If you watched any football last Sunday, you probably noticed a lot of pink on the field. Coaches were wearing pink ribbons and pink hats. Players suited up in pink shoes and pink gloves. Even the referees joined in this year, with pink whistles to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

October is here!! Time to bring the Halloween decorations out .if they arent already 😉 For most of us, October means picking pumpkins and apples on the weekends and enjoying the last month of nice weather before it gets really cold. But forbaseball fans, October means PLAYOFFSSS!

Who doesn’t love thoselazy mornings when there’s no school, the kids are watching a movie or taking a nap, and we actually get to enjoy our cup of coffee and call up a girlfriend to chat!

A few weeks ago, my family and I went to Philadelphia to watch the Eagles play the New York Giants. I am a huge sports fan and my dad has had season tickets to the Philadelphia Eagles for over 10 years, so football Sundays have always been a big deal in my family.

I recently asked my brother if he wanted to coach my four-year-old son’s basketball team. Since my brother John has played basketball all his life (starting from age five, through high school, into college and he still plays the occasional pickup game with friends), I thoughthe would jump at the opportunity to help young children learn a sport he loves while at the same time bonding with his nephew (and godson). So I was shocked at his quick, but honest, response, I dont think I have patience for the younger kids, but definitely when he’s older.
