Sunday night one of my best friends from college, Mara, came to dinner. She lives in Arizona so I usually only see her a couple of times a year, but whenever she is in town she always comes over to drink wine with Louie and I. After we drank our chardonnay, ate salmon and…

How did she get to be so old?
With graduations, promotions and last days of school happening everywhere I am sure many of you are feeling how I felt today. How did my kid get to be so old? Well today, Trinity, the baby of our family rode her bike to school all by herself. She has been harassing us for months…
My feelings were hurt…..
Someone texted something to me today that really hurt my feelings. The weird thing was that it totally caught me off guard and then I got super upset. I got all fired up and was about to lash out at them but then realized it wasn’t worth damaging our relationship over a little statement. …
Tiara, soon to be a freshman….
I was just thinking about the end of the year activities for Trinity and realized that if Tiara was still attending school she would be graduating from 8th grade in a few weeks. How did that happen? Wow, I can’t believe that she is supposed to be going to high school in September. I…
Wow, it really does look like summer…
Clearly, I am having a little an obsession with my town, since I posted about it yesterday but today instead of driving around Newport I got to ride my bike. I love riding my bike to the beach! I grew up across the street from the beach but now I live about 5 or…

Detoxing from an overdose of Sprinkles cupcakes……
I guess you are probably wondering how many did I eat, that I need to detox? Well, I ate 5 Sprinkles cupcakes on Mother’s Day. I know, I know….. I just couldn’t help myself, I have a serious sugar problem once I get started. Well, the truth is I was revving up for a…
What do I really want for Mother’s Day?
No, I am not going to say a cure for Tuberous Sclerosis or an end to world hunger, this is not a beauty pageant blog but a reality blog. Seriously, every time my hubby asks me what I want for Christmas, my birthday, our anniversary or Mother’s Day my answer is always the same,”Nothing.”…
