The Magic Of Disney
Last week my family and I returned from the most magical place on earth, Disney World. We returned with a bucket full of core memories, a stronger bond, full hearts, a couple souvenirs and stories we will share for years to come. The last time we went to Disney my...
Backwards in High Heels
Is there such a thing as mom burnout because if that’s a diagnosis, I’d like to be prescribed 5 days alone, with hot, healthy meals cooked for me, all housework and laundry done upon my return, bubbly warm baths and a nice massage to start each day and end each...
The Teenage Era
My mom once told me that we don’t truly measure time until we have children of our own. This week I felt that deeply. My daughter, the oldest, the one who made me a mom turned 13 and I felt like just yesterday I was cradling her in my arms,...
A Hard Working Love Story
Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m a sucker for a good love story. I love romantic comedies, happy endings and the cheesier you deem it, the more endearing I find it. I also, however, wish one bad break up on everyone because I believe that you need to go...
Live Like Dave
Seven years ago today life was thrown into perspective. Cancer took another victim and heaven gained another angel. The sweetest woman I’ve ever met and someone I’m lucky enough to call my friend Kim, lost her husband that morning. He was young, he was vibrant, he was optimistic, he was...

There’s No Place Like Home
We are three weeks out from Christmas and in my household that equals mayhem. Our youngest is up at 6am as she is just so excited to find our Elf that the sound of her scampering feet and little giggles mean that the entire household is up at 6am. Some...
Leaving a Legacy
Once upon a time I worked in the wonderful world of television and not just television but entertainment television. I say, “Once Upon A time” because it really was a fairytale. It was a job I loved with people I loved and allowed me to travel the country listening to...
Dividing Our Time
We needed this. We needed this time to connect. To remind ourselves of why we said ‘I do’ in the first place. It wasn’t a week away on an island or a fancy dinner for two at the new ‘it’ restaurant, it was simply a few hours out on the...
Anxiety without Shame
Anxiety… that funny seven letter word that has been thrown about for the last two years and shunned by many as a negative personality trait and label to be worn as someone who is high stress and tied tight. But I laugh at that label; crumple it up and throw...
