Ushering in the Holidays with Sprout and a Letter from Santa

Ushering in the Holidays with Sprout and a Letter from Santa

Anyone who has dealt with a loss will tell you that the first set of holidays are always the hardest. So frankly, I was prepared to have a rather lousy Thanksgiving, ridden with anxiety. I’m happy to report that it was quite the opposite: it was a Thanksgiving filled with joy, surprises, peace and calm. […]

What the Teacher Wants You to Know: A Must-Read for Parents

As the daughter of a former principal and a former school teacher, and a close friend to many teachers, I’ve been privy to stories of all types as they relate to parent and student interactions.  And there have been times that I was shocked at the audacity of some parents and touched by the sensitivity […]

A la Mode on the Road: Our Weekend in Lancaster County, PA

My family and I recently visited Pennsylvania Dutch Country in Lancaster County for a little summer weekend getaway. We packed quite a bit of fun into the 36 hours we spent (we had to get home in time for my nephew’s 2-month birthday!), and my family and I agreed that one can easily spend 3-4 […]

Sampling the Season’s Best Flavors at Applebee’s {Giveaway Closed}

After a weeknight’s worth of home-cooked dinners, my family and I like to hit the town for supper on Friday nights. A favored local establishment for us is Applebee’s, for their kid-friendly atmosphere and menu. Despite being a chain restaurant, fresh, seasonal flavors can be found – and are done surprisingly well! – making Applebee’s […]

Good Grief: A Reflection

It’s been just about 4 months since my mom has left this world. There are times it feels like yesterday, and there are times it feels like it happened 4 years ago. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the cruel, cold winter that we all pulled out from here in the Northeast. My situation aside, it […]

Monster Jam Path of Destruction Hits MetLife Stadium, 6/14 {Ticket Giveaway Closed}

Back in February, my family and I had the chance to experience our very first Monster Jam at the IZOD Center.   My son, husband and brother-in-law were really excited to meet the drivers, get up close to the trucks in the pit and then of course, enjoy the action-packed show.  Because it was held indoors, […]
