How many times have you sat in the sand, letting it sift through your hands, feeling a sense of calm as you watch the waves come and go? Who knew that within each handful there was such a story to be told, and such beauty in each and every speck. Dr. Gary Greenberg, a photographer… read more
GAGH!!!!!! The trolls are back. I was WAY into them in the 80s. And now Dreamworks has nailed it once again and made an outrageously adorable film about them. Trolls, in theaters now, is truly magical. I took my 6 year old on Saturday and my 8 year old also saw it with a friend… read more
I was a serious “doodler” as a child. Even now if I am on a long call, or stuck in a meeting, I find myself scribbling away on a scrap of paper or my notes. I had to chuckle when I caught my 8 year old practicing her initials in cursive all over her homework… read more

Is it Oscar material? Probably not. Is the cinematography up there with that of A River Runs Through It? I don’t think so. Would you ever want to watch this in the presence of your parents? Absolutely not. But is it hysterically laugh-out-loud, pee-in-your-pants funny? YES! I didn’t know who Amy Schumer was before I… read more
It’s the holidays people. Sadly that can mean some serious stress. The gifting, the cooking, the travel, the mess… I find that a good laugh is often the best remedy for all the mayhem and emotions that boil to the surface between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
