Sooooooo... every year around my kids birthdays I get a bit verklempt. It's already hard enough that I'm like the momster (aka Bev Goldberg), and they're both my lovies. And here I am, another year gone by and I just ask myself HOW? How does this happen SO SO FAST? Today is a milestone in my life because it is my son's birthday, which is special in and of itself. But this is also the day that my daughter (and I as her momager) launched … [Read more...]
Friday’s Five
1. School's officially O.U.T. Seriously…. where did the time go? It seems like YESTERDAY we were JUST on vacation and I was just here…. Like… weren't we JUST on vacation? 2.

These Are the Best Days
If you even knew what my schedule was like this week with extracurricular activities, I think you'd pass out from being exhausted. And you're not even the one doing any of these things.

My life isn't always this busy, however this time of year it always … [Read more...]
Holiday Traditions
I don't know if you have any holiday tradition with family and friends, but we started a tradition several years ago that is super fun. Gingerbread house making! Mini-me's Godmother and I started several years ago getting our kids together for the ANNUAL GINGERBREAD HOUSE MAKING EVENT.

Daddy’s Little Girl
Paying a small homage to my daddy for Father's Day. Now that I'm not only an adult, but a parent too, I see that not everyone was lucky enough to have parents like I had. If you don't know me, or if you couldn't tell by now, I am an only child, and YES, not ashamed to admit I'm a princess! But not in a spoiled way..... I come from a modest background and was never just GIVEN anything ever....In fact, life was quite the opposite. But it was … [Read more...]
