I was so very blessed to know my Grandmother, aka “Nanny”. She turned 93 about two weeks before she passed away in 2015. There is so much in my high school history book that she actually LIVED THROUGH. I’m amazed at some of the stories she has told me. One thing nagged me though. It

Three Question Thursday 1.5.17

  1. “I don’t know how to feel about Carrie Fisher’s death.” Alright I admit it.. this isn’t a question. When I told Mini that Carrie had passed, she thought about it for a while then told me she wasn’t sure how to feel about it. 2016 was insane with the celebrity deaths, quite frankly.

They say time flies when you’re having fun, but time also flies when you’re miserable or sad. Even the days you’ve spent at the DMV are few when it comes to your whole life. Fifteen years ago, I said good-bye to my Mother. It feels just like it was yesterday. At times, it hurts that

*SPOILER ALERT! If you watch the show with your kids and haven’t seen the “Trish gets bullied” episode, read no further!* Sunday night, Mini watched the new episode of Austin & Ally.
