Here we SNOW again
Being a native NJsian, there are certain things I have learned to deal with. Living close to the ocean-or as us natives call it-The SHORE is amazing.

On Sunday I walked
On Sunday I walked. I didn’t walk far, I didn’t walk for a long time, but I walked. I walked for myself, I walked for others, I walked for a cause. Many do not realized but October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Our color is purple. Our cause is a quiet one. People are not … Continue reading
If only Spiderman could fly
Today was the first day of school. First day of Kindergarten, First day of Day Care, First day of Pre-K. The picture is so deceiving. The kids look fed, happy and excited. But alas, as is the “normal” in my life there is more to this story. Let us rewind 12 hours. As I finally … Continue reading
