New Family Focused Healthcare for Baltimore: Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital

February 27, 2012

As the mother of four, I’ve been truly blessed that for the most part all four of the Lil Nuggets are growing up healthy.  There have been a few bumps in the road that required a visit or two beyond our beloved pediatrician’s office.  As any parent can tell you, those moments can be scary. [...]

Fish Friday

February 24, 2012

It is that time of year again, where my “Catholic Light”  meets my husband’s “Recovering Catholic” in a marriage of half-assed-quasi-religious observance. Meaning we observe the practice of Fish Friday during Lent. Surprisingly the kids love this. Who knew? Even Lil Nugget #3 -who could subsist on nuggets alone and who would rather be rolled [...]

YES, Soup for YOU.. with @Bertiolli

February 8, 2012

I work from home. Sounds like a great gig huh? What they don’t tell you when you pick out that really awesome desk and funky-cool chair at the local Home Goods, is that once you start working from home… You. Never. Leave. Work. Still, it beats being parked on the Beltway in rush hour traffic. [...]

The Light of an Inspired Life

February 7, 2012

What inspires you? It sounds like a simple question, but the answer can be complicated in ways that paint a tapestry. A fabric woven of who we are, where we’ve come from, those who have impacted our lives and the threads of hope for the future. In the past few months I’ve lost two friends [...]

Talk Amongst Yourselves …

February 1, 2012

When I say “Talk amongst yourselves”, I’m not just channeling Linda Richman, I’m also warning you that I’m about to rant and though you might not agree with me you’re welcome to… talk amongst yourselves. I’ve come to the conclusion that watching (or rather having on in the background as I work) morning TV news [...]

Getin’ Our Aussie On

January 27, 2012

Hey ya Rippers*, what did you do for Australia Day? Yep, the lovely land down under has it’s own day. Though were anyone to actually consult Moi on such matters of state, I’d have informed them that a day simply could never cover it. Days? No. Weeks? Maybe. Years? I’d give it a burl*.  I’ve [...]

Oh Where, Oh Where Has The Mojo Gone? Oh Where, Oh Where Can It Be?

January 25, 2012

Much like my keys, sunglasses and cash when there is a teenager near, I just can’t find my mojo. Which begs the question… Did. I. Ever. Have. It? Maybe. Who knows? In my own head I had it at one point. Upon further contemplation, the last time I recall it being in firmly my possession [...]

BLACKED OUT

January 18, 2012

Sure I could say I blacked out The Nuggets today to show my support for the FEW members of  our government who support KILLING both SOPA and PIPA, but let’s be honest I barely blog enough these days to to keep my blogger card and super-secret clubhouse password. That said, every person who has EVER [...]
