I’ve been watching the news lately and thinking the mom marching in Ferguson, MO is no different from me. The boy who died in the street is no different from my son. The dad fighting to protect his family from injustice is no different from my husband. And I started thinking I wanted to do something to […]
Sharing Reading Rainbow with a new generation
I had the pleasure of seeing Reading Rainbow co-founder LeVar Burton read to my children (and many others) as part of the Disney Social Media Moms conference at Disneyland this Spring.

Time for Tennis! Summer Camp Offerings at Concourse Athletic Club
We are T minus 8 days until summer break. When I was in school, summer didn’t start until…well…summer. School got out in mid to late June and went back around Labor Day. And we liked it like that. We also walked 3 miles to school (uphill both ways) everyday too. But I digress. Here in […]
