Happy Father’s Day!

 Four years ago I became a mother and then two and a half years ago…I became a mother again. Through it all I have had the most wonderful, caring, helpful and loving man beside me. My children are so lucky to have such an amazing father who is always there and ready for any [...]

My Temporarily BiCoastal Marriage

I was getting my hair done two weeks ago and my hair dresser asked me how long I was going to be in town. I told her 6 weeks and she just about fell over and said “Without your husband?!” This is a question I get A LOT when I am visiting California. It got me thinking… [...]

Adding Tradition…The Belmont Stakes

M2C Couponing Series – Part 1

I told myself that I was not going to blog about couponing. But here I am…blogging about couponing. There are just SOOO many coupon blogs out there now and frankly I don’t think I am that good. However, I have received so many emails about how to get started with coupons and I really want [...]

The Signs of Summer

It’s official…summer has begun. I know this because last week after I put the kids to bed and straightened the kitchen I made a bee line for the couch. I would be so excited to get lost in an unrealistic teen drama or an equally unrealistic medical drama. Now I find myself watching shows about [...]
