Easter Decor March 31, 2009

My mother is very crafty, she makes beautiful wreaths.  Mine don’t turn out so well   I did try my hand at a craft and thought I would share the idea.   I wanted an Easter tree to decorate with eggs for inside our house.  I have seen them sold places, but they are  either too [...]

Festive Friends March 30, 2009

Camille and her little friend, Olivia, or as Camille calls her Liv, haven’t seen each other in almost 2 months.  (We try to get them together once a month but sometimes the mommy’s and daddy’s are too busy.) Olivia’s daddy is newschannel 5’s Paul Kiska.  Liv, Paul and  Paul’s wife, Angela, came for a visit [...]

Mockingbird March 26, 2009

Camille is a little chatter box, she has been now for a long time.  But, just recently she took it to a whole new level.  She is repeating everything and anything that she hears.  The other day she was trying to shut the door and couldn’t do it.
 
The next thing we heard.. “Oh, Crap”  I don’t know [...]

Decorate! March 24, 2009

How is Easter almost here? Wasn’t it just Christmas? I can’t keep up. I just barely got the Valentine’s Day decorations down and it’s already time for the Easter eggs   With the exception of a wreath, I never really decorated for Easter before Camille came along.  Now that she’s here, I like to make [...]

Wildlife March 22, 2009

This is the time of year when I have had enough of winter and being trapped inside.  It is so nice to see the sunshine.  The last couple of days have been nice enough to bundle up and get a little fresh air
A friend of mine  has a daughter, Ava, who is 3 [...]

Childcare For Job Interview March 17, 2009

We’ve done alot of sad stories on the economy in our region.  Today,  I did a story that might be able to help you  if you are unemployed and have a child care issue.   So, I thought I would pass it along.
Le Chaperon Rouge  is a child care center, they have 8 locations here in northeastern [...]

Sunday Mornings March 15, 2009

When I was a kid, we were at my grandmother’s house pretty often on Sunday mornings.  I  remember clearly the smell of food cooking on the stove and the sound of Sunday morning polkas on my grandmother’s old AM radio.  I remember dancing and laughing with her.  

(Camille & GaGa during the holidays)
After my grandmother died, my mother [...]

Visit March 9, 2009

Camille is at such a fun age right now.  I wish I could freeze time.  My husband and Camille surprised me the other day, they came to visit me at work.  From the time she walked in,  I couldn’t stop laughing
On my computer screen there is a picture of Camille and Oliver.  She [...]

What’s For Dinner? March 8, 2009

I am not the cook in our family, my husband is, but now I am at least trying.   Last weekend, my husband and Camille were sick with the stomach flu.  I actually used my mother’s homemade chicken soup recipe and it didn’t turn out too bad.  So, that has inspired me to try a little [...]

Hard Story To Tell March 3, 2009

I love my job, but some stories are certainly hard to tell. I did a story today about the pregnant woman who was killed when fire broke out in her Parma Heights home. 
Amanda Wesner was 22 weeks pregnant.  She and her  husband were just days away from finding out the sex of their second child.   They never got to hear that [...]
