I feel so very fortunate that my Mom and my Dad are two of my best friends. I know I speak for myself and my 3 siblings, too, when I say that our parents have always made us feel loved and encouraged in everything we’ve done. I know I gave my parents some challenging parenting moments, especially during my teenage [...]

You know those days on your life’s calendar that you’ve come to accept… but that you’ve been dreading? Yesterday was one of those life calendar days for me. My Mom had surgery scheduled for early yesterday morning.  I was awake all the previous night.  Tossing.  Turning.  Trying to turn off the thinking. I got out of bed at 4:00 am.  [...]

Is anyone else shocked that the 4th of July has already come and gone? The summer is already flying by! I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th! We are living right on the parade route in Bristol, RI, home to the longest continuously-running Independence Day parade in the country, so we had a big pahty. It was so much fun! [...]

Don’t let the tough exterior fool you… … Brian is a total romantic. And that is the reason I already have the wedding band I will wear when we get married – and I actually have been wearing it for over a year. You see, when Brian was a young chap of about 8 years old, he was vacationing in [...]

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 [...]

As we all know, juggling family, friends, career, housework, exercise – and everything else in our lives – is a challenge. Sometimes there are just too many balls up in the air and one (or more) things go on the back burner. For the last few months, I have been a bit sporadic with my fitness routine. Yes, a few [...]

I have to admit, leading up to the Royal Wedding I was pretty ho-hum about the whole affair. Waking up at 4:00 a.m. to watch it was not on my to-do list. In fact the morning of the wedding, as I was sound asleep around 6:00 a.m., Brian came into the bedroom and asked me if I wanted to wake [...]

Each week throughout 2011 I will share how I am giving back somehow, whether it’s by offering my resources, my time, my talents or my support. Giving back doesn’t have to be on a grand scale. And doesn’t have to be about money. Oftentimes charities, organizations, causes and foundations need support beyond donations. And that’s what I’m going to try [...]

My mom and I have already established that 4all by jofit gear keeps us looking fabulous and feeling great while we stay fit – whether we’re running, biking or rock climbing! My mom even ran her recent marathon in her 4all Classic V-Neck Tank because of its comfort and style factor. So we were excited for the chance to try [...]

I love my dogs and I love my nieces and nephews. So anything that allows me to combine these loves? Well, of course I love. Audrey is my only dog-less sibling, but I have my two dogs and Audrey’s husband’s sisters both have dogs, so Audrey’s boys have lots of 4-legged cousins in their lives. My nephews have always been [...]
