My 16 year old son made this video today with his best friend. He said he was inspired by my huge shoe collection. What?!?!?!? So glad he’s not into Facebook, selfies, or any of that other crap. He’s playing the drums that he just got for his birthday, and guitar to spoof pop. I told him I’d be the drummer in his band if he wanted. The look on his face was priceless! (no, he doesn’t want me to play the drums)
Thanks for tuning in.
Touche!
Rescues are the best! Adopt, don’t shop!
Okay, now I want a baby bat! They are so freaking cute!

ABC News: A sanctuary for orphaned fruit bats on Sydney’s North Shore (Australia) has been expanded to house more pups and adult bats.
Every spring up to 100 fruit bat orphans are hand-reared by wildlife volunteers, then taken to the Kukundi shelter at Lane Cove National Park.
Their mothers can die from natural predators, flying accidents and entanglement in power lines.

“They will go to backyard fruit. And they will get tangled in backyard fruit netting. And this does terrible things to their wings so they can’t fly,” said Tierre Thorpe from wildlife carer organisation Sydney Wildlife.
“They often get caught on power lines so they get electrocuted,” she said.
The breeding season is in October when it is all hands on decks for volunteers.

Really! Every moment above ground is a good thing!
I do volunteer work to make a difference. I wish everyone did.
Awww!
Thanks Chris!
My 16 year old son just asked me if he could take a shower before he went to bed. I said he could wait until the morning.
“No Mom, I smell really bad!” God, I love that child.
This is funny because we always have to remind him to take a shower. I have caught him on numerous occasions taking fake showers. You know, peering at himself in the mirror while the water is running for twenty minutes. I think my baby boy is finally growing up.
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!

What a great way to welcome in June with this delicious looking jar of healthiness. I have been experimenting with juicing and blending but blending (smoothies) almost always make the list of “I want one” in our household. You know that phrase when the kids see something that look good to them and say, “I want one.”
My kids are not to fun of juicing because the majority of my juices are made up of veggies with a fruit added to help with the taste. I guess they are not very tasty in their book but they still drink them though. They are not on the “I want one” list. I often alternate between juicing and blending but I love making mixtures with the combination of both ( juicing and blending) sometimes. It seems like we are getting the benefits of both in one. When I…
