Discovering Makeup – Uncovering Confidence
Living on the East Side of Providence, I walk past The Lincoln School almost on a daily basis. I’m quite familiar with the all girls private school, and have conducted a few songs on their performance stage. I, however, had never attended their famous Rhode Island Festival of Children’s Books & Authors…not until this past […]
Two years ago, I auditioned for The Rhode Show’s Search For A Star competition. The winner would get the job of a lifetime – a year on live TV as a morning co-host on our local CBS affiliate. It’s a highly publicized and sought after position, and people try out from all over the country. […]

It is located on the East Side, with one end near the Lincoln School, and the other end at Lippitt Park. The Boulevard is […]
Each moment with my Itty Bitty is a perfectly precious one. I know I’m a little biased, but he is just so damn cute. I could honestly spend hours holding him as he sleeps, while I play with his tiny toes and tiny fingers, or sing him to sleep. However, being a new mom does […]
I finally got home from the hospital after giving birth. I was wearing an adult diaper, couldn’t sit on a chair unless there was an inflatable donut (special thanks to my awesome husband for going to CVS and grabbing it for me) , and my hormones had me crying over the fact that there were […]
Teenagers generally spend about two years researching and touring prospective colleges, hoping they find just the right fit. Drivers spend countless hours, days and months car shopping. They read web reviews, scour the internet for pictures, and go on several test drives. This got me thinking… Why do we spend so much time researching some […]
After touring and blogging about many hospitals and options for birth in Rhode Island, we decided to add an extra bonus stop on our 4 Hospitals in 4 Weeks tour – here is our blog review on South County Hospital! I have only gone to South County Hospital twice in my life. Once after I […]
