Escape & Educate with a Family Movie Night!
My grandmother loved the movies and found them to be poetry in motion. The medium was birthed in her lifetime and she loved it, soaked it up and enjoyed the off-screen drama of the movie stars. Weve shared many multi-generational conversations over films, which are immortal and transcendent. Todays world is much more celebrity and information obsessed but what I care about is the bonding that happens over media — movies, television, theater, music, dance, art I love it all! No matter what time of year, a movie night is special. Whether setting up at home for a movie night or going to the movies, theres nothing like it. Movies are timeless and the experience lives on well after the lights turn back on.
Summer is for Dining Al Fresco
While dining out one night at Mario Batalis Babbo, he said to me the pearl Crostada is Love. Yes, my friends, food is love, so serve it up!! Summer love can be found everywhere; in the flowers, in the air, in the water, all the elements. We are particularly lucky to be served up love by the earth with the bounty of food Mother Nature provides. In preparing for summer, I love planting with my children. We plant fresh herbs (although my sage is the lone survivor) and flowers (my sunflowers are late bloomers). With each dig into the soil, Im more amazed at how it all works. We put a seed into soil, add water, sunshine and it grows into something we can eat. Thats a simple recipe for success.
Life is Filled with Stepping Stones
My mom frequently reminds me that her and my dad will be there for you, but were not going to do it for you. Little by little, step-by-step we grow into ourselves. When we are first born, we breathe air for the first time and they cut the chord. That is our first step to independence, right? F-R-E-E-D-O-M! I think not.

Take it Easy — Life is But a Breeze
My best friend Melissa constantly reminds me of precious pearl dont force it and I believe the path to simplifying our lives is balancing the need for structure, going with the flow and either climbing or avoiding the brick walls. The summer days are longer and your spirit soars in free form. The school year is over and theres a new groove. Do you let loose and go free form or do you maintain law, order, structure and a schedule?
