Life As A Conscious Mom

There are certain things I always say to Caidin and I see how they affect him. His eyes light up, he has a sense of pride and he in turn says many of these things back to me. One is obvious, the others you may not have thought so much about. See what happens if…

I just read a blog post by David Lowery over at The Tricordist: Artists for an Ethical Internet. (Letter to Emily White at NPR All Songs Considered. | The Trichordist.) The post was in response to a 21 year-old woman who wrote her own blog post about the fact that she has over 11,000 songs in…

This Wednesday, June 20th at 7:09 pm Eastern Time marks the Summer Solstice – the longest day of the year and for many it signifies the official start of summer. In pagan tradition however, Summer actually begins on May 1st and ends on August  15th, which is why the Summer Solstice is also known as Midsummer’s…

I want to take a minute to honor my Dad who passed away in 2008. For 40 some years he was a dentist with a private practice and played a great role at the Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo where he saw patients and mentored the dental students. He touched so many people, right…

Yesterday was Caidin’s last day of being a second grader. He had a half day of school so we celebrated by going to lunch at a local diner and talking about our best memories of the year: top three events we attended, top three movies, top three moments, and top three things we learned were…

We are all different. We have our physical differences, but beyond that we respond to information and situations differently, we learn differently and we experience the world differently. I  like to say ‘my red, cannot be the same color as your red.’ It’s just not possible that how I see the color red will be…

Spring break is upon us and when I was a child my family always went down to St Pete’s Beach in Florida at this time of year. From the age of seven on, it was a highlight of the year. My Mom still goes down every year, but because of money and time, I have…

When Caidin was little, we found ourselves not only describing and explaining things to him, but being sure that we added adjectives and adverbs to every sentence. So instead of saying ‘that’s a dog,’ we’d say ‘that’s a big brown dog called a Labrador.’ Or we would explain what we were doing and why, while…

I’m a glass-is-half-full person, I’ll admit that. I always look at the upside, the opportunity, and the silver lining. I believe that positivity creates more positivity and that our thoughts create our reality. This morning I was planning on writing about ‘perfect parenting’. As I compiled my thoughts Caidin came downstairs and we veered off into a…
