  • Family Time

      3 generations of family. You forget how comfortable you are around people you are related too.  It was a good weekend, lots of memories for my Mom. 

  • Locks of Love

    I’m beyond proud of my little girl HB. She decided today to donate her hair to Locks of Love. Snip, Snip, Snip 12 inches gone. She looks beyond beautiful and hasn’t had a second thought about it. She told me – now she doesn’t have to brush her hair. love her. After:

  • Live like Steve Jobs — Love what you do.

    Live Like Steve Jobs, Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it…

  • Working on your relationships

    You know what I love? On my drive home I see older couples walking. Many of them are Asian or Indian — just walking, together. It’s early in the morning and they are walking. Some walk fast, some slow but they walk together. That’s seriously one of the secrets of staying youthful and together. Exercise…

  • Worn Out WOD

    I gotta be honest — I am feeling overwhelmed. It’s the busy season for my company, and especially my team which handles new parents enrolling their families in online schools.

    It’s important to take time to remember the things in life that make it special. That sometimes means leaving all the digital stuff and being present in the moments you have with your family. Our roadtrip to Monticello, Williamsburg and Busch Gardens was so fun. We had a lot of laughs, got to know our…

  • Founding Fathers

    Life is so short and kids grow up too fast, which is why we decided to take the kids on mini roadtrip around the state of Virginia. We live in such a historical place and rarely take the time to appreciate & enjoy it so that’s exactly what we are doing. We woke up early,…

  • I Had Cancer Community

    Great new community I Had Cancer in the news. Having been a caregiver, I can tell you finding a community easily that gets what you are going through is really important. You have all these questions and no one place to find the answers in most cases. It’s nice to talk to others who have…

  • Bad Economy means Great Deals

    Thought this story may be interesting to some of my fellow parents: The bad economy’s upside? Great coupons. The good news about the bad economic news? Prolonged economic misery has created a heyday for bargains. Coupons are better. Maybe the best they’ll ever be. Scouring for deals is nothing new. It’s been the American family…
