How are you? How was your week? If you asked me that question right now, I’d have to pause to remember all that happened… Big stuff - the concert in West Virginia, the 29-year anniversary since I represented Yugoslavia at the Eurovision song contest (you can imagine...

Before I left for a concert in West Virginia, I scribbled on a little chalkboard: Please remember to:eat salad and fruitwash dishesrecyclewipe off countersand signed it with “I love you. Mama” My sons, who are 16 and 13, didn’t need a reminder. They know all of this....

I usually love to spend the day AFTER a holiday in my pj’s - resting and doing nothing. I go all out cooking and making holidays special, so I get tired. So, I was a bit grumpy when the organization I volunteer for at the women’s prison announced that the graduation...

I spent a few days at Hilton Head Island this past week with my three sons. We used to go there every spring break. My late husband would pack shovels and buckets for some serious sand castle building and hole digging, and he would mount our bikes on the bike rack...

I'm writing this while travelling to Savannah, GA. I will be spending a few days of spring break with my boys, who always inspire me and teach me something new 🙂 Like this past week... I was taking my son Blais to school one morning on a busy two-lane county road. An...
