Out with the old and in with the new
Today is the last day of 2012. I can’t believe this past year has gone by so fast! Last year I talked about how for 2012 I was not going to set expectations like I had for 2011, which I called the Year of Adventure. Well, I held true to that. I don’t believe in making new year resolutions. Instead, I reassess things throughout the year and try to make changes as I identify areas I’d like to improve upon. After...

Tigger’s favorite memories so far are learning to dive in...

That quickly morphed into a song about camel balls. We’ve played around with the lyrics for a while, and since Tigger got a camcorder for Chrismakah, we finally recorded it for you. We hope you enjoy it. Introducing: Camel...
Confession Time
I have a confession. I hate Christmas. Well, okay, I hate Christmastime. (I’m definitely not at Scrooge level by any means!) Well, until this year. Because of my childhood and subsequent lack of real family, Christmas has never been an enjoyable time for me really. I did often have friends who invited me over so I wasn’t alone, but I don’t think they realized how painful it really was. It’s hard to sit in...
