Perpetually lost between reality and fantasy, I am a day dreamer and single parent to a very energetic six year old son, and currently relocating back to Sunny St. Croix, USVI where I was born and raised. Raising a boy has been exciting, fun, challenging, frustrating, and requires constant strategic planning! But I love it. He laughs and mocks my obviously girlish ways ("Mom, you can't wear heels to my football games!") but he loves snuggling and drinking hot chocolate as we watch movies.
So, I've been home for a little over two weeks and everything seems to be going better than I anticipated. Well, almost everything. Mini me is getting used to his new school. He really dislikes his uniform (I LOVE IT)...and he misses his old classmates in Maryland. ... Read more...
Well, this has been a summer. I decided in April to move back to where I was born and raised, St. Croix, USVI. This decision was made with a lot of thought and consideration. I wanted to make sure that the quality of living for my son and I wouldn't be compromised ( ... Read more...
So, I am always one of the latest to indulge in recent technologies...partly because I'm not a "techie" and partly because sometimes, I just can't afford to. Well, a few months ago I purchased an e-reader (colored version) with a few gift cards I had received. From ... Read more...
So, I love my mom. Honestly. I don't know where I would have been without her. I am always eagerly awaiting her yearly visit during the summer months to help take the load off, and allow me the opportunity to wake up past 7:30am on weekends. She is my rock, my best ... Read more...
So, every year around this time (End of April - Through Mid June) it's our busy season at work. We are in the depths of preparing for our Annual Meeting (which happened to be in Boston this year) and we are BUSY. There isn't a single person at work, who does not par ... Read more...
Okay, so my six year old has a bedtime anywhere between 8:30 - 9:30 pm and sometimes later. I know, bad mommy. Well, I'm even surprised the kids goes to sleep, at all. My son has NEVER been a sleeper. He did not sleep a full 8 hours until he was 18 months old. You r ... Read more...
So, I've recently started making substitutions in my diet to lead a more active, healthier lifestyle. Part of the reason is because of my medical history, and the other part is that I want my son to grow up with healthy eating habits. With that said, I starte ... Read more...
It seems only fitting that my first post on this new site, would to be to give two thumbs up to Working Mother and their Web design team for this FABULOUS new spread. It's amazing. I mean, I knew it would be great, but this is truly an unexpected treat. I know it mu ... Read more...
So, last week was a huge bust for me. I thought I was just coming down with the "seasonal cold" or maybe even allergies. Little did know what I would end up in the emergency room, again, and diagnosed with Pneumonia (Bacterial). I should be surprise, right ... Read more...
Today is one of my Favorite Days, St. Patricks Day. Mind you, I am not Irish and I do not drink beer or guiness. But, I love any day which gets the masses excited and unified, and today is one of those days. Almost everyone at my job is wearing Green! And I baked so ... Read more...
