I’m on a mission to get more fit this summer, and it’s not always easy with our busy schedule. Just today, we packed in a tour to the Fire Station, a fun-filled time swimming at the local pool,  a hair cut, and a hair-raising battle between the Ultimate Spidermen (pitted against the forces of evil) — all mishmashed between my …

Ok, so, they DO eat something, but it’s not usually the meal that we plan for them. Yes,  he’ll eat a bowl-full of carrots, or  whole cantaloupe in one  sitting. He loves bacon, and adores mac-and-cheese (as long as it’s the “right” kind). Together, the boys devour bell peppers and salads. You’d think they were rabbits… Sometimes, it seems as …

And life is too short to waste.” – Srikumar Rao My son: …

“He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.” – Clarence Budington Kelland Everyone seems to be making resolutions for the New Year, and while I have goals for 2015, I find myself thinking more about the fact that my son is growing up too fast. So, what I would really like to …

It’s Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, so I’ve been thinking about my cherished moments, growing up. Every Thanksgiving, we’d go to my grandparents’ house. My grandmother and aunt putting together all those culinary delights the day before.
