mole on the outside of my right arm FOREVER.  It has literally been there for as long as I can remember.  About five years ago (or maybe more), I finally got it checked.  The doctor wasn’t concerned, but said we should definitely watch it. Over this last year, I noticed a few new moles – one on my hand and one on my back.  Now I have a lot of tiny moles and freckles on my arms and legs, but for some reason, these two have bugged [...]

But I’m Not Tired

June 4, 2013

I was reading an email after having said “I love you” and given my nightly hugs and kisses. I hear the scampering of small feet and I looked up to see a little man in Super Hero underwear at the top of the stairs. “Whatcha doin’ buddy?” “I’m not asleep yet mama.  What are you doing?” I hustled him back down the hall, while he griped about wanting to be with me. “Why do I have to go to bed” I explained that it’s night time and at night, we [...]

Fast Park RDU

*Congrats to Liz for winning the free pass!* Over the course of my career, I have taken many flights.  Those flights typically equal A LOT of money in parking fees. Sometimes I would park in one of the park and ride lots, but often times, I just parked in the closest lot for $12 a day.  I didn’t really know there were other options out there besides what the airport provided. A few weeks ago, my family flew to Disney World.  We were trying to figure out a way to [...]

Sometimes I’m just ridiculous

I’m not a huge fan of bugs.  I mean, I know they have their place in the world order and all, but they freak me out.  Bees, wasps, cockroaches, flies and mosquitoes have the ability to make me act like a five year old kid.  It’s not pretty. Last night, as I was getting myself situated in my bed, I heard a brief buzzing in my ear.  I swatted the side of my head and promptly flew out of my bed. “Honey, there’s a mosquito in our room!” I yelled [...]

Summer is upon us {a bucket list}

Our summer bucket list

  Preschool is over; I can hardly believe it!  It’s time to start thinking about summer plans and activities for the kids.  Last year, I came up with an awesome list of things to do in Raleigh. This summer, I decided to make a bucket list of things I want to do by the time preschool starts back up in September. Both kids will be in camp for five weeks!  (WHAT?  Five weeks of mama time from 9-1, Monday through Thursday!  I see lots of writing time and a clean [...]
