I love being a mom and I love my job, but I admit it: I would fish for a living if I could! HA!

Central Washington Custom Car & Cycle Show Was Amazing [PHOTOS]
If you appreciate a sweet chassis -- whether it's on a car, truck, bike or a bodybuilder -- and you didn't get to attend last weekend's Central Washington Custom Car and Cycle Show, here are some photos from the Yakima Valley Convention Center to give you a little taste. We had a blast!
It’s March — Here Come The Mosquitoes
Spring is in the air. Time to plan your camping trips, road trips, vacations or whatever you do when nice weather hits. What follows nice weather, though, is not always nice. Those pesky mosquitos!
St. Patrick’s Day Is In Seven Days — What Do You Plan To Do In Yakima Valley? [POLL]
Good ol' St. Patrick's Day. Another reason for people who drink some of the time to get drunk in the middle of the work week. That is how I feel about it. Daylight Saving Time messes with people. Waking up and being ready for the work day when you are used to a certain amount of sleep doesn't help a person. When a drinking holiday is in the middle of a work week, it is 10 times worse, as far as I
Daylight Saving Time Is Sunday, March 12 — Is Yakima Valley Ready?
Daylight Saving Time returns this weekend -- time to spring our clocks forward to accommodate the way the world revolves.
To be honest with you, I am glad I have my cellphone, which automatically keeps up with our twice-a-year time changes, because I almost always forget.
Dozer Days Looking for Volunteers for This Year’s Yakima Event
Dozer Days -- the Central Washington Home Builders Association's annual construction fair that gives kids a chance to operate heavy equipment -- needs volunteers to help stage this year's event.
Can You Still Find Silly Putty In Yakima?
When I was a kid, one of my favorite things was to get the comics section of the newspaper and use my Silly Putty on it. Just in case you have no idea what Silly Putty is, it's almost like gum except, you don't eat it, you play with it. Mashing it on a colorful newspaper or magazine will imprint whatever you stick it on. This kept me busy for hours.
A Kid Started A Charity To Raise ‘Kid Friendly Food’ For Food Banks — We Should Start One Here!
Some people think that charity work is pretty easy. They also think that there are to many charities in the world. I disagree with them both.
Charities are around for a good reason. We are living in a world where we need charity. It saddens me that we do...
What Is The Most Expensive Parking In the Yakima Valley?
I have to admit it. When it comes to parking, I would rather walk a little bit than pay a big price. Unless it is for a safety reason, and then I might pay a little. But $300,000? Not a chance in heck. But there is a spot in Brooklyn, N.Y., that was sold most recently for $300,000 -- for just ONE spot!
I Reuse My To-Go Boxes From Yakima Valley Restaurants
It seems like every time I buy plastic food storage containers, I always lose them. But for the past year now, I have been reusing the to-go boxes I have gotten from local restaurants because it works.
You Have Been Wrong About This Hangover Cure The Whole Time
A recent study has shown that chasing a hangover with more alcohol is the worst thing you could do. I have been wrong my whole life. When I have had hangovers, I always drank a bloody Mary to chase it away. I thought it worked. Hours later, though, when I was not drinking anymore, I DID still feel kind of bad.
One Of The Coolest Things I Have Seen In Yakima — An Old Gas Pump
I have shopped and eaten in many places in the Yakima Valley. There is always something different to see. Whether it has been in a store or a restaurant, there is always something cool. My most recent find was in the Peppermint Stick in Union Gap.
Taco Truck To The Rescue For Stranded Seattle Drivers! Amazing!
Stuck in traffic is never good. But, stuck because of an accident is even worse yet. The accident that happened on the I-5 near Seattle, wasn't a good scene. Road crew had to close down I-5 for nearly 8 hours to contain the oil tanker spill that had turned over. But, a fantastic 'Taco Truck' came to the rescue!
