I spent the first day of 2012 with my son doing fun things that he enjoys since he goes back to school very soon. We went to Dave and Busters, watched an amazing movie called We Bought a Zoo (which I really liked) and drove around taking pictures of random things as we drove. All the pictures were taken by my son with...
I know it's 2 days late but I've been really busy with my son and squeezing as much fun out of these last few days of his winter break as possible. It's illegal to pop fireworks in Hawai'i now unless you have a permit which only allows for those little lame poppers you throw on the ground. Because of the large mix of...
The day back to work and "the real world" after a nice Christmas break is something I generally dread. I wish I could spend all my time with my son and my extended family. Being a single mother is hard work. Well actually, being a mother is hard work, whether you're single or not. I think that being a single mother is just...

I have to juggle his birthday and Christmas and boy is it exhausting at times!!! He's turning the big 1-0 this year so I am planning something special. While I was going...
