Please join me tomorrow, Monday the 10th, for a Twitter Party with Mom Select for She Colors My Day. The She Colors My Day project began when a mother named Annette, dying of breast cancer, created a keepsake for the four daughters she was preparing to leave behind. Annette sent a c.d. of she and…

Today my son turned four years old. His birth four years ago was the best Mother’s Day present I could have ever received. I’m blessed to share this special holiday with him. Happy Birthday, baby boy.

This morning as I was driving my son to soccer, I noticed a spider scurry across the inside of my windshield and hide in the interior of the windshield frame. Realizing that the spider might decide to lower himself on to me at any point on the rest of the drive, I panicked. What would…

This morning on the way to pre-school, my son and I were rocking out to country music when he said to me, “Mom, is this rock and roll?” When I told him it was Country I then went on to explain that they make most of this type of music in Nashville, the city where…

Next weekend my baby is turning four, and we will be celebrating with a Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman themed birthday party. When my daughter was born I launched a tradition of elaborate (crazy) cakes, but I have since come to my senses. The main character on Fetch! is a dog. Why not make dog bone…

Earlier this month my family spent the morning at the National Aquarium in Washington, DC. While we have been to the Baltimore location many times, this little treasure hidden in the basement of the Commerce Building was a new experience for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and will absolutely be returning often. Thank…

Last February my family attended Disney’s Social Media Moms Celebration, and while we were blessed to be far away from the three feet of snow that blanketed the ground here at home, Florida was far from hot and steamy. During the Friday full day of sessions, my husband and family braved the Magic Kingdom in…

Today was Team Emma’s third time walking in the March of Dimes March for Babies and we are thrilled to announce that we were only a couple hundred dollars short of our $3,000 team wide goal. This was our first time walking on the National Mall, which was a wonderful experience. Despite the rain that…

Those of you who have been reading for more than a year may remember the pictures from Team Emma’s March for Babies experience last year. We had an absolutely stunning day, and the event meant so much more because for the first time we talked to our preemie about those who never came home from…

You may remember that four months ago I had the opportunity to review and giveaway a new TouchSmart Webprinter from HP (product and compensation provided).

This Thursday afternoon Music Box Films and RAINN are holding an event at the E Street Landmark Theater in DC. If you are interested in attending, please find the…

It’s spring cleaning time! This time of year I frequent Freecycle as I realize that items necessary for family fun last year no longer hold my growing children’s interest, or I finally give up on those pre-kid shorts and send my husband to the closest charity drop-off point. But today is different. I’m getting ready…

About a year ago my daughter discovered The Magic School Bus series of books through Scholastic order forms she brought home from pre-school. Quickly our collection grew from one book to ten, and now Emma and Noah sit together as they decipher what the students are saying in the bubbles and guess where The Friz…

I’ve never been great at bedtimes. Even as I write this, it’s thirty minutes past when I really should go to bed if I’ve got a snowball’s chance in heck of feeling rested tomorrow. But I’m a night owl, so here I am, typing away on my laptop in bed. When I was a child…

Today I took my dad to meet my friend’s new puppy. She mentioned that originally they considered buying both Brady and his sister. I oohed and ahhed, but my dad shook his head and said, “If you want your puppy to follow your lead and learn how to behave, it’s best that you train him…
