Does technology connect or disconnect us from our kids?

I admit, I text my daughter to come to dinner rather than holler up the stairs like my mother used to do. We text when she's away from home rather than talk on the phone. She sends me links to interesting articles. And I send her photos of cute clothes...

Where your treasure is...

This weekend my husband went with a friend to "watch rich men drive expensive cars around a track" (his words, not mine) at the Daytona Speedway. He had a good time--especially at the driving experience where he got to ride in the expensive...

Back to school shopping a rite of passage that may not happen if we don't help

This weekend I took my daughter shopping for her back-to-school supplies. Now that she is going into 7th grade, the list is mercifully shorter. No more glue sticks, scissors or rulers. But still, the list was long enough to rack up some serious dollars...

Spring break shouldn't be just for kids

I just got back from a week off with the family for Spring Break. And wow what a difference a week can make. I have a fresh perspective on life, work, home. It was so good, my daughter was surprised that it wasn't a nationwide holiday. She thinks...

Are you "swapping" this season?

A few years ago the adults in my family decided to stop "swapping" money at Christmas buying each other gifts we either couldn't afford to give or may not want to get. Perhaps we should have considered another type of "swap"--the...

Being thankful shouldn't be a once a year activity

I love Thanksgiving. You get to enjoy great food, good friends and time away from your daily grind without the pressure of gift giving and over-the-top decorating. I also love the point of the holiday which is to remind us that no matter what we've...

Send a note, share a meal

In an age of digital everything, there is still nothing like a hand-written note stuck to a mirror, tucked into a briefcase or snuck into a lunch bag. I try and sneak notes into my daughter's lunch box just to let her know I am thinking about her...
