  • HAPPY FATHER’s DAY!!

    Yesterday was a crazy day. For a good part of it, we had no internet connection. The entire community was down apparently. It made me think – what did we all do before we had it? My kids were upset, I was getting ansy  – crazy! After the graduation stuff on Friday – we took…

  • Today is a great day

    Today is one of those days that you sit down and shake your head because you can not believe how fast time has flown. My little baby – Baby Nate – is finishing kindergarten. He will be leaving the haven of the AOL Childcare Center private Kindergarten and in the fall will head to public…

  • Another weekend coming to a close

    I honestly don’t know if it was the run yesterday that brought dehydration upon me or that I am still getting over being sick, but I felt that I could sleep in all day. And I was cranky as all get out. I managed to gather the kids and head to the community pool for…

  • In the Zone Mothering

    I keep hearing how Kobe Bryant is in the zone right now – game face ready to win the NBA championship.  In the zone – allows an athlete to focus completely on the task at hand and not worry about anything else but the next shot, play, etc. I  was thinking about this and how…

  • Childhood Obesity Gets Hot As Summer Approaches

    Topics Education Three Sticks: Childhood Obesity Gets Hot As Summer Approaches. It makes a lot of sense–processed food is cheap so those lower income families eat more of it  — and summer time it can be worse because families can’t rely on the schools to handle some of the daily meals. It’s a vicious cycle…

  • getting lost in the gluttony

    Heading up to my home town, Cranford NJ for the weekend. A short weekend road trip to see my mom and my sister, Connie. We will hit NYC, the Jersey Shore and many many diners – I hope! 🙂 Nothing like New Jersey Diners.… If you have never been to one, you are missing a…

  • Breathe it all in

    It’s been a crazy day. I woke up to a light rain/mist in the air and decided to go for a run. I figured if it’s not raining heavy, it’s probably great weather for one. I ended up doing about 6mi on the trail. There were a few other runners out there with me and…
