Bronson is a really easy kid. He’s nice, funny, independent, and listens...
I’m not a fan of the whole Disney Princess thing. Yes, there are a couple good ones, but overall the dressing up in an antebellum gown, pretending to be vulnerable, waiting to be saved by a man…YAWN. I guess it’s good I don’t have girls or that my boys aren’t into princesses (aside from B […]
Courageous. Smart. Humanitarian. Talented. Beautiful. Of course I’m speaking of Angelina Jolie. The former Hollywood wild child is on her grown woman status. The 37 year old mother of 6 has revealed she underwent a double mastectomy in February. After genetic testing, she learned that she carries the BRCA1 gene thus having an estimated 87% risk of […]
“We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves.” -Henry Ward Beecher I never realized how unconditionally my parents love me until I had children. I blush as I reminisce on some of my childhood escapades. Regardless of my failures and arrests mistakes my parents were always there. They never shamed […]

With Summer around the corner, fitness challenges are popping up everywhere. Who are kidding? I’m not gonna sit around doing a gazillion push ups, planks, and pull ups. Pssssh!!!! In honor of Mother’s Day (May 12) I thought it would be fun to do a Mom Challenge for May. Some are easier than others, but […]
I just finished Mo’s birthday invites. As I reviewed his friend list the diversity of his classmates dawned on me. His invite list looked like a UN summit: Syrian, Russian, Latino, African American, Asian, Arab and Multiracial. At the tail end of his academic year at a new school I realized just how diverse Mo’s […]
I recently talked about how I withheld Mo from a weekend of soccer due to unacceptable grades. I got mixed feedback for doing this. Some parents thought I was being over the top for disciplining my 8 year old, while others said they understood. When I heard Patrick Peterson’s story, it made me smile. Former […]
