You know what’s more confusing than actors who bear a physical resemblance? Actors who have that going for them AND extremely similar names. Today, I’m sorting Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman at Selena’s request, but as I started skimming IMDB, I’m not entirely sure I knew they were two separate people. Read the rest of this entry →

Happy Monday, Persephoneers! I hope the week has gotten off to a good start. My week started yesterday, with some lovin’ from my children. They are finally at the age where they get excited about holidays to which they contribute, not only ones for which they receive. Read the rest of this entry →

I was a teacher long before I became a parent. I taught in a small, private preschool that catered to suburban families looking for an early childhood experience rather than simply babysitting for their preschoolers. Every family was required to volunteer 25 hours of their time, or pay a $250 fee. Read the rest of this entry →

Last week, the iconic Scholastic Book Fair came to my daughter’s school. For a week, we hear about the “super secret diary” with a real key for $9.99, a special Barbie stick book for $9.99, and a Justin Beiber poster for only $3.75! Read the rest of this entry →

Today I’m taking on stars who hit their stride as kids. They hit their stride as child stars at a time when I was not watching family films or television shows, so I never learned who they were. I’m fixing that today. Read the rest of this entry →

Here’s a little tidbit you probably don’t know about me—I owned a John Schneider T-shirt in the very early eighties. I was a huge Dukes of Hazzard fan, and my best friend and I had it all figured out. Luke Duke was her boyfriend, and Bo Duke was mine. Read the rest of this entry →

In high school, it was my initial on a chain. In college, it was a pendant I got at a Cure concert. In nearly every stage of my life, I’ve had a piece of jewelry that I’ve worn nearly every day without fail. Read the rest of this entry →

It’s that time again, Persephoneers! I’m sorting two leading ladies, baby boomers who have aged gracefully in the public eye. They both play strong leads and they have both won numerous accolades. Maybe that’s why it usually takes me a minute if I tune into a movie to determine if it’s Meryl or Glenn. Read the rest of this entry →

As a mother, it’s my role to love, nurture and educate my children. Part of that duty includes helping my children learn how to take care of themselves, and how to live respectfully with other people. Read the rest of this entry →

Happy Monday, Persephoneers! If you are in the US, I hope your taxes are done. I’ve got a simple question to ask tonight, as my family gears up for “birthday season.” Read the rest of this entry →

Last week, I sorted rappers turned actors. This week, I’m going with older men who are somewhat iconic, and yet, at the same time, interchangeable in my mind. Two of them were also mention by a reader in the comments last week, so I’m glad I’m not along. I KNOW Anthony Hopkins was Hannibal Lecter. I KNOW Bob Hoskins was in Hook, I KNOW Harvey Keitel was in Reservoir Dogs. But who was it in Nixon? Or Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Or The Piano? This is when I get confused.

It all started with a plastic tricycle with a handle. My girl was about 18 months old when she started wanting to ride this trike, or rather, have me push her around on it. Read the rest of this entry →

Greetings, dear readers! Happy Monday to you. I hope if you indulged in the holiday over the weekend, you’ve recovered today. Saturday, I got to visit with my grandma, who is a proud 98 1/2 years old. Read the rest of this entry →
