Some people wear many "hats"

There's no doubt that no matter who we are or where we are in life, we where many "hats", but I like to think that for me, it's best described as many "shoes."

I was going through my closet and found that my shoes really do tell a story about me.  More importantly, just how diverse I am and how cool that is!  I'm sure we all have a few adjectives we would use to describe ourselves, some flattering,  others, not so much.  But if we truly looked at ourselves differently, like through our shoes, then maybe we would see ourselves a little better?    Maybe we would see that we can be that person we want to be by what we put on our feet.

Want to be active?  Then throw on those sneakers and get moving.
Want to feel sexy?  Then slip on those heels and be that person, own it.
Want to get fit? Those spin shoes can only be for spinning, so sweat like a girl!
Throw on a pair of flip flops and you instantly relax.

People ask me everyday, 'how do you do it all?'  I never know how to answer them.  But I guess by looking at my shoes I realize that I do "do it all."    Maybe you do too but never gave yourself that much credit.  Or maybe there's some "shoes" that you haven't worn lately and maybe should.  Today, open up that closet and check out your shoes.  What do you see?  If you see that your sneakers are way in the back but your comfy "outdoor" slippers are pretty worn, maybe it's time to switch things up a bit.  If your heels are collecting dust, brush them off, put them on...you never know what comes next ;)

Do you like Coffee?

While in Bristol, RI I came across a little coffee shop called Angelina's.   The owner Jason is from Brooklyn,NY and he and his wife decided to bring a unique style of brewing coffee to Rhode Islanders and anyone who happens to walk inside...

Next time you're in Bristol and you want a yummy cup of coffee, trust me, once you taste this, no other coffee will taste as good. Cheers!

WHERE DO BABIES COME FROM?

                                                             

It was Sunday in May, 1984 I remember this day well.  I was graduating from High School and it was also the day my Mom asked me, "Honey, you do know that babies don't come from Stork's, right?"

I'm not sure what shocked me more, the fact my Mom thought there was a possibility I believed this to be true, or that at the age of 18 she thought I hadn't learned about the birds and the bees!

Fast forward to today.  With Twin teenagers and a very curious 9 year old I vowed not to wait until their Graduation Day to discuss, well, you know...where babies come from.  However, it's too late, at least for my Teens.  They learned a few years ago during "Health" class at school and unfortunately in more graphic detail from their friends and social media.

As a Parent, you always want to be the one to tell your children those important lessons so they're not hearing it first from their friends or from a very clinical Health class...or so, you want to believe you want to be "that" parent who feels that way.   But I have to admit, deep down, I'm kind of glad I didn't have to explain it to my teens!  Does that make me a bad parent? No, just a relieved one.

So, how did I find out my teens knew about the birds and the bees?  I asked them, "Guys, you do know that babies don't come from Stork's, right?"  OMG.   The words spilled out of my mouth, I couldn't stop myself.  I suddenly realized I was as chicken as my Mom!  

For the record, they were 13 when I asked them this question and thank God they responded, 'Yes Mom, we know where babies come from.' 

As for my 9 year old?  I've got 3 more years until he has Health in school.  Until then? Deny, Deny, Deny.
