On October 6th, 2000 we were blessed with the birth of our first child, a son. From that day till this, we’ve done our best to navigate the first time parenting thing. Over the [...] Read More
When I was little, my parents taught us, through example, to help others in need and never hesitate when given the opportunity to share our blessings with those who were less fortunate. We were a working class family, so money was always a little tight. But amazingly, all of our needs were met, and we always had enough left over to help others. Whether it was the down and out guy on the street corner, the immigrant widow who didn’t know where her children’s next meal would come form, the sick or the elderly; many of whom have no one [...] Read More

The Super Bowl is an American tradition. Over the years it has become less of a true sporting event and more of a major television event. America eagerly awaits the star-studded half-time show and the assorted NEW crop of commercials; even the non-sports lover stays tuned in to view! Oh, and yeah, there’s a football game too! This past Sunday, 108 million Americans were a captive audience to some of the most distasteful ads ever televised. I guess I wouldn’t have such an issue with the pervasiveness of these ads IF a great many of those viewers [...] Read More

That comment hit me so strongly. Not just because I have struggled with weight issues myself, but because that comment has been heard by young girls (and boys) who honestly equate being overweight with being ugly, worthless and yes, on the same level as their life being over!
As I turned on my computer this morning, my AOL homepage had a story [...] Read More
There’s little argument among most parents that the effects of technology are felt in almost every aspect of our kids’ lives. They carry their iPhones, iPads, tablets or Androids everywhere they go. These devices serve as their means of communication as well as their link to the internet and all other forms of entertainment. Face Time has replaced real face to face time. The desire to keep their lives an open book on social media is worrisome for many of us! Kids tweet where they’re going; where they’ve been; who they’ve been with, and even what they’re feeling, thinking [...] Read More
