Another Rainy Day at Disney World

February 1, 2014 Leave a Comment

No parks today, my friends. Raining and COLD again!!! Today was really supposed to be sunny and 72 (according to all the weather forecasts), but we had rain. By the evening though, the kids were swimming in the pool even though it was only about 62 degrees outside. It is so lovely here at Paradise [...]

Day One in the Disney Parks

January 31, 2014 1 Comment

After a cold, damp day at Downtown Disney we decided to start our #DisneySide park adventures at Epcot. Funny enough, I thought the weather was meant to clear, but it didn’t. Day one in the parks was another cold and wet one. Whatever, right? We made the best of it and the kids had a [...]

This Doesn’t Suck

We have arrived, my friends, we have arrived. Feels so good to be warm. I forgot how much I love to travel. I forgot how fun it is to travel when you’re NOT pregnant. The kids did such a fantastic job through it all — a 4am wake-up call, traipsing through airports, holding hands, LISTENING, [...]

Duct Tape Fun

January 21, 2014 2 Comments

Emily got the clever genes. She is a lover of arts and crafts, drawing, writing and creating. She’s a LEFTY too. How did that all happen? Anyway, her latest craze (since looming) is now duct tape. It’s amazing what she (and her Grandma) have created. Bracelets, wallets, purses, mustaches, bags, bows, pencil toppers, etc. She [...]

The standards and expectations are both much higher than they were when we went to school.

Thank You, Kind People of Boston

It started with traffic. Lots and lots of it. I didn’t leave the ‘burbs when I said I would and I got stuck behind a wicked accident on 93, on my way into the Boston Auto Show, known in past years as the New England International Auto Show. Whatever, the baby amazingly kept his cool [...]

What is Beauty?

January 15, 2014 Leave a Comment

So Dove and Mom 2.0 recently asked me what beauty means. We were asked to create a 15-30 second video. Two lucky winners would be whisked away to be beauty correspondents at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend in Utah. Nope, I didn’t win, but the message is still important. Big congrats to Joey Fortman [...]

Ten Things I Can’t Do Without Thinking About My Dad

January 13, 2014 2 Comments

Wow, it’s been eight years? Seems like yesterday. He lives on in just about every single thing I do. I’d do anything to give him another big hug and sniff up his scent. I’m convinced it was half Dad/half Boston Globe pressroom. Anyway, it was good stuff. I think about it him at least 25 [...]
