My husband is beginning to know names. Which makes it easier when I’m talking about events and conferences coming up and funny stories and tidbits that involve my SOCIAL MEDIA FRIENDS. Oh yes… my husband knows them… Yes, they’re real. And I’ve got blog posts and tweets and facebook messages and photos from blog conferences [...]
Let’s hear it for the boys…
Last Saturday, my husband and I took our two granddaughters ice skating as part of their Christmas gift from us. But today, it was all about the boys. Duckpin bowling with the boys, that is. For Christmas, we gave each of our older four grandsons a real bowling pin with a promise to take them [...]

Filed under Audrey, Mom Fashion Report
Let me set the scene. I took William, Alexander and Benjamin with me shopping last week. We hit some of my good ol’ favorites – TJ Maxx, GAP, Banana Republic, J.Crew and Old Navy. While at Old Navy, I found 4 pairs of jeans that I absolutely loved. The kind of I-have-to-buy-them LOVE. But… William [...]

I am participating in my very first triathlon this morning. I’m nervous. I’m excited. I’m everything right now. This was one of my New Year Resolutions – take care of myself health-wise. And so, to kick off this NEW YEAR – I’m heading to the YMCA to do a mini-triathlon with my husband. I was [...]
A Webkinz Pet and a competitive grandma
Yesterday afternoon, Audrey stopped at my home on her way to the supermarket… with all 4 boys. Once inside, William and Alex begged me to play games with them. They have discovered my game hiding place – under the bed in the “yellow” bedroom up the back staircase. How could I say anything but a [...]

Today is the DAY. As much as I don’t want it to be… it’s time. The cleaning/cleansing/purging/organizing of my closets. I’ve been avoiding this for – well… maybe 2 years. Using my pregnant status as a great excuse… but now, it’s time. I need to get the clothes in order. I have way too many [...]

As most of you know, I’m doing 365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms. What kind of advice? Well… easy/do-able/smart Fashion Advice for Moms. When we become mothers… our “me” time shifts and changes. That’s not a bad thing… not at all. But sometimes (ok, often) we begin to take a gigantic back seat to [...]
A Polar Plunge and Pink Pig Cookies…
Yes, we did it. Barry and I headed to Rhode Island’s pristine Narragansett Pier Town Beach and began 2009 with a plunge. A Polar Plunge, that is! Hundreds of people (some plunging, some watching) gathered in the frigid cold to welcome the New Year with an exhilarating, well… plunge. Air temperature at noon – 17 [...]

Happy Happy Happy New Year! 2009… it’s going to be a GREAT year! Last night, with my husband and my Henry, I watched “the ball” drop in Times Square (on television!). My 3 older sons were all fast asleep… Benjamin in his crib, Alexander in his bed and William on the couch. William tried as [...]
