Who loved the 1980’s classic theatrical gem National Lampoon’s “Vacation”? Sweet Boy and I recently hit the Holiday Rooooooad! We were on a quest to go to see dear friends and visit Legoland during his fall break. The boy LOVES his lego’s and was beyond excited. Remember the scene when Clark finally ends his horribly disastrous drive across the country only to discover that Wally World was closed? It’s really not so funny when it happens in real life and you have a tearful 10-year-old ... View the Post

Thinking Outside the Lunchbox Mommy Duel on the Playground
For many it’s that time of year again. The annual “What do I pack my kid for lunch?” blah’s. I used to have this same dilemma until I came across a few blogs that feature Bento lunchboxes. For those of you unfamiliar with the art of Bento, it is a single-portion meal originating in Japan. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, packed artistically in a box-shaped container. I will stop right here and let you know I DO NOT take it to ... View the Post
Silver for Sunday Supper
When I was a little girl it was my job was to set the table for dinner. It was always Silver for Sunday Supper. Except on Business ~ Lucien Davis, 1885 Silver for Sunday Supper My Grandmother Mary and Papa Jack had a set of silver plate that they used for their everyday utensils. It featured lovely swirls and curves and a small rose right below the “V” monogram. My tiny fingers would often trace out the design. To my eye it was the loveliest set of silver I had ever seen. After my ... View the Post
Wayfaring Wednesday Cool Cozumel
I am trying to think cool thoughts while the thermometer explodes. Given that I still have my hands full while Sweet Boy recovers from his recent surgery I decided to repost this oldie but goodie. It originally was featured in March of 2008 where it was viewed by a whopping 1 person. Here is Wayfaring Wednesday Cool Cozumel. Mr. Décor and I had not had an ALONE vacation in over 10 years. For our 10th anniversary we went on a cruise. Our second port stop was the island of Cozumel (Mexico). You ... View the Post
When the Tooth Fairy Comes to Visit for the Last Time
A few days ago Sweet Boy had some fairly extensive dental surgery. An oral surgeon removed a total of 5 teeth to prepare him for braces next week. Two of the teeth were so badly impacted that the normally 30 minute procedure took close to two hours. (Yes, mom was a basket case.) But greater pain was in store for me that night. As we prepared for bed Sweet Boy sighed and said I need to prepare for When the Tooth Fairy Comes to Visit for the Last Time. It was true. The surgeon had removed all ... View the Post
