What are some of the signs of childhood cancer? Although childhood cancer take the lives of more children than any other disease, the funds allocated for research into all types of childhood cancers represent only 4 percent of U.S. federal cancer research funding.

I’ve noticed in the past year or so that Chase “pretends” quite often while he is playing. He will be down in his playroom, playing with legos, or dressing up like Luke Skywalker, or even just coloring and I hear him talking to someone as if he has a playmate. Now, I’m no stranger to […]
Chase is almost 6 years old. He started Kindergarten this year, and the things he has learned and can do never never cease to amaze me. This is uncharted territory for me, all this “school” stuff… Tanner should be in 3rd grade, and I should be a pro by now… it’s really strange when your […]

They say that it could be a statistical fluke, but it could also be something about that site that makes it more likely to be struck. Any mom-cologist would agree, our biggest […]
So, last night we saw Theresa Caputo, the LI Medium. We have seen her before, always in group settings, and she is amazing. If you’ve ever seen her show, you know she has the funniest personality. We weren’t planning on going to this event, but like I’ve said before sometimes things just happen for a […]
I have been putting off writing for a long time now. I thought about writing at back to school time, with all the joys of watching Chase go off to school, and all the pain of looking at first day pictures knowing that I should have had two beautiful boys in my pictures too… thinking […]
