I don’t know who she is and the person who found her camera has not discovered her identity either. They found her camera while on vacation in Italy. The person did post this photo and a few others on a site called www.ifoundyourcamera.blogspot.com which helps to reunite people with cameras or memory sticks they have […]

My niece Hanniah (age 4) gave me a huge compliment this weekend. She told me on Sunday that she wanted to be a wonderful Aunt like me when she grows up. This was after she told me that the Smurfs were lame in comparison to the 3D-CGI produced Backyardigans of her generation. This was after […]

I was watching Oprah today and she had a number of talented kids on today’s show. One of those kids was a 15 year old named Charice Pempengco. Charice is from the Philippines and has been singing since she was four years old. I had never heard of her but apparently she is quite popular […]

I was reading the news and came across the announcement that the Duggar family is expecting another child. This is their 18th child! There is part of me that says she should have as many kids as she wants. They support their family and do not receive any government assistance.  Then there is the part […]
