Brian and I gave a tour of the first floor of our new home the other day. Let’s be honest – it could’ve used a little more energy. So for the tour of the second unit of our home (second and third floors), I thought I’d include the excitement value that only four brothers can [...]

Squinkies are the boys’ latest obsession. You literally can’t walk through a room in our house without finding several of them around the room. I wasn’t really sure how they’d react to them, but I was really surprised. I guess I shouldn’t have been! Squinkies are squishy rubber figures about an inch high. There are [...]

It’s not often that I get as excited about a new game as the boys, but when I was at the Time To Play Toy Fair in New York City a month ago I saw something that caught my eye. I walked up to a large flatscreen on which a guy was playing Skylanders Spyro’s [...]

Dream Day: P&G Beauty Photo Shoot

Right about this time, I’ll start getting the calls from my parents, my in-laws, my brothers and sister and my sister-in-laws… “What do the boys want for Christmas?” And the tough thing is, each one of my sons want something different… and beyond that, to be honest with you… it’s tough to keep track!

Monday Must-Have: UGGs I know… I know… they’re so old-school and so last year, right? (I’ve been hearing that from many people lately.) But I just don’t agree… and think everyone’s wrong! I’ll never forget the first time I saw a pair of UGGs. It was my first day on campus at Brown as a [...]

Mom and my Dad took a trip to the Midwest from Thursday-Sunday, traveling to/around Chicago, Notre Dame and Valparaiso. They took in the sights and scenes of Chicago, a city that is part of my [...]
Work, Life and Balance
Work, Life and Balance. Is there really such a thing? When I was a little girl, there were 2 things I really wanted to be. 1) A mother 2) Businesswoman. I never really knew what “business” meant as a little girl, but I remember driving through downtown Providence and looking up at the buildings (which [...]
