Peppa Pig is Coming!

Peppa Pig Live Peppa Pig's Big Splash

Peppa Pig is big with the kids. I know my daughter has been in love with Peppa and her brother George for years. And Peyton has also been obsessed with muddy puddles. Just like Peppa.  Typically we can only see Peppa on television. My daughter has been begging to see Peppa Pig in person for years. So I did my research and it really looked like the only way we would ever see Peppa Pig in person is if we went to Peppa Pig World. In England. Yeah, I do not see that in our immediate future. And now ...

But life does not always work out the way we planed.  For Charlie Goldwyn his life was not going the way he had planed. Just two years earlier he had it all.

The Noticer's Guide to Living and Laughing

My life is crazy busy. Being a single mom with absolutely no help (emotional, physical or financial) from the (I'm using this term loosely) father, working a full time day job, raising an amazing little girl and blogging my days never seem to end. Before Peyton was born I would work all the time, spend an average of 9-10 hours in the office a day and then even bring work home. I was the "best" employee. Then Peyton came along and I found myself really struggling. I wanted my life like before. I ...
