Life is so funny…and fleeting. If you go the traditional route, you may get married, have kids, then turn around and blink…and they are 18…and ready to move out. But…but…but…I’m not ready! We still have things to do and I haven’t taught you everything yet…DON’T GO!!! Does this sound familiar? Seriously, I find this time …

It’s a tradition. Every July we have a family barbecue/picnic at Graves Island Provincial Park in Chester, to celebrate a couple July birthdays (mine and my youngest daughters) I think it may have started as a way for me to host a birthday party, without actually having to clean up the house….but it has turned into …
How did this happen? All the cliche’s…all the song lyrics…all the times I tried to “hang on and enjoy every minute”, have somehow slipped by and now and my two little babies aren’t babies anymore. So they’re 18.…now what? Twins I had twins. They were our first. One boy. One girl. One perfect family, according …
