We seem to get a lot of conflicting advice about what’s good and what’s bad for us, what would should eat and what we shouldn’t eat, what we need more of and what we need less of. Sometimes – actually, a lot of times – the information changes after we’ve been told something is good (or bad) for a number [...]

When I took the Puristics Challenge way back in February, the last thing on my mind was SUMMER. My winter skin needs care and moisturizing, especially because I run outside all winter long.  Puristics gave me exactly what I needed with the purity I wanted.  My skin felt velvety soft and clean and pure all day long and all night [...]

In the almost 5 months that we’ve been working with Puristics as spokespeople, we at Mom Generations have had the chance to become quite acquainted with the products. Friends have asked me about Puristics, naturally, and if I really do love the products. And the answer is yes, of course! I would never promote products I didn’t use myself and [...]

I always get nervous around this time of year because I know that summertime brings big-time diaper rash for my guys. This summer I’m particularly focused on my only diaper wearing little man, Henry. My 4 sons have the most sensitive skin in the world, and I have to admit, I think they get it from me. My mother has [...]

Very early this morning, I was editing a little piece I was working on about the Foxglove… a lovely flowering plant with a long stalk of whimsical bell-shaped flowers forming what resembles a delightful little glove.  I had received the Foxglove as a gift on Mothers Day and I was excited to add it to my garden and to a [...]

I’ve talked a bit before about how when I write about the Pure Protection products from Puristics, I’m pretty much speaking to a particular audience: women. Sure, men with girlfriends, wives and/or daughters might (and probably should) have some interest – if only to say, “Honey, you may want to look into these products” – but I’m willing to bet [...]

It’s always intriguing to me how each moment of our lives has the potential to change everything. Places we go, things we do, people we meet… moments strung together like little knots on a golden thread. I remember with perfect recollection the moment my daughter Jane told me about a woman named Sarah.  Jane and I were driving from the [...]

Earlier this month, I did one of those “Mom Things” that all mothers find themselves doing… jumping in and helping out. My daughter Audrey had been invited to a fashion event in New York City.  This event was an evening function, making it impossible to hop on a train back to Rhode Island after the event.  Audrey wanted to be [...]

If you followed my posts from my recent vacation to south Florida, you know Brian and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful, warm sunshine, as well as the opportunity to just relax (ahhhh!) poolside and at the beach. It was also the first time since we at Mom Generations began working with Puristics that I’ve spent a lot of time outside [...]

Something happened to me a couple of weeks ago that I wasn’t quite prepared for… It was a Friday night and my husband and I were taking two of our grandchildren to dinner and then to a movie.  We let the kids choose the restaurant and the movie.  That was the easy part. Where the conversation went with my 10-year [...]
