So I’m sharing it for all moms who surf, blog, tweet, Facebook it, myspace it, or in general use the web to stay connected or get connected. The web community is amazing because of it’s access to so many globally. If you’ve [...]

Every year to prepare for Christmas, we always watch Henson’s Muppet’s Christmas Carol. I love the original Charles Dickens classic and I remember watching the theater production in college. I love the story. But the Muppet version is something as a family we watch and discuss.
We talk [...]

For my autistic, down syndrome friend
Current mood: blessed
Emily, I wonder what goes through that pretty head
You look up at me and won’t say a word
Emily, big brown eyes and coal black hair
Just to feel my skin you take my hands in yours
Bang the table, hands flap, pages fly,
Watching you just freezes [...]

I know that for the moment I am a bit of writer poser. I don’t have anything to show for the effort at the moment other than a few cute blogs. But I have a dead line with my prof. set and I am scrambling like mad to get it done. I am thinking, working, [...]

My children are already suffering from the “all good things must end” malady that I often grieve from. It’s amazing how we can as Thoreau said, “launch (ourselves) on every wave, find your eternity in each moment” if it comes to beginnings, but endings always leave us grieving and breathless. We see it coming. [...]

Today is Memorial Day. We remember those who have sacrificed and lost so much so that we can live with the freedoms we are given. It’s a very poignant and special remembering. Freedom is costly.
My children were talking with me earlier about “Memorial” and what that word means. I explained that it is [...]

The house was large and rambling with lots of rooms. It was old and Victorian in it’s hey day. It had a solarium with two macaws as sentinels. There was an ancient Schnauzer on a large pillow by a sunny window.
It was a lovely warm airy home. More than a house, it was a well [...]

It’s Stogner family fun night. Friday nights are a time where we are just together. I know it won’t always be that way, so I plan to maximize these sacred moments. How did we do it tonight?
