I’m not a pack-rat. I’m certainly not a hoarder. But I do (some may even say “unnecessarily”) save things. Take this little number, for example. It’s a Martian Cereal Spoon Sitter. He’s blue. He’s dressed in a molded blue uniform, space helmet and all. His little antennae went missing some time over the 5 or so decades I’ve been carrying [...]

I’m feeling emotional today. I don’t know why, but I’m finding it easy to tear up about any little thing. Like this morning, when I saw Brian’s Boston Maraton race package. Even though I haven’t received mine in the mail yet (it’s being re-routed from my NYC address… get on that, USPS!), seeing his race booklet made it really sink [...]

Sylvania is challenging families to be more energy-efficient in their – 40 for the Future – Earth Day Challenge. I decided to get my family into the challenge – my whole family! I figure if I’m going to be making changes in our household, I want my sons to see the changes and understand (as best as they can) why [...]

I’m in the process of doing this right now! Well… getting 4 Easter Outfits for Boys. We celebrate the Easter holiday, and it’s important that the boys get dressed up and look all-so-handsome for our Easter celebration with our family. With boys, many people just think a “blah” suit, but you really can have some fun! Here are 5 Easter [...]

Wearable Spring 2010 Fashion Trends for Moms. Does anyone remember some of the infamous Spring 2009 Fashion Trends – jumpsuits, minis and bondage dresses. I think it’s safe to say it’s a good thing those trends are a thing of the “past.” So what about this Spring? Every season brings a bunch of trends, it’s just a matter of knowing [...]

For those who celebrate Easter, it’s right around the corner. It also means it’s time to get some beautiful Easter outfits. When I was a little girl, I remember my mother taking me and my sister to go get our “Easter outfits.” We would search for hours, and then finally find “the” one. Both my sister and I would dress [...]

Have you seen Gisele Bundchen on the cover of Vogue’s April Issue? Um……. yeah, she looks gorgeous. Nothing new, right? I will say… I went into reading the article by Joan Juliet with my eyes already rolling. Before even glancing at a word, I thought to myself…. what is a multi-ga-billionaire-super-uber-model-new-mom going to teach me about parenting? Apparently the only [...]

Spring Shoe Alert: WEDGES ARE BACK! When you’re 5 feet, you live in heels – especially when you’re married to a 6’2″ tall man and have a 5 yr old who is practically your own height! I’m always on the hunt for some great new shoes… I take after my own mother with my love of shoes. Every since Payless [...]

I hate to fly. No, really. I’m not just a little scared. I don’t just not like flying. I am terrified of it. I know it’s a fear that I share with many people, but with all due respect, my fear kicks ALL of y’all’s butts. Don’t believe me? Has your fear of flying ever made you cancel a vacation [...]

I’m excited to announce today (in honor of almost Earth Month!) that I have partnered up with Scotties Facial Tissues to help them spread the word about how they are a fabulous soft “green” solution for families. I’m not exaggerating when I say from the beginning of November till about 2 weeks ago, someone in my house had a head [...]
