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.

Hooray for Halloween 2014!
Halloween 2014 was a hoot for the mom a la mode family, complete with parades, parties and lots and lots and lots of candy. Festivities began just about a week before Halloween with a Monster Mash at our local YMCA for the kiddies and culminated with an extravaganza at the home of our friends — […]

A favored local establishment for us is Applebee’s, for their kid-friendly atmosphere and menu.

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.
