I know it would be The West Wing. I realize the show is off the air now but I always watched with a “wow, I want to do that job” attitude. I thought the show was great – all aspects of it. I don’t know if I could stand in front of a room full… Continue reading If I were stuck on a TV show for 24 hours…
Okay, I do use the term “households” loosely. I am referring to what will be my home with only two children (soon-to-be 12 and almost 16 boys) and myself left and two college apartments. Both my older boys – now young men and for those who don’t know me well, my kids are grouped in… Continue reading Menu Planning for Three “Households”
I sometimes wonder where my creativity goes. I love to make things. I have all the “stuff” but seldom get things done. How does one tap the creative juices and let the flow freely?
I am constantly amazed at the attitudes displayed in public by teenagers. My most recent amazement came at college “orientation” for freshmen students. After a morning of placement tests and lunch, my soon-to-be freshman daughter and I headed to a meeting for those incoming students that would be joining her in the College of Hospitality… Continue reading Attitudes
Okay, so I have finally decided that the administration at Maine-Endwell really doesn’t have a clue what is up. If I were there and going to give the Press & Sun-Bulletin a summer article on the upcoming building plan, it would not be about purchasing land for additional sports fields. All concerns that came up… Continue reading School Building Plan
I admit I am not the “typical” US sports fan. Number one – I am female. Sports in the US is basically a male bastion. I can live without home run derbies, college bowl championship series – although I love college football, and super bowls. A holdover from my college days as a marketing major… Continue reading What a Weekend for Sports!!
As I was reading the daily musings in Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Simple Abundance, I thought about comfort food and the college student. Today’s reading discussing five types of food – haute cuisine, lean cuisine, comfort food, soul food and nature food (can’t really remember #5 without getting my book from its reading location). How does… Continue reading Comfort Food – Simple Abundance for July 7
Okay, so I knew the time would come. I will have four college students in the family next year. I was bound to have one, sooner or later, that would live off campus. Due to transferring universities and there being no on campus housing left, my 19 year old son is going to be living… Continue reading Menu Planning and the College Male

Well, no car and no on campus housing. What’s a mother to do? I think I may have finally found the solution to Andy’s lack of housing in his transfer from Alfred University to the University of Buffalo. I have been checking The Buffalo News on Mondays and looking at the various boards the university… Continue reading Campus Housing and the Transfer Student
