Green Mother’s Day gifts
With Mother’s Day just over 2 weeks away, I have (finally) started thinking about what to get my mom. I’m probably a bit late in my planning, but I just have to get through the twins’ birthday before I can think about Mother’s Day. I decided I’d start with a search for the “hot” gifts [...]
Rainy Day fun and brotherly love
We’ve had such fantastic weather here (up ’til now, anyway). On Saturday, while it was still warm, we had some thunderstorms. In between the showers, I allowed the boys to run through the puddles out back with a few of their neighborhood friends. That was always one of my favorite things to do; run through [...]
7 years gone by
Since I wasn’t able to get into my dashboard yesterday, I’m posting this a day late. It’s hard to believe that 7 years have passed since the birth of our twins. We’ve come a long way from the long, endless nights spent in the NICU. Every passing year reminds me of just how lucky we [...]
There’s still time to donate
I know that many of the March of Dimes Walk for Babies events have taken place, or will take place tomorrow, but there’s still time to donate if you haven’t yet. Brian, the boys and I will be walking in our even a week from tomorrow. If you’d like to donate, you can click on [...]
Earth Day ponderings
Well, I wasn’t planning on blogging about Earth Day. It’s so cliche to that, really, when everyone else in the world is doing it, too. What more could I possibly add? Nothing, really. I’ll just leave you with this cartoon, courtesy thedailygreen.com. Oh, how I can relate to this…. (hat tip: Brian) Sphere: Related Content
The first casualty of summer
It was bound to happen, and it has. I’m not sure who was hurt worse, Ryan or the tree he ran into. And, no, he wasn’t riding a bike. He was running. With his head down. Not watching where he was going. The exact thing I’ve warned him about forever. Thank goodness we don’t have [...]
Spring has sprung!
Yeah, it’s been spring officially for awhile. With all this warm weather lately, it’s almost as if we’ve skipped spring altogether and went straight for summer. Anyway, I noticed on my way in from the bus this morning that we have our firt tulip! I love tulips. They are my second favorite flower, behind daisies. [...]
A fitting birthday cake
So, the twins will be 7 a week from tomorrow. It’s so hard to believe that they’re that old! I remember the day they were born. Well, in all fairness, I’ll never forget the first 6 weeks of their lives. You just don’t shake your NICU experience. I look at them today and see just [...]
I love summer weather and a recycled horse
It has been b-e-a-utiful outside lately and I am loving it. It’s amazing how quiet the house gets when the weather gets warmer All the playing outside has been thoroughly wearing the boys out. Also something I love. We also got our first chance to see a ball game here. We took the boys to [...]

I am very excited. Today, I met with the senior community director for New York State Chapter Genesee Valley/Finger Lakes Division of the March of Dimes. Darcy is wonderful! She asked me if I would be willing to be the co-chair for the divisions family mission teams! I gladly accepted, of course. They are so [...]
