I am deeply saddened by the events of that happened in Boston, yesterday. I am heartbroken for the parents of the 8 year old, and 2 others that died in the senseless act that happened at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Two bombs exploded, hurting hundreds of people, and innocent people lost their lives. I find comfort, that other explosive devices, were found before others were hurt. I am in constant awe of those first on the scene and the number of people that jumped in to help, regardless of their own needs or fears for safety! The City of Boston came together to help those in need, and that is the story I am sharing with my children. I find hope and peace, knowing that the City of Boston will not bend or waiver due to this horrible act. My family will continue to pray this week for healing hearts, for peace, and unity in the coming days. Light a candle, say a prayer, train for the next marathon local to you, but do not give into the fear of the cowards behind ...

I had so much fun trying new products and samples, at the Social Media Mom Mixer - Spring Into Summer event in Philadelphia, co-hosted by Colleen Padilla and Whitney Wingerd!  The event was all about moms, fashion, and getting ready for the summer with style.  As soon as I heard about this event, I knew that I would be traveling to Philly, to find out the latest fashion trends! Lands End was there with new and exciting swimsuits, to fit every mom! The designers were on hand to talk with each one of us about our challenges, and concerns about finding the right swimsuit.  So much has changed since that last time I went shopping for a swimsuit, and just walked away in frustration!  I am top heavy, and have never found a two piece that I feel confident in. After talking with the designers, I found out that you can order a tankini or bikini in your bra size! Lands End offers underwire, has many styles,and have options for breast cancer surviv...
