June 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Welcome back!I remember back when my two kids were toddlers. I wanted to work from home…so I did. But I was an “early adapter” for my “working mom” group back then. I nabbed onto the idea that I could keep my professional ambitions alive and be home with my kids. I used our computer to connect with other like-minded women online at sites like WAHM.com and in discussion forums hosted by CompuServe (if you remember CompuServe then you now know how “old school” I am!). Anyhow the... [Read the full story]

July 5, 2009 · Leave a Comment
So let’s say you live in one of those cul-de-sacs that are such a no-no in the new urbanism movement. Does that mean you have to consider moving to practice what you preach as a new urbanism convert? Of course not. While a McMansion on a cul-de-sac doesn’t appeal to me anyhow, personally I would love to move to one of the newer new urbanism developments in my community because I love the neighborhood design, the small but stylish homes and I have friends there. I won’t be moving though because where I... [Read the full story]

Looks Like I’m Becoming My Mother
November 30, 2009 · 2 Comments
My mother is my rock and my love…and she drives me a little crazy. She’s knows me like no one else but she also misunderstands like no other person on earth. But that doesn’t really matter because she’s my mother not my girlfriend. Now when I had my kids I just knew in my mind that when they became young adults we were going to click and be like best buddies. Well that worked up until they locked me out of their Facebook accounts because I commented on their comments like, well, a mother. Is... [Read the full story]

Technology and Holiday Gifts for Mom
November 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment
It’s happened. I’m obsessing over gadgets. I’ve taken some pride in the fact that while I know my way around a computer and various software programs I’ve never been one to have to have the latest gadget on the market. I’ve purchased a Blackberry and iPod Touch for my kids along with several laptops and desktop computers. But I’ve always maintained the need for balance.
