I had to stay at home today with a sick kid. I don’t know how some of you moms do it. It’s 4:30p and I’m still in my pj’s. So I’m waiting for my B to come home from shook on the bus. He normally doesn’t take the bus, but stays for extended day. I…
It’s been quite a year in my house with various illnesses. I would say this is rare. However, there is not one winter/spring time in my life where I don’t remember being healthy. In between my asthma/allergies, October-March really just means sick. Thankfully, none of that has seemed to spread to my family. The worst…
It has been a marathon weekend! Aside from Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day is hands down the family favorite. There are many reasons why we go all out for the holiday. But the main reason is due to my grandparents. My Grandfather went by the nickname “Irish.” It wasn’t until I was about 12 or so…
I hope all my friends have a safe and fabulous St. Patrick’s Day!

My high school had a pretty awesome television program. Remember, this was back in 1990-1994, before everyone had a camera in their pocket. I was super lucky that we had this amazing technology and resources back then. It really did point me in the direction where I’ve taken my career. My senior year, I even…
**This is another post from my 9-year-old son, Brendan. I’ve given him the option of blogging once/week or reading 40 minutes on the weekends. Since he hates reading, he’s choosing to write. Which I love….I hope you do to. Much like his last blog, I have done NO EDITING!!! Please comment below – he loves…
February 2013: 265.48 miles on the bike – 164,108 pounds lifted. Yes – I’m pretty proud of my process. I made THREE different boards at the YMCA this month. The one below for total weight lifted. Another for most workouts (36) and another for total workout days (18). But at the end of the day…
The following is a blog/movie review written by my 9-year-old son. He was lucky enough to go to the Disney Parks Blog Oz meetup this weekend. Participants got to see the new movie, “Oz the Great and Powerful” before it opens to the public on March 8. There are spoilers – so you’ve been warned!!!…
