And I Miss Her…
Six years ago, my sister, Madeleine, died. That seems so surreal. She was 31. Her kids were three & one. She died of cancer, metastatic epithelial cancer, likely cervical. She was diagnosed on February 6th, 2003, our mother's birthday. And she died on … [Read more...]
Life is a picnic
When I watched Julie and Julia I was captivated by many things -blogging and the power of the little person's passion on the Julie side ,- but more than anything- I was riveted by Julia Child's fantastic sense of self, her ability to laugh at herself, see her imperfections and love herself … [Read more...]
Let Them Speak Pidgin
In my old job, one of the questions I asked on the first day was, "what supports do we have in place for our English Language Learners?" To which the reply was a very unsatisfactory, "none.

Behind the Curtain.
It's 10:42 at night, and I just got back from a tooth fairy outing. Jason finally relieved Eli of the front incisor that's been bothering him for weeks. I guess it was so quick and painless that Elias didn't even realize it'd been pulled out. Good riddance. Seriously, that TOOTH. It was the bane of … [Read more...]

I thought I would try out another VH Sauce and put a small twist on traditional stew. If … [Read more...]
Raspberries and Toots…..Just Enjoy the Everyday!!

My Love Affair with all things Bubble-Gummy & Pop
It is Ali's recent confession that she adores BSB & NKOTB that has prompted me to share with you, my UrbanMoms family, that I am an official pop-o-holic. The more bubble-gummy and poppy the better. I know, it's disgusting. I revolt myself. But I can't help it- it's in my blood … [Read more...]

“Mommy, Why Do Cell Phones Control People Like Aliens?”
One of the biggest challenges of being a mom entrepreneur is the serious lack of free time. Even though I am at home all day with my family I find doing meaningful mommy stuff really hard now that I have two kids. I have more laundry, more responsibilities and a new business that seemed to be taking … [Read more...]
