The Philadelphia Zoo is America's first zoo and it is home to more than 1,300 animals. Many of the animals are rare and endangered. The Philadelphia Zoo is the leading family attraction in the City. Our Zoo is my favorite place to go in Philadelphia. The photos shown below range between the years of 2007 and 2010. I have a lot of them, but they don't even show half of what the Zoo has to offer. We get a yearly membership and the children love it!

Santa Says  Santa's Blog shares children's Christmas wishes and many aren't asking for toys: My Grandma’s nightgown has holes in it you can see through and I don’t like to, so she needs a new one, and her Mix Masters broke too. I want $500 to help Mommy pay all the bills because we are getting a little poor and she worries so much. You can skip all the toys this year. What I want is for my brother to get better, to speak and act like he used to and not have to take pills all the time. Can you make me magic? Dear Santa, will you let dad spean time with us. I need your help. Dear Santa, All I wish is to see my Grandpa for Christmas. Please for me. All I want is for my baby cousin Brandon to get better. Visit his blog to see what Santa Says!

ME: You're NOT behaving and you told me that you would be good & follow directions. HER: I told you that, but I am trying. ME: I don't want to hear that you're trying! Go to bed right NOW! HER: I said I was trying to follow directions mom. I'm trying my best. That's all I can do mom, is try my best. ME: *Blank stare* .....GO TO BED!!! What is the deal with small children and bedtime?

These days, some women are debating whether or not it is okay for their husband, boyfriend or men in general, to wear skinny legged pants. I've had this conversation on both Twitter and Facebook. I must admit that I agreed with some people stating, " Yeah I agree, I don't like the new skinny pants on men." But wait a minute, wasn't there a time when men walked around looking like this??? and this: Uh, yeah. In light of that throwback moment, I'm okay with the new look. (My mom has a photo of us at the park, some time in the early 80's and my dad has midriff shirt on, LoL)
