Mom Moment: Alexander – my Fashion Designer
Being sick all last week wasn’t fun, but if there could have been a silver lining, it was that I got to spend some extra special time with the boys. I canceled all of my trips last week and appointments that were outside the house, so I was home, all week… non-stop. On Wednesday morning, [...]
Why I Hate Being Sick in Pictures…
Out of 365 days of a year, I try not to get sick. Try is the operative word there. Sometimes there’s just nothing you can do about a head cold knocking you down and out. I’ll tell you this… when I am, the house falls apart. Literally, apart. Here’s a little snippet of why I [...]
Daily Diary: Why I HATE Waking Up Late
This morning we ALL woke up late. I mean, like… William needs to be at school at 8:30AM and I rolled over to see the numbers 8:13AM staring back at me. Talk about being in an instant-fast-forward mode, not fun for a Wednesday morning, not fun at all. I know we hardly ever let this [...]
“Stuff” My Sons Say…
I know I’ve said this before on my blog, but I’ll say it again. If you told me 7 years ago when I was pregnant with William (my first) that I would go on to have 3 more boys (in a row), I would have thought you were NUTS. Just plain NUTS. But 7 years [...]
Daily Diary: 10 Things I Love About Having Alex Home in the Mornings
Alexander was born into a family with an older brother that was exactly 12 months older than him. By the time Alexander turned 2 years old, he had a 6 month old baby brother and I was pregnant with his littlest brother. Long story short, this kid has never known what it’s like to be [...]
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 [...]
10 Things You Should Know Before Committing to Running a School Event
10 Things You Should Know Before Committing to Running a School Halloween Party I’ve decided to become more involved this year at our school’s PTO. My husband warned me that I wasn’t going to have enough time, but I thought to myself… “I’ll show him…” My mother was able to do it with 4 kids [...]
How to make an Apple Crisp
How to make an Apple Crisp… words I never thought would be coming out of my mouth, at least not on my blog. I’m a fashion girl, not a foodie. But… after my Apple Crisp bake-off with my sister DISASTER… (you know, where I tried to pretend a boxed apple crisp recipe was homemade), I [...]
How to spend the day when you’re waiting for “Daddy” to fly home!
When we first moved to Rhode Island from NYC, Matt had to go to NYC almost every week for work. It was tough, especially since I was pregnant and had 3 little ones at home. This time around it was easier with the boys, but… oh, I missed him so much! Yesterday his flight wasn’t [...]

My most recent Momversation video was on not being able to do it all and being OK with saying the word… NO… Please tell me I’m not alone feeling this way…
