About Me

Hello,

I am the mother of two daughters ages 12 and 15 who are smart and athletic too. I love watching them play their games; softball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, and indoor soccer. I love reading, writing, walking my dog, freelancing, working in the yard on sunny days; I love the beach and boardwalks, and snow when it glistens from the sun.

We have a cat and dog that we adore. Our dog Sydney, is part Newfoundland/part Lab. She is a beautiful, sweetie. Our cat Nicki is beautiful too, just a little snooty!

My New Newfie/Lab Mixed Breed

While growing up, we always had a dog or cat, and usually both. My youngest daughter has wanted a dog since she could talk. When she was nearly 12, I finally gave in. I just could not let my kids grow up without a dog. It's unnatural! It's not that I...

Packing For a Day at the Softball Field

My view of fastpitch softball comes from my years of experience with my daughters ages 12 and 15 who have played softball since the age of six. Then they played t-ball, and boy was it fun. Now they both play select softball and the quality of play is...

fundraising

I have two daughters who play select softball, and it's very expensive, what with the fees for tournaments, uniform fees, equipment and gear, (gloves, bats, masks, etc.)and travel. The fees alone are more than $1,000 for each kid, and that doesn't in...

Toddlers shouldn't use binkies

Toddlers shouldn't use binkies Ok, binkies, pacifiers, whatever you call them, it drives me nuts to see toddlers who can walk and talk walking around with a pacifier in their mouths who take it out to talk. Puhleeese. Take that pacifier away. I don't...
