When I was a kid, we did not celebrate half birthdays but apparently we do now. This week was my daughter’s half birthday. Good grief, half way to eight years old, it’s hard to believe. Notice the cake, oh, I mean birthday flower cake courtesy of 1800flowers.com. This was pretty impressive cake in that it […]
Found it – Moms Get Real Back to School Jitters Segment with Ju Ju Chang
Woohoo! I mentioned in an earlier post that I could not find my Moms Get Real segment hosted by Good Morning America’s Ju Ju Chang on the ABC site. Thanks to my friend E, who googled it (there’s a thought for you), I have the links to the entire segment which is two parts. No […]

Latest Bullying Incident Ends in Death – RIP Tyler Clementi
The death of Tyler Clementi has haunted since I read the story in this morning’s paper. I can honestly say I truly hate (and hate is a strong word) those jerks did this to him. I am have been so sickened by this story that I just can’t stop thinking about it. First I cant […]
