Greatest Accomplishment Achieved, Unexpectedly

I wanted to take a break from my regular posts, to write one focused on my children, my role as a mother, and how that makes me feel.  It's important to do this sometimes, because if I am great at anything, it is due to the surge of love and support I get from the[...]

Madame Tussauds Wax Museum New York

Sunday in NYC.  After a night hanging out with some friends till late, one would think that the last thing I would want to do would be to go out today.  However, Sunday's in NYC are possibly my favorite day in the weekend to do stuff outside, weather permitting.[...]

Apple Picking at Pennings Orchard, Warwick, NY

Last weekend the family and I wanted to take advantage of a beautiful just-beginning-of-Fall Sunday, so we headed about an hour North of New York City to go apple picking. Normally we would wait till much later, but this year I think I actually am a bit more organ[...]

Niagara Falls State Park, NY

The day after we spent hours eating buffalo wings and walking around Buffalo, NY, my family decided to do something different to end our weekend trip. We started our day by heading over to Lake Effect Diner.  Most of the reviews that I read said over and over how[...]

Buffalo Wing Festival 2009

We woke up this morning feeling excited to head out.  I had been talking about eating Buffalo Wings for days and days, and thus had managed to build up an appetite for it as well.  Aside from my 11 year old son, my younger children had no idea, nor did they care,[...]

Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND

We left Billings, MT and were slowly starting to make our way home.  We now had to drive through North Dakota.  I had never driven through this state, but everyone I spoke to said it wasn't much to look at.  The the scenery was flat and boring. So you can imagin[...]

“Where are you from?”

"Where are you from?" "Brooklyn, NY!", I respond with the pride of any New Yorker aware that they come traveling from the best city in the whole fricken world. But as I stared into the eyes of the inquisitor I saw a look of dissatisfaction from my response.  Not[...]

A necessary couple of days to reset and just breat A necessary couple of days to reset and just breathe. It’s wild that we are already on the final months of 2026. 

The world feels like it’s on fire and humanity is being tested in greater ways than so many of us can even begin to process. Society and our communities demand more from us than a lot of us have ever been called to give. But we must. And it can be exhausting and scary. But we must. 

I hope everyone goes out and votes. Protesting by NOT voting really helped to get us here. Tried and tested. So, no thanks. That was a shit plan. Now we must do more. Voting is not the overall solution. Those of us who continuously experience discrimination, misogyny, and violence towards our people know this. But it gives us a better footing to continue the fight ahead. 

There’s never “nothing” you can do, but doing nothing is never the answer. 

See you out there.
29 years ago my first boy was born. He changed my 29 years ago my first boy was born. He changed my life completely and inspired me to work hard everyday to be the best version of myself. Today, on his birthday, I invite you to go down memory lane with me. From birth to his first birthday. 

I love being your mother, @davidcaiinn. You make us  proud and your dad and I love witnessing your journey. 

You are loved more than we could ever express in our lifetimes. Happy birthday. 🎂
Started the day with a little roadtrip with Josie Started the day with a little roadtrip with Josie where she got the very rare pleasure to sit upfront (yes, she was harnessed to seatbelt) on her way to her very first doggie day care visit where she quickly made friends and happily played her heart out. But of course, it’s never enough so we got to play a bit more while the sun set. 

She is the sheddiest, most cuddly, sweetest doggie, and we love her so much. It’s only been 21/2 months, but it feels like she’s been here, with us, forever. 💕
Love is…a comfy fall cozy with Josie. 🐾💕 Love is…a comfy fall cozy with Josie. 🐾💕

Spending the next couple of days on assignment in Spending the next couple of days on assignment in Rochester, which always feels like such a special treat - to be able to work in a city I love being in so much. Excited for all the good coffee and favorite eateries I will try to fit in as much as possible while here. Such a great city.
