By day I'm a middle school English Language Arts teacher in New York City and by evening and weekends I'm the mother of two sons ages 8 and 10. Not to mention the fact that I am also a wife, a blogger, and run a household. Actually, I don't even know how I found the time to even write this post! Mother's Day is the one special day a year that I get recognized for all that I do throughout the year for my family. That is why I always create a wish list for my husband and family to use as a guide when buying gifts to lavish me with. After all, I'm totally worth it! My number one gift this year is Sonos Play:3 Wireless Speaker for Streaming Music from Best Buy. A lot of thought went into choosing this speaker as my top gift for Mother's Day this year. You see, music is a huge … [Read more...]

There is no better way to recognize all that mothers do for their children and for their families than through the gift of roses. These beautiful and delicate flowers have come to symbolize much more than just love and are now given … [Read more...]
I’m Done Trying-The Mother In Law Chronicles
Since becoming a mother, my perspective on a lot of things has changed considerably. I suppose bringing new life into the world has its ways of shuffling your priorities. It's no secret that I have never had a close relationship with my Mother In Law. I'm not going to get into the reasons why this is so, all you have to do is type "Mother In Law" into this blog's search and you will learn all about our rocky history. The sad part is that my last post a few years ago was actually hopeful after a surprise visit where everyone got along... Unfortunately, she has been an absentee grandmother in my sons' lives and the good feelings were short lived. To be fair to her, she lives 12 hours away in another state and does not come to New York City very often. On the other hand, as a mother, I cannot even fathom how maintaining contact with her grandsons is not more of a priority for her. There really is no excuse with all of the technology that is available to keep in touch even … [Read more...]
