Unforgettable “Quotes” Captured

A tiny photo of a book that will have huge heart warming impact in our older age.


When my boys were very young I started a journal of all their wonderful quotes. My record keeping of these pearls of wisdom didn’t last very long because I didn’t have just one booklet dedicated to this. I wish I would have done this but here is a journal for you mom’s out there who still have time to capture these precious words or for new mom’s to be. What a great gift for a baby shower or for Mother’s Day, don’t you think?

I found it at Paper Source.

Son2 came up with especially thoughtful insights in pre-school always as I was tucking him in bed:

Reflecting on his little light brown patch birthmark:
“My freckles are having a party.”

Philosophy:
“I know what happens when we die. We keep coming back over and over again.”

I love being a mom. 🙂

Book Report Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story

I have finished Bobby and Jackie: A Love Story. It was not what I was expecting. It was much better! Yes, they apparently did have a loving, physical relationship and were relatively open about it. The press corps of the 60’s were very different and little information would be considered mainstream like we know of things today. Every fact was quoted by name and cited. Footnotes and citations at the back of the book were extensive. I think readers might… [Read More]

Did you… [Read More]

The Lost Symbol and Personal Commentary

So what do you think? I was completely captivated with the Da Vinci Code but did not read Angels and Demons. However, I did see both movies and although I did enjoy Da Vinci more neither one rocked my world. As they say, I could have waited for the DVD. After being so literature deprived lately, I rushed out on the day The Lost Symbol was released to pick it up. I was so anxious to get another page turner… [Read More]

“Yes, This Clutter Does Make My Butt Look Fat.”

I am feeling better today. Yesterday was difficult.The reality of no children in the house hit me hard. The transition alone can make one think of their mortality and getting the results of blood work done the week previously didn’t help. Sign me up for anything with a little heart on it that says no trans fat, no sugar, no salt, no taste and no fun. My day began waking from a deep early morning sleep to the phone ringing…. [Read More]
