I've always felt that the start of the new school year deserves as much fireworks on Times Square as the new 'regular' year. Both are the start of something new. Right now it's that time of year again: the kids are going back to school! And many a mom gets teary eyed. But not all...
The path of motherhood is filled with landmines and pitfalls. Sometimes you need an expert to help you find your way. So when experts diagnosed my eldest son John with PDD-NOS, I decided another expert was in order to offer both John ánd me some guidance. So there we were, me sitting cringing in my...

My husband has a tendency to blame me for just about anything. Has his coat mysteriously disappeared? Then I must have hung it somewhere. Can't find his glass? I must have put it in the diswasher. Whatever is going wrong or getting lost, it's only a matter of time before it becomes my fault. Adam...
… and I'll smile if I want to! Nine years ago today, after a punishing heatwave and five weeks of Summer Vacation spent all alone with four children*, I gave birth to my youngest son Pete. Secretly I had been hoping he might just fall out, keeping the labor easy and light, but no such...
After four weeks of taking it easy, shooting the breeze, letting it all hang out, letting bygones be bygones, going with the flow, slowing down, letting the kids 'do their thing', I don't know what came over me, but suddenly I felt the urge to do some cleaning!
