Why Summers & Camp belong in Maine

Growing up in New York City, my summers were spent traveling to Martha's Vineyard with my grandparents. It was a great escape from the fast paced city, and a time to enjoy the fresh outdoors. Now as a parent, I want my son to have the same experiences. Summers are meant to be traveled. One of our goals is to visit Maine. We have heard rave reviews about their fresh lobsters, ocean scenery and of course their outlet shopping! After reading this great article, I hope to venture to Maine soon.

Skin MD review and giveaway - CONTEST CLOSED

Do you or someone you know have dry skin? Or may you have eczema or psoriasis? With these upcoming warmer days, do you need and want a natural skin care treatment to protect you? Well then I have found something for you.

Skin MD Natural

Full product description:

A shielding lotion does the real work to prevent dry skin in two ways.First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant (an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any other you will find in common creams.

Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural moisture.  Excerpt from http://www.skinmdnatural.com/dry-skin-care/

I was recently given the opportunity to try the sample packets of Skin MD Natural which I was excited about since my son has dry patches on his legs. He is constantly stopping while we walk to scratch his itchy skin. I have been using this skin care on him for several weeks. I must say I am very pleased with the results. I no longer have to stop so he can scratch. My son's skin is smooth. What I love most is that there is no greasy residue, and his skin is getting protection and its all natural. They are eco-friendly, vegan, cruelty free. Each packet contains 3-5 applications. They were convenient to have in my bag for those days that he didn't have any on.

The Good, bad and sad

What a week it has turned out to be. I had this post ready last Wednesday to put up, but life got in the way. I wanted to write about Family day at the Tribeca film festival (awesome time), my son got into the charter school we wanted (yippee) and talk about how bad spring has been to my son's allergies. He's suffering so much. I really can't wait for May to pass.
Then we got the news early Tuesday morning that my Aunt passed away. She was the matriarch of our family, my mom's older sister. We knew this day was coming, but we just didn't know it would be this soon. She was diagnosed with cancer in February, which had spread unfathomably and with her bad heart she just couldn't do chemotherapy like she wanted. She was a strong fighter with some baby blues in a petite package. In the end, we all knew that it was best she went now before the worst began.
See you later Aunt Mary and say hello to all those we have lost in the past. Tell my Dad, Grandpa and Nana that I miss them. I know that I have a great group of angels watching over me and my family. Love you all
