When I was a little girl, my uncle bought me a pair of Clark’s shoes. To say I loved these shoes would be putting it mildly. They were black suede loafers with a slight heel (maybe an inch and a half or so). I remember feeling so sophisticated and grown […]
Oh. My. Gosh. Six things that I say that I don’t want my children to repeat? Yikes! I don’t even want to type them for fear they may read them. Kidding. Mom doesn’t have a potty mouth, but she does have some spectacular expressions: 1. “Freakin’ A, dude!” (can be […]

For three months in 2001, the twenty-four members of Shelter Now International (SNI) are held hostage in the days leading up to the September 11th attacks. This […]
I’m a sappy mom. I admit it. I mean, I talk a good game but when it comes down to it I’m a softie when it comes to my babies. I cry when I look at their baby pictures. I have a small, disgusting, collection of cracked baby teeth in […]
