This time of year everyone seems eager to find ways to give back, and particularly right now in our area in light of the recent devastation of Hurricane Sandy, many of my friends and fellow bloggers are organizing fundraisers and donation centers to help those who have lost homes and belongings. Going into the holidays, I expect to… Continue Reading →
Every year during the holiday season, we look for several ways to give back to those less fortunate. Sure, we spend our fair share of time making Christmas lists and decking the halls, but I also want to show my kids how to give — to each other, to friends and family members, and also… Continue Reading →
WHY is it that stories like this are becoming more and more common? Is it because I’m getting older? Is it because the world is smaller?

It’s that time of year again! The holidays are just around the corner (hey! don’t shoot the messenger!) and I’ve already been thinking about family portraits.

Tomorrow I’ll be participating in another chat over at TheMotherhood.com. Once again, we will be discussing food allergies, and this time we will focus on how to manage food allergies with kids at playdates, sleepovers and summer camp. This topic, as many of you know, is near and dear to my heart, as my son… Continue Reading →
This post was supposed to be written before the holidays, but I had so much going on, the email got buried, and I sort of forgot about it. When I found it this morning at the bottom of my lengthy to-do list, I decided to write the post right here and now. Christmas Day is… Continue Reading →

Of course you know about the devastation this week in Haiti. Perhaps you want to give and have no idea where to start. Sometimes it’s hard to know what charitable organization you can trust. I trust Compassion. I support a child through Compassion, and I have been thrilled with the communication I have received from… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
