The Active Family

I am so blessed. Trust me when I say that. My family has thus far weathered the storm very well, we have jobs, a home, and everyone is healthy.  My extended family and friends have not been so lucky, and I take that very seriously. We have cousins that have been out of work all [...]

It is no secret amongst my friends that I don’t like taking the kids out on NYE, and there isn’t really any place else I’d rather be than with my kiddos ringing in the new year. Although Boston has a kickin’ First Night, I just can’t see taking a three year old, a seven year [...]

Today is December 7th, the anniversary of a day that will live in infamy. Yet when I go to the homepage of cnn.com, not one SINGLE mention of Pearl Harbor is to be seen. Plenty of crap about the dumbass pilots who over shot the airport by a freaking hour, but not a note about [...]

Woohooo! I wasn’t going to buy the silly things anyway, but at least now I have a reasonably valid excuse as to why. On the news and in various publications is the story that a San Fransisco company found dangerous levels of toxic chemicals on the nose and fur of the ZhuZhu Pets they tested.

I’m turning the big 3-0 in a few weeks, and I have no problem with it! I am soooo done with my twenties. I’m sure if I hadn’t started a family so young I would still want to hold on tight to my youth, but I’m ready to move on and get all grown up. [...]
