I love the summer months, the hotter the better. It’s my favorite time of the year to get outside and either walk or jog as a great form of exercise. It gives me energy to feel the hot sun on my face and the ability to push further and further every day. As soon as […]
My body matters
February 8, 2012 · by · 3 Comments
The thing about the internet and social media is that news spreads quickly, sometimes like an out-of-control forest fire. If what’s being shared is amazing and incredible we all share in a collective cheer, but when the news is sad our hearts are heavy and the desire to hold our loved ones a little closer is powerful.

8th Grade Night at the High School
February 7, 2012 · by · 2 Comments
Last week Nick and I attended an informational meeting for parents and students who would be entering high school in the upcoming school year. Although Cody is a few years older than Nick, this whole experience was a first for me in many ways. While Cody entered entered high school with an IEP in place, […]
Bertolli Weeknight meal Challenge
February 2, 2012 · by · 7 Comments
I’m the first to admit that I’m horrible when it comes to meal planning. The thought of sitting down and organizing several days of meals at one time isn’t exactly my idea of fun. I’ve probably taken for granted the fact that I live about two minutes from the grocery store and can just run and grab […]

I love the opportunity this show offers to those who might not otherwise get exposure, especially the most talented ones. It’s an amazing chance to make […]
My son owes me a kiss
January 23, 2012 · by · Leave a Comment
Nick is one of the most affectionate kids that I know. For his age of thirteen that’s a big deal, at least that’s what I hear. Many other Moms have told me it’s been years since their kids gave them a hug, or GASP, a kiss, in public. I dare say that some of them […]
Thoughts at the dentist office
January 12, 2012 · by · 4 Comments
I recently took Cody and Nick to the dentist for their routine cleanings and it all went mostly well. I say mostly because Nick had a cavity so of course we had to discuss yet again that when I ask him to brush and floss his teeth it isn’t because I’m being a mean Mom, […]
Happy Birthday Nana

When I was a child I don’t remember ever thinking about the people I loved being gone from my life, more specifically, I don’t recall being afraid of them dying. I was very fortunate to have breezed through my entire childhood without losing a loved one or having to attend a funeral, I wish I could […]
