My College Graduation

When I graduated from college, I was surrounded by my favorite people in the whole world. My Mom Mom raised my sisters and me as a single parent. She balanced teaching school and taking care of us.

I won an iPad a few months ago. I love, love, love it, but I haven't mastered the keyboard. I end up hunting and pecking like a crazed woodpecker and making tons of spelling errors.

May 2, 2011 By Deirdre

I am hoping for Mother's Day presents that I can use the iPad I won from The Activity Mom.

I know this a stretch, but the mind of three year old is a complicated thing. Continue Reading
