It’s a drawing of my husband Neil and my step-daughters Ashley and Danielle, visiting us from Florida, sitting together on the subway bench across from me. Neil is showing Danielle, who is majoring in Civil Engineering, something […]

Breakfast is looking a bit different lately. My son has hit a growth spurt and it’s blowing my mind on a daily basis. His limbs are long and the time I have left to snuggle with my little boy is short! ~Despina

I am so not one for summer time fun. It’s just so HOT. And the beach is not the place I like to be by choice, but summa-times I find myself stuck in the sand and trying not to bake in the sun. I avoided the water for as long as I could and quickly […]

One of the joys of my life is that I am a step-mother to three wonderful young women, and a step-grandma to one little girl named Amelia, who turned five this week. We took her to Disneyworld to become ‘princessified’ at the Bibbity-Bobbity-Boutique for her 5th birthday. Here is the before and after: at left, […]

View post →The moment always seems to arrive sooner than expected. But that is life. I’ve actually planned for this post for some time. I wasn’t expecting the snow, for which I am always thankful for, so the color and the subject might be out of place for those in southern New York or on the East […]
View post →Did you ever feel a tiny raindrop trickle down from the sky and land upon your cheek when there is no rain in sight, and wonder where it came from when the day is sunny and bright? Did you ever hear someone clearly call out your name, and when you turned to look there’s […]
View post →Dear Charlie, … Was it just 365 days ago when we met? I never imagined how much you would change my life. From the way I spend my days to the way I dream at night. The joy in your laughter is infectious and the wisdom in your eyes, understood. You are truly a gift […]
