Dear Phillipa Morrish, You wrote an article for the local paper, The Home Reporter on how to teach our female teenagers how to pour tea. I’m not sure why this article would appear in my local news. Could I be the only woman in Bay Ridge who doesn’t want to take the time to teach my […]
Tuesday, August 27th, 2013Happy 4th Anniversary to our…..errr….House!
On Sunday we had brunch in our backyard to celebrate our house’s fourth anniversary! We’ve had brunch with family and friends every year for the house which is nice because it’s a low stress tradition. I made Lee a quick album with before and after pictures to show how much the house had changed […]

You read the title and you are probably thinking, “yup she’s going all JC freak on us.” And you might be right, but I’m going to share this because there may be someone who needs to know we are not alone in our struggles. Earlier in the week, some people in from my past […]

Wednesday, August 14th, 2013Teachers Love the Summer!
We have been so productive this summer. I have really enjoyed summer this year and of course I don’t want it to end. But I really love teaching too. I saw my new class list and felt so happy to read their names and wonder what my new students will be like. After all these […]
Tuesday, August 13th, 201318th Avenue Feast of St. Rosalia in Brooklyn 2013

Monday, August 5th, 2013We’re Strong than the Storm
If you follow me on Twitter, I mentioned that I have been brainwashed. I keep hearing the song coming from the shows the kids are watching. I know all of the words to the song and last night I was signing it to Lee. Lee doesn’t know the song as we watch movies, rather than […]
Monday, August 5th, 2013Driving Signs
I was driving in Long Island this weekend and it’s no secret that I am a terrible driver. As I was pulling out of a parking lot, there was some confusion made by another driver so I waited for them to make their move. As I began to slowly turn out of the parking lot, […]
Wednesday, July 31st, 2013Vandalism in Bay Ridge – Hate Crime?
This morning we were shocked when we saw the red paint on the crucifix outside of Saint Anselm Church. The red paint took the appearance of paint on such a sacred image. We saw the police tape and knew something was really wrong. On the side of the church was a statue also covered in […]

Tuesday, July 30th, 2013Glimpses of Success
In the last post, I showed Lee’s work on putting sealant on the deck. After the sealant, we had to go to Home Depot to buy a cover (to cover the white deck). I call it a cover because I don’t want to say: fake grass. I hate fake grass – not because it is […]
