I know, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense…unless you know that Kim Orlando, founder of TravelingMom.com (and my friend) went to Amelia Island Florida for vacation. I’ve never been to Amelia Island, but it sure doesn’t look like the land-of-the-Grandma’s that I think of as Florida. Check out her video. Who knew that [...]

Earlier this week my post about how to behave at a Broadway Show got a lot of attention when the  lovely now-they’re-my-best-friends people at WordPress chose it for Freshly Pressed, their daily pick of the 10 most comment-worthy posts on the nearly 240,000 blogs housed there.  I got a lot of hits (nearly 3000), a [...]

With the conventions over, and Sarah Palin’s nasty speech somehow energizing the right, it’s starting to seem as if the Republicans are going to win. Something must be done.   So I’ve decided to throw my hat into the ring.  I’m running on the MOM platform.  And it’s not an acronym.  I’m running as a Mom, [...]

Yesterday, I took a job. A real, honest to goodness, I will get a paycheck job. I didn’t do this lightly. I had slowed down working a lot about three years ago, then stopped completely one year ago, and I was starting to lose my mind. Full-time mommy-hood was killing me. Too much stress. Too [...]
