One of the good things about living back at home with my parents right now is that since they live about a mile from Audrey and her family - and Audrey’s boys pretty much love nothing more than going over to Grandma and Pop-up’s house - I get to see my nephews (or at least [...]

When I wrote a post recently about how I’m going through a little rough patch in my personal life, I mentioned how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful, supportive family to help me through it. The comments I received on that post said much of the same (again, THANK YOU for all your [...]

Sometimes impromptu plans end up being the most fun.
On Saturday I was at my parents’ house with my dogs. My nephews William and Alex were over, too, getting ready to go sledding. My parents asked if I wanted to come, but I had a little to-do list for work that I wanted to get started [...]

Three years ago today you came into this world on a gorgeous early Fall day in New York City. From the first moment I held you in my arms, I have adored and loved you as this little bundle of energy and joy. You always have a big smile on your face… and you [...]
