My daughter seriously stays up at night with a flashlight and reads these books over and over! The very first one she read that got her hooked was called Trouble … [Read more...]

Nemo Blizzard 2013 ~ We Survived!

The blizzard of 2013 has come and gone, but the aftermath still continues. The kids still do not have school today, as three of the six schools in our district are without power. We are hoping they get things up and running soon, as kids already have off all next week for their winter break. We also don't want to have the kids in school until the end of June. There are no built-in snow days here in Rhode Island like we had in Fairfax County, VA. … [Read more...]

Reebok ~ Igniting that Fire Within to Live a Healthy Lifestyle #cbias

True confession time. I am not at my goal weight, I do not eat everything I am supposed to, and I struggle daily with weight issues and food. It's been like this my entire life. All my family members are the same way. We gain, realize we need to lose, lose the weight, and then put it back on. I have tried everything from Weight Watchers to Nutrisystem to a Personal Trainer. Do they work? Yes they work! They all work. The key though it that they … [Read more...]

MedImmune RSV Awareness ~ Know the Signs; Protect Your Kids

I remember one morning a few years ago when my friend called me crying and was so upset. I asked her what was wrong, and she told me a story from the night before when her young child seemed to almost stop breathing. She said it was the scariest night of her life. He was wheezing, coughing, and almost could not catch his breath. They ended up calling the ambulance because his breathing was so labored. After spending the night in the hospital and … [Read more...]
