Rearing children is the most difficult job on earth. One reason for this difficulty is the absence of an instruction manual. No one knows HOW to be a successful parent. We just do what we do and wish for the best. The second reason for this challenge is the job is never ending. Being a… Continue reading Cradle To Stage

A Social Media Story
Social media is an equally dangerous and wondrous entity. It gives us access to information we wouldn’t otherwise be able to access- information that could be beneficial or detrimental. Moreover, social media connects us with people half-way across the world that we’d never meet face to face. There are a plethora of “friends” I have… Continue reading A Social Media Story

And though my youngest still lives at home, he towers over me by at least 5 inches and his voice is as deep as Barry White’s. So, I’m certainly not changing any diapers, or spoon… Continue reading Motherhood
