I've never really played soccer so I admit I don't know all. Me: Okay, we need teams and there are only three of us so I can just watch and referee. Older son: No. You two (pointing to me and my youngest son) are on different teams. I'm. Me: It's referee, not judge. Son: Mommy, listen. Me: Okay, okay go on. Me: (Looking at my flip-flops) Maybe.

It's a Life Sentence. Don't get me wrong, being a mom is the best job in the entire world. Except those days when it's not. October 14, 2011. My youngest son is having a party. Yes, he's turning five in a few weeks, but that's not the party he's focused on right now. He's thinking ahead about a HUGE party he's planning. He announced this last week on the way home from school. And I'm psyched. Granted I'll be in my 70s when it happens but from what I hear, it's going to be a blast. And even though he's no...

I can't count how much money we've spent at Toy's R Us, Legoland, Target and Amazon in the past six years. Let's just say we could have fed, housed and put a small country through the Ivy Leagues for the same amount. Or it did until last week. Than we do in the city. They can run around in a backyard for eight hours straight (in tennis shoes, not sandals because t...

Actually, that's not entirely true, I actually have been writing a lot. My brain is a LIAR. At 2 AM would revolutionize writing - GONE. That I was going to write...

July 8, 2011. We commute. Therefore we play twenty questions in the car. A lot. In the beginning it was just silly. Our six-year-old always chose T-Rex. Our four-year-old, Spiderman.

Well, at least he and Sam were. Best friends on Thursday. Today is Monday, sooooo. It could have changed. They had differences too. Sam was a healthy eater, devouring his fruit-and-veggie filled lunches while my son basically threw up in his mouth if you even mentioned the word "green.". Then, in the middle of Nur...

Last week my husband and I took the boys to the Florida Keys for spring break. It was our first trip with just the four of us — no other family or friends. The boys had mommy and daddy’s full attention day and night for a week straight. And it was great. Practically idyllic, really. Our villa had a ridiculously large backyard that backed up to a bay and there were fl...

Almost every day for the past two years, I decided it's time my boys discovered The Radio. They needed variety and I needed something to keep me from driving into a telephone pole. Tell them you want The Eagles. I was starting to think The Radio was a bad idea after all when I stumbled upon 100.3's Rewind. Of c...Rewin...
