Women talk about all kinds of things with each other… Women have gathered together throughout all history and across all cultures to talk.  To share.  To ask and to explain. To ease worries and to give comfort.  To whisper secrets and I hesitate to use this word, but gossip.  To laugh and giggle and sometimes cry. We talk about fashion, [...]

Hi all, I copied and pasted the article from the Providence Journal today, written by feature writer Jenna Pelletier. With the snow piled high outside her Warwick home, Audrey McClelland sits on the couch in her pajamas enjoying a cozy family night with her four sons. The boys, ranging in age from 2 to 6 years old, are gathered around [...]

I’ve landed in San Diego! BlogHer weekend has already kicked off to a perfect start! One of my best friend’s from college lives in San Diego and she came to pick me and Vera up from the airport and took us out to lunch! It was the perfect way to kick off BlogHer!

I started blogging (full-time) in 2007.  I was VERY pregnant with Benjamin and was trying the best I could to keep up with a 2 year and an 18 month old (it wasn’t easy). Writing my blog helped me get through the craziness of trying to raise (at that time) 2 little boys and being pregnant with another! I remember [...]

(That link will take you to a “private blog” message, by the way. Sorry! More on that later.) My first post wasn’t profound or really [...]

When I started blogging back in January 2007, my life was decidedly different than it is now. I lived in a different city, in a house I owned. I was married with two dogs, Ryder and Bismarck. (Bismarck would pass away that July.) I did not yet have my dog Seth. (Seth would come into the family that September.) I [...]
