Happy Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a day of remembrance and respect for those that have died serving our nation.
To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the “National Moment of Remembrance” resolution was passed on Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.”
As a mom, my heart goes out the many moms that have children in the armed forces as well as the many moms serving our country.
Recently, Army Specialist Zachary Boyd, 19, of Fort Worth, Texas, was photographed in his pink “I Love NY” boxers and flip flops. He rushed from his sleeping quarters on to join fellow platoon members at a base in Afghanistan’s Kunar Province after the unit came under fire from Taliban positions.
These men and women have so much pride, honor, courage, and integrity.
No matter what your stance is on the war, or your political affiliation, please take a moment to remember and honor those that have died fighting for our many freedoms.
A special Memorial Day honor to my dad, Retired Reserve Army Lt. Colonel Gus Strassburger and one of my BFF’s (and Hot Mama) Air Force Major L.B Slade.
THANK YOU

Money Mo is 8!
It’s been 8 wonderful years since I spent 23 fun filled hours in labor. Good times. It’s funny he still has the same personality now as he has as an infant and toddler. He’s always been intense, emotional, sensitive, and crazy. Yes, he is a Gemini. Another factor that has remained constant, is his hair. … Read more
Mother’s Day 2012
I have so much fun with my boys. Fun for me is pretty simple, hanging with my kids with minimal arguing & whining. So, for Mother’s Day, I just like to relax. It all started with breakfast in bed. With a little help from Auntie Mona, the boys made all my favorites: bacon, egg & … Read more
B Got Punched In The Mouth
As a parent, there is nothing more frightening than your child being hurt. I expect bullying, name calling, your mama jokes when my kids are in middle school, but seeing them deal with getting hit at 3 years old, makes it hard for me to channel my inner peace. B is a sweet 3 year … Read more

The 21 year old 6-foot-5, 322-pound Houston native credits his … Read more
Fifty Shades Of Grey Review
I think I have become THAT mom. Ya know, the one who uses her spit to clean the corner of her kid’s mouth… The one who does an exercise DVD in her living room… The one who when she gets angry tells her kid “I brought you into this world, and I can take you … Read more
