My brother Kumar and I often talk about the blessing of coming from a crazy household and making life as an adult as “normal” as we know. We often have talked about what helped us. One of those things was … Continue reading →

Sammy and Tyler were at Hockey Camp this last week. It was a specialized program with 30 hours of ice time. They were on the ice 6 hours a day! They would start at 8:30 a.m. and come home starving … Continue reading →

Summer is a time that allows me to spend quality time with the boys. But during all that quality time… there are many moments during the constant teasing, fighting and nitpicking that I wonder if I am doing it right. … Continue reading →

Sammy and I are so much alike. We are more alike than we are different. I could list the great things about Sammy… such as his great personality, thoughtfulness, great big brother, loving, and so on. We are told so … Continue reading →

My life with 6 sons is summed up in one word… ADVENTURE! You never know what you are going to experience or find. Going to the bathroom can be an experience all in it self… sitting on the seat and … Continue reading →

Growing up it seems everyone had a best friend. I didn’t have one till we moved to Florida… Heather Cavanaugh. We lived in the same apartment complex, went to the same church and school and in our free times played … Continue reading →

I remember growing up with plants around us. When we lived in Toronto in apartments, I remember (more through pictures) of all the plants on the window sills. I can remember going to Edward’s Garden in Toronto with my dad’s … Continue reading →

I had an interesting conversation last night in regards to my blog. I love feedback. I love when you agreed and yet even when you disagree. Most things I write are just thoughts passing thru at that moment or that … Continue reading →

I love Sanj. Yes, there is the BUT his Type A personality is highly annoying 90% of the time. It is the way he handles stress… or rather DOES NOT handle stress. When HE loses his keys, he freaks out … Continue reading →

In my dreams, I am a mom that has lovingly prepared 3 meals and couple of snacks each day for the troops. In reality, cooking is annoying. I don’t mind it every so often, but the everyday drudgery of “WHAT … Continue reading →

I went to my coaching session today. I feel so good. I realized that my love for my dad can be unconditional. I can love him and desire nothing in return (because I know on earth it isn’t going to … Continue reading →

As we were on our way to the Zoo this morning, the God/Jesus conversation was occurring again.I just hear a bit of it…Zach was talking to his buddy Jake … “Is Jesus white???” I didn’t hear the answer…

The boys were nit picking about foolishness as usual. Max, who is becoming my little smart mouth, with a comment for everything his brothers say… was at it again. I said something along the lines of … what would Jesus … Continue reading →

As an almost 40 something, I know this world is not perfect and many times sucks. The ones that usually suffer is the children. Our house is always open to the boys and their friends. Yesterday was Tyler’s birthday and … Continue reading →

I love TLC. I love the shows about flipping homes, real estate shows and cooking shows. One of my favorites is Clean Sweep! It always fascinates me, people that have NO SHAME. I realize we all have a room that … Continue reading →
