Leaving the museum, Elizabeth said, “Yes, the dinosaurs were real.  That was a very, very long time ago, Philip.  Million and millions of years ago.”  “Were you alive, Mommy?”  Elizabeth said cooly, “Have you been paying attention at all, Philip?” “I think so, Mommy.  A lot of the time, anyway.” “Well, I certainly was not alive.”  Elizabeth said with a bit of disdain, realizing that her four year old had absolutely no grasp of time in history.  They walked...

  It’s awesome to see one of our favorite players win his second green jacket in three years. Bubba fired a final round of 69 to hold off 20 year old phenom Jordan Spieth and win by 3. Oh yeah and Bubba drove it 366 yards on 13th hole! As Bubba said in his press conference he doesn’t play the game to make a living or to be considered a great player. He plays the game...

Dee Ocleppo- our 40th Mom of the Week :) What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them?

Congratulations to the UConn Women’s & Men’s Basketball teams for winning the National Championship.  UConn is the only Division 1 University that has done this in the same year, and now they’ve done it twice (2004 & 2014).

What do you love to do with your children? 1.  Travel.  Here we are at Bled Castle in Bled, Slovenia when my son was 13 months old. 2.  Read with them. My 13-year-old and I are reading Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine together for her required nightly reading.  Neither of us understands the story but we love the way it's written.  It's like looking into another world and not understanding what you're seeing but knowing that it's beautiful. My 4-year-old...

Sun filled the wide hallway of the Little Farms Nursery School.  It was the second week of school and the children were settling into their lives there after the long summer vacation.  Mrs. Macafer was a young, vibrant, and very smiley teacher.  She adored children and each one of them felt special in her class.  The sun followed her into her big classroom.  Soon the children arrived and the class was in full swing.  The...

What do you love to do with your children? How old are they? And what is your greatest wish for them?

Teenage skin I have always liked treating teenage patients. I think it’s because I think I can really make a difference with them. Catching kids early can put them on a path for taking good care of their skin for a lifetime. This also involves educating their parents. Many parents are at a loss about how to help their kids with their acne and other skin issues. They may have had skin problems themselves when they...

Marina Overton was setting up her desk in her new room, taking things out of a cardboard moving box: her tape dispenser, a little pair of red handled scissors, several drawing pads, lots of crayons and colored pencils.  As she arranged them on her white desk, she was thinking of her old room in the house she had lived in since she was born.  Her little brother Thomas sat in a bigger moving box, humming...
