I am not nor ever have been a girlie girl. But there was a time early in my career when I wore dresses, heels and pantyhose to work everyday. The thing I find most ironic is that in those days, in my 20s, I plastered my face with liquid foundation…

Posted on December 23, 2024 By Sister Rain

In going through some boxes of items that belonged to my mom after her death, I found many of the things inside were actually my nana’s, who had passed away in 1996. I wish my mom had shown them to me when she brought them home from my nana’s but…

When Mister Rain was a boy, he had a GI Joe. Some forty plus years later, he still plays with dolls. And I have the pictures to prove it. My husband is the Chief Photographer here at Sister Rain LLC. In “From Hubby To Business”, I share the challenges he…

My Son Is A Beaky Eater

Posted on December 13, 2024 By Sister Rain

Piper fascinates me in many ways. It makes sense, after all, he is a parrot, I am not. Piper can sometimes be territorial over his favorite toys. For example, he may attack your hand if you are replacing the sticks he has pulled out of his hanging wood toy. At…
