Grab your long undies!

You have heard..when life gives you lemons make lemonade..well here is my new take on this winter in Barrington.... when its icy and (burrr) cold...put your skates on!
Here's a link to all the skating in Lake County

Have some winter fun and don't forget the hot chocolate!

so much to learn...so little time...

Do you ever feel like the you are "living" the quote..."two steps ahead..one step behind"???
I pride myself on trying to know "what's going on" especially with 3 daughters to keep me in line..The constant banter of teens and the "Oh mom you aren't going to ask to be my facebook friend are you? And many other comments I can't possible repeat here! And you know what...I can deal with anything they want to say/think because at the end of the day I believe (I could be wrong but...)They will remember me as a person that never wanted to stop learning. So once again...knowledge is power...should I get that tattooed?? OH MOMMMMM!!!!

Life can change in an instant...

Why is it that tragedy has a way of finding its way to those who can survive it the least?   

Though it seems like a "world away"the devastation in Haiti touches us all!

Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, a place where malnutrition is widespread and less than half the population has access to clean drinking water. At 4:53:09 p.m. on Jan. 12, a 7.0 on the Richter scale earthquake devastated this country.

Wireless customers can send $10 donations
to the Red Cross International Relief Fund to help earthquake victims in Haiti.

Type in the word HAITI and send it to 90999. A confirmation message will arrive within a few minutes, to which the customer replies "yes" to finalize the donation. 100 percent of all money donated will be passed on to the Red Cross.

And then I suggest that you immediately hug everyone you love and count your blessings.
