Busy today. Stories to edit. Stories to research. Story to write. Still, couldn’t let Friday go by without a fun Favorite Things column. I’ve gathered up some interesting new Web sites. Hope you enjoy! And since I love recounting my own Favorite Things: Little Girl went from three word sentences to ten word sentences this [...]

I’m starting to think about Little Girl’s second birthday. It’s only three-and-a-half months away. I need to figure out what kind of party I am having, (if anything), and get invitations. Then I’ll need to figure out favors, decide on the guest list (do I invite her friends’ older siblings), and pick a date and [...]

It’s been a recycling/reducing kind of week, so it’s only fitting that I am dedicating today’s Favorite Things Friday to cool products and companies that can help us reduce waste, improve recycling rates, and reduce the amount of plastic in our world. What do you think? Willing to give them a try? Ecologic packaging. I [...]

I have spent almost the entire week with the kids. Snow, my husband’s operation, more snow. It’s been a mommy-and-them week. We spent a lot of time outside, and loved it, which is why today I am posting some tips to help you make the most of your time outdoors. Enjoy! Find a new locale. [...]

My baby turned 19-months-old yesterday. About a week ago she’s started asking why whenever we told her something. “Little Girl, time to put your pajamas on.” “WHY?” “Because it’s late, and you need to go to sleep.” “WHY?” It is seriously so cute I can’t help but smile, even as she is driving me nuts [...]
I didn’t post yesterday. I was a little busy feeling like I was dying. Keep in mind that I delivered both my babies without any drugs. Those deliveries were like a facial and a massage compared to my last 36 hours dealing with a stomach bug. Today I still have a 101 degree Fahrenheit fever. [...]

Did you know your tongue is directly connected to your feet? I didn’t, either. This past Saturday I took an amazing class at Little Yoga House. The Anatomy of Breathing. It was taught by Leslie Kaminoff of The Breathing Project. Leslie, who co-authored Yoga Anatomy, was on Long Island for a Long Island Yoga Association [...]

Friends. They can be so important to our well-being, keeping us sane, healthy, and happy, and changing our lives for better or for worse. I thought I’d shake Favorite Things Friday up yet again, so — although I still selected several found-on-the-Web favorites for inclusion in this week’s list — I’m dedicating the first few [...]

This week’s post should have an extra “F” in it — for free! I’ve found some fun (oh, there’s another F) online resources that are definitely worth checking out. Children’s Vascular Health Activity Book. It’s hard to tell a teenager to eat right and avoid smoking. It’s easier to give a child a visual, and [...]
