Sunday was a truly an amazing day! I took my mother and my boys who are three and a half years apart (ages 4 years, 10months and 14 months) to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Our visit to this wonderful establishment was fantastic on so many levels and brought about so many first experiences. First, [...]
I love Sundays, but it was a wet Sunday yesterday and I was in no mood to cook. But when I saw those cute faces up from their naps, I could not afford to be lazy. So to make sure that I indulge my laziness (I am sure I am allowed that sometime) yet feed [...]
I’m about to divulge top secret information. I have managed to keep this a secret from my children thus far and hope to continue to do so for quite some time. At some point I assume they will catch on, but in the meantime I will enjoy my parental rights to eat ICE CREAM for [...]
I hope those of you who celebrated the July 4 Independence Day holiday had a great one! There is still one more day to this fabulous long weekend. If many of you are like me, I love holidays! It’s a time to catch up with my children, reconnect with my husband, check-in with extended family [...]

Growing up no one taught at school about healthy eating and having a well balanced perspective on my body. Well, culturally, Tibetans prefer if you [...]
Spring is a marvelous time to live in Southern California. While the rest of the country is still pulling itself out of winter we’re enjoying the first harvests of the year – avocados, strawberries, squash, melons. We are so spoiled with fresh, local food here and I think it probably gives us a warped sense [...]
When I was preggers with my first child, I cast my inner eye upon my heart and talked to God about all my hopes and worries. I prayed for a healthy child who would embrace life with a curious mind and a loving heart. But, I did not realize that I should also pray [...]
