Who am I? I’m a mom. I’m a wife. I’m an UberMom. I’m the chef, psychologist and laundry master! Identity crisis too? Now as the little ones in my life, are now nearly grown-ups, eyes open to that bearded man who sleeps next to me. No one can quit being a mom, but the fact […]
The day begins with an alarm clock. Some of our clocks sound like baby cries, others are the wiggles and snuggles of an escaped toddler from their bed. One way or another we rise to meet the day.

Topping over 185 pounds this 5-foot 3-inch mama was quite the popular gal at the cook to order all you can eat breakfast. “Hey Deena,” the waitress would wave, “here’s your usual table.” You know […]
