My mission statement~

I intend on "trying" to live a life that is about: not putting in my mouth things that are bad for me or have come from an animal that was treated cruely while alive on this earth and during slaughter, creating lasting fond memories for my children and grandchildren, adventure, challenging myself, respect others regardless of species, race, color or creed, taking risks, having fun, being grateful, respecting myself & my body, being authentically myself, taking responsibility for my actions, being proactive, being a problem solver, taking action, introspection, transition, change, honesty, growth, loving & helping others, having integrity, doing my best, being easy on myself, enjoying this world, becoming well read, seeing the wonder of it all and never allowing fear to hold me back!

I'm the Grandma....................


The other night I took Cooper to the store and right as we walked in I showed him the Christmas tree.

A family was watching us. Finally they said "he looks just like you" ( I get that a lot)

I said "Oh, thanks" "I''ll be sure and tell my daughter that. He is my grandson" and started to walk away.

I could here them gasping and saying to each other "what did she say??? She can't be the Grandma!!!!"


I didn't smile once!!!!

And I am a big fat liar;)
(about me not smilin')

That kind of thing does make a gal feel good...I don't think you look old enough to be a grandma either!

Don't ya love it?! I'm a grandma too, but I haven't had that kind of compliment yet. So, I'm curious...which part are you lieing about...that part of what they said, or that you didn't smile?

My mom gets that a lot, too with my kids.... I think that its a blessing and I hope someday I can be a young looking granny, too!

AND - I observed this happening at Target the other night, too! This gorgeous lady had a darling little girl with her and the checker said something about mother/daughter time and the g'ma corrected her ;)
