Every Friday my son has a spelling test, and on the back of the paper he always draws a little picture of the two of us. It's really cute and something I look forward to each week. Last week, he came home with this. Can you tell Mommy has been sleeping a lot lately? This is me in bed and him checking in on me with a big frown on both of our faces, because we are so sad that I am sick. Cute right? I've been down and out with pneumonia for the last couple of weeks. It's been horrible! I've … [Read more...]

I have a confession, I do not have a green thumb. It's true. Not even a light shade of green. But it doesn't stop me from trying. Hubs and I had been talking one night about how we just love fresh herbs and wouldn't it be nice to have access to those fresh herbs whenever we liked. Knowing about this thumb of mine, we didn't even entertain the thought of starting an herb garden, but all that changed when I opened my inbox a couple days later and saw an invitation from Pefferlaw to try out … [Read more...]

Sometimes in a digital world like ours I forget how much I love to read.

Melissa's memoir of growing up as a child actor under the highly competitive and neurotic care of her … [Read more...]
