Mommy's Busy, Go Ask Daddy

Celebrating Mom’s Big Birthday with One Goofy Cake

This weekend we went upstate to visit my parents and celebrate my mom’s birthday. This Tuesday, she turns the big 7-0, though she certainly doesn’t look it. Come to think of it, she certainly doesn’t act it either. How many of you have a senior citizen mother who watches Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Doctor Who and even the Lord of the Rings movies? She’s always loved dogs (especially Shih-Tzus), British mysteries, and tea. And the one …

Blogger Spotlight: Sheila from Sheilacakes

Maybe it’s the planning six moves ahead part that I really like. I actually remember going with my dad to Manhattan …

This entire week, the media’s been full of stories, photos, videos, memorials …

I’m not up on my Jason horror movies (that’d be my blog buddy Kenda), but was there ever a Friday the 13th film that pitted the hockey-mask wearing serial killer against ol’ Saint Nick? Yeah, Friday the 13th, Part 13: Jason vs. Santa! I’d pay to see that one. Anyways, let’s completely switch gears and talk about happy things like bunnies, rainbows and …
