I am changing my name. Not the handy “the Mom” title by which I am known in cyberspace, but my real-life name. I have decided to let go and become someone new. Not my whole name, just the middle one. Though if I were completely honest, I would change both my first and middle names. They don’t belong to me. I have a half sister. A half sister with the exact same name. She is older.

Not only is my skin noticeably softer, the dreaded crows feet are less visible. I think I may be in love with aloe vera. Why didn’t someone tell me about this sooner? Check out the 5 day before and after photos. Again, excuse the nakedness... Read more

My grandfather was part of the United State Army during World War II. He drove a tank across France and into Germany. He never really spoke of what he experienced over there, but we all knew it must have been horrible because the sound of gunshots or explosions on a television program could reduce him to tears. The following story was told to me by his wife, my grandmother: It was late June 1944. The Americans were battling their way... Read more
