Gymboree-wee! October 29, 2008

Gymboree isn’t just a store that sells cute kids clothes!  Who knew? When I was looking for places to take Camille for interaction with other kids I found Gymboree Play and Music. ( I’m sure other mothers have known about it for years, but I am new at this whole motherhood thing We’ve been taking her once [...]

Best Bud October 27, 2008

Those of you who have been reading my blog know that earlier this year my beloved dog, Arthur,  died.  Arthur was nearly 18 years old, he was my best bud and I was heartbroken.  Even with a toddler in the house, it seemed so empty after he died.  After all, with the exception of college, I’ve always had a [...]

Kid’s Cough & Cold Season October 22, 2008

I did a story on Tuesday about home remedies to help get kids through cough and cold season.  Last year, the FDA said children under 2 years old should not take cough and cold medicine.  Now, the makers of those over the counter medications are putting warnings on their products telling parents children under 4 [...]

Halloweenwear! October 21, 2008

I can’t believe it, but Halloween is almost here Camille does have her costume.  We learned our lesson last year.  I guess we didn’t start shopping early enough.   I thought shopping in September would give us plenty of time, I was wrong   My mom and I ended up running around to several [...]

Play Dates October 19, 2008

I was in line at the grocery store the other day and saw a tabloid headline that got my attention.  It was about little Suri Cruise, daughter of mega stars Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.  The headline said she wasn’t allowed to have play dates.  Now, who knows if it’s true or not. Personally, I don’t take [...]

Time Crunch October 19, 2008

Now I get it, the time thing. I admit,  before I had Camille, I wondered why some moms always seemed to be rushed  Well,  I wonder no more It seems that no matter how organized I am, we are always late. 
Swim lessons are a perfect example.  We wake up, my husband gets ready, we both [...]

A Mother’s Heart October 14, 2008

As a news reporter and anchor, we unfortunately report on many heartbreaking stories.  The stories involving children were always hard for me to tell but now that I’m a mother those stories are even more difficult.  Having Camille has changed me.  She has made me more emotional, more understanding, more patient.  I’m sure many of [...]

A WORK OF ART! October 13, 2008

It is certainly not a Picasso, but it is Camille’s first work of art!  My parent’s bought Camille this easel and she is fascinated with it.  She is still to small for the letters that come with it, she tried to eat them But the chalk and the blackboard are a big hit!  [...]

Little Duquesne Duke October 12, 2008

I graduated from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.  Just recently, I was shocked to find out that there are roughly 15-thousand of us “Duquesne Dukes” in the area!
Duquesne University is starting a Cleveland chapter of the alumni association.  We had our first official event, it was a tour of Browns stadium and lunch. There were about 40 adults and 1 toddler at the [...]
