Today might just be the biggest day of my life. As far as big days go, I’ve had a few: 1. The day I was born. 2. The day I got my driver’s license. 3. The day I graduated college. 4. The day I got married 5. The days I gave birth. 6. The day […]

BooBoo turned 4 today! My once little lovebug is now a rough and tumble PreK kid ready to take on the world. No matter how big you get BooBoo, I’ll always remember you like this: Happy Birthday my sweet boy. I love you.
My 9/11 Story

September 11, 2001 began like any other Tuesday. I was 25 years old, married and working for the man. In an instant the world stood still as we witnessed images more tragic and heartbreaking than we had ever seen in our own backyard. This was no ordinary Tuesday at all. On this infamous day I […]

You know how when you were little and you really wanted those Wonder Woman wrist cuffs but would have settled for those magical Jem – truly outrageous, truly, truly, truly outrageous earrings? Me too. We were dying for super powers because inside we felt bigger and bolder than our little bodies allowed us to be. Time marched […]
This is Your Life

I love reading things like this. I love it. A lot of these things take tremendous bravery. Sharing your inspiring dream and taking risks are scary. Really scary – but usually totally worth it. To those of you who are out on a limb, who made the difficult or unpopular choice to follow your bliss, who can’t […]
Sappy Like a Tree

So lately I find myself super emo about like everything. Boy Wonder held the door open for a stranger. In that moment I felt pride, and totally shocked happy he remembered to do it. BooBoo struck up a spirited convo with an old lady in line at the grocery store about how Iron Man was cooler than Spiderman; […]
