Saturday was the Families Belong Together Rally and March. At over 750 rallies across the United States, people gathered together to protest the how immigrant families are being detained and separated. No hate, no fear, immigrants belong here. My father’s parents came to Ellis Island from a town on the Russia/Poland border; my mom’s family…
Life is such a rollercoaster. This week has been so tough in regard to the news. My heart goes out to the staff of the Gazette and the loved ones of the five victims. I’m really concerned about the replacement of Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court. And today I will be part of the…

It’s hot out, what to wear when you’re not feeling shorts or dresses? Lightweight wide-leg pants are my jam for easy summer dressing. No chub rub, coverage, but still able to catch a breeze. In a print, wide-leg pants hide creases, sweat, and are an optical illusion cor curves. I found these paperbag waist pants…
Emerson began a two-week day camp this week. This is her third year part of it and she looks forward to it every summer. They dance, they sing, they do art, go to the pool, learn songs and games and the last day do a performance for us parents. It is such a phenomenally-run camp,…
