I wanted to announce the winner of the Book Of Virtues for Young People, on Friday, but it was my Grandpa’s birthday and I really needed to go visit his grave and get some peace. In fact, I spent a few days at his house, just to release some of my grief, so that I […]
…but taking care of your exterior is not a bad idea either! How many of you have looked in the mirror lately to see a less than youthful appearance? I am one of those mommies that often puts off taking care of my skin because it is just not a priority. Your skin should be […]
Yes, “weird” - that’s the term one of them used recently when I felt strongly that a 15-year-old had NO business going to a 9:45 PM movie with is girlfriend and some of her friends. Albeit, the parents were going to take them, drop them off, pick them up and bring them home - but […]

Have you taken a trip to the Mall in the last - ohhh. ummm. Fifteen years? What do you see? A bunch of women (and men) who really do believe that 40 is the new 20. They dress it. They act it. They live it.
I feel sorry for young teenage boys - and here’s […]
Ever had one of those days when your head feels like it is going to split down the middle? Or maybe you just plain feel like crap, but errands still have to be run, meals cooked and the house cleaned? That would be today, for me. I woke up with this headache and it has […]
I love scouring mommy blogs for two things, funny stories and cool products. I’ve stumbled upon so many best kept secrets in the world of kid/mommy products and I want to pass some of them on you. Here are two lists, one for the kids and one for you. Feel free to leave your feedback if you’ve ever […]
Passing notes during study hall is old hat for teens - apparently the “in” thing is flirting via text and sending nudie shots via pix messaging.
The instant text, picture and video messages have become part of some teens’ courtship behavior, police and school officials said. The messages often spread quickly and sometimes find their way […]
