Happy Birthday Papi…..from my world to yours
September 16, 2009 by 1 Comment
I wanted to write a huge post about my Dad (I called him Papi) and post photos of our happy times but I won't. It's a sad day for my family and I so I decided to write something short and sweet. My Dad would have been 57 years old today. He died when he was just 42 years old. He was indeed very young but I guess God had other plans for him. He's been in Heaven for 15 years. It doesn't feel like he's been gone for a long time but when I look at the numbers, I'm shocked. I'm shocked … [Read more...]

September 16, 2009 by 1 Comment
Disney does it once again. Disney always seems to please people of all ages, especially us. This movie was a HUGE hit at my house. My daughters, a few of her friends and I LOVED it. We had a popcorn and movie night a few days ago and we all had fun. I've always loved the Disney princesses so this movie took me back to my childhood. It was nice to "give" that same feeling to my own daughters. My 10 year old was amazed that I still like Disney movies being that I'm old a mother but do we … [Read more...]

We Remember, 8 Years Later | 9-11-01
September 11, 2009 by Leave a Comment
I can still remember the day it happened. It feels like it happened yesterday. Although I was sleeping during this horrible tragedy, I was awoken by my husband who called to tell me to watch the news. I asked him, "What channel?" He then said, "Any channel". I said, "Why do you want me to watch the news"? He said, "You'll see...I'll stay on the phone when you watch what's going on." … [Read more...]

In New York, school is in session starting today. My kids were so excited about school, they even woke up EXTRA early. Not something they usually do, but I was glad I didn't have to fight for them to get up. Now that they're back in school, I can concentrate on saving money when I go shopping at Stop & Shop. I don't know about you but I can't concentrate on getting the best deal, like what's on sale or what coupon I have when I have my kids with me because all they want is junk food and … [Read more...]
