Click, click, click and all male heads, as well as some female heads (mine included) swivel to see what’s attached to the sound of high heels clicking across the tiled floor. Although the men are looking to see what the woman looks like, I’m looking to see what the fabulous shoes or boots look like. I’m a sucker for ... Read More »

Mom’s Eye View – Job Hopping
I recently had to take on another job, am now in fact working three jobs and my co-workers often ask me how I was able to land three jobs while people they know who’ve been unemployed for a long period of time can’t even get into a temporary or seasonal position. There aren’t any special tips to getting hired; you ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – What’s Trending?
Being someone who gets her information and news online, it’s hard not to notice that one of the trends these days seems to be “what’s trending.” What exactly is trending? To the best of my understanding it seems to be another phrase for, “what’s cool.” It means the latest, greatest thing that’s happening RIGHT NOW. It’s not new, it’s been ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – Poetry and Other Stuff
When I first began writing I began like most every other writer — scribblings of poetry and snippets of words strung together. My first book, This Ain’t Shakespeare, was filled with poetry ramblings. Although I realized they weren’t Shakespeare (thus the title), I found that because of the content of the book, my readers related to it on another level. ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – Closet Foodie
I’ve never been one for cooking. I’ve never particularly enjoyed it and I’ve never learned to do it well. I used to blame myself for this dilemma. I’d beat myself up about it, calling myself a lazy cook, but after much soul searching I realized that the person to blame for this condition was my very own mother. Yes, mom, ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – It’s Your Money
“It’s your money; spend it however you’d like.” That’s something we’d all love to hear. Even better, something we’d all like to be able to do. But, it’s never really our money, is it? This is just one of those phrases people often say, but in reality know isn’t true. Sort of like, “if I ever won the lottery this ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – Coming Home
I’m so totally in love. His smile makes me smile, his laugh makes me laugh and his soft hands touching my face make me to want to hold him in my arms forever. My grandson is home and I’m in Heaven. My daughter Allison, her husband Tristin and their son Samuel Grayson came home last week. My baby girl is ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – Rover Didn’t Roll Over
I don’t know about anyone else, but for me Curiosity did not kill the cat. Curiosity got to Mars and is going to be giving us an up close and personal look at the Red Planet. The historic landing inside an ancient crater was a resounding success for NASA and a huge clap on the back for their space program. ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – Who’s Afraid of a Little Spider?
I wonder if anyone remembers that old country song by Jim Stafford called, “Spiders and Snakes.” I remember it simply because the song was about hating spiders and snakes and I could relate completely to it. I don’t like spiders and snakes. And when I moved into the camp I’m currently renting, that is exactly what I had to contend ... Read More »
Mom’s Eye View – Medication virgin
“The best way to learn something new is to try it.” After a recent visit to the doctor’s office he told me he was going to prescribe some medication for my insomnia, but that it would be the lowest dose available and that I was supposed to half that as well. When I asked him why such a super-low dosage ... Read More »
