Life with a swimmer or diver in our house has a lot of challenges. Even now that our diver is off diving for Brandeis University, we still have day-to-day routines we do to make his life easier. I was recently asked to reflect on my life as a swim/dive athlete’s mom and my thoughts of supporting Team USA and the Olympic Games by SheSpeaks and…

Recently, I was asked by a company if I would write a sponsored post about a Microliner. I was at first like, “Me, no way! I’m not old enough for that”. But, then I was like, “It has nothing to do with age”. Besides, who am I kidding; I wear a panty liner everyday for bladder leakage to stay fresh. There, I said it! Especially…

It is so very true. I love Groupon and all the great deals I find on their website and app. So, when I was contacted to write a post for Groupon, it was a quick yes. I use Groupons both when at home and when I travel. This is a sponsored post, but all of the following opinions are honest and my own, because I…

I knew my kids were better off without my help, which is what helped me to become a better mom. I love my kids. I really do. And I’m the first to admit that my whole life is wrapped around them, even today when they have left the nest. I plan things I do around their schedules, so that we can see them as much…

Imagine a secluded spot, tucked away on a gorgeous property overlooking the water on three sides. Then imagine having an amazing meal, accompanied by equally amazing drink. This is what I recently experienced at the Don Pablo Restaurante Gourmet as part of the all-inclusive package at The Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado in the Dominican Republic. Disclosure: Consideration was provided by a mentioned brand. I…

Sorry, but this mom does not like the current Pokemon App Craze… We have often taken a different parenting approach than most and here was a typical conversation in our house when the kids were young. Our kids were used to the statement, “We know a lot of people are doing it, but we would rather you didn’t”. Then we would get, “Why not? Everyone…

Dana and I love hosting dinner parties, but for me, it wasn’t always that way. She, on the other hand, is a born party thrower and hostess. I fretted over absolutely everything, but mostly that people would cancel at the last minute. After the first few, however, when people actually did show up and seemingly had a good time, I started to relax and even…

This is the time of year when we want to save the last of the season’s freshest for the rest of the year. So, I picked up loads of the last of this season’s blueberries. I flash froze a bunch and then made this jam with the rest. I doubled the recipe and made about 6 half pints of jam. I like to do small…

I am turning 48 this week. Yes, yikes, two years shy of 50. And, unbelievably in this day and age of so many beauty products and procedures, I have rarely used any skincare products on my own face. Seriously, until this past year I used nothing! I didn’t even wash my face in the morning and night. This is a sponsored post written by me…

Is it really almost July? Seriously! September and then winter will be here before I’ve had time to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine. This fact is so depressing to me. But, what’s even more depressing is that I feel I’m wasting a lot of the summer, not doing the activities I had planned. I was going to kayak everyday I could, play tons of…
