Valentine’s Day. A day focused on love. A day focused on letting people know that you are care. A day that frankly…I do not subscribe to.  I did not even buy a Valentine’s card for Rocket or Principessa this year. No candy. No gift. Nothing. I used to think it was because I was not [...]

Conversations with Principessa

More Birthdays…for you, for me, for everyone!

August 13, 2010

2010-08-13 It all started with my blogging friend Why Mommy. She is an inspiring woman….a scientist, a mom, a wife, and now- a woman fighting cancer with all of her being.  Through her, I discovered the American Cancer Society’s More Birthday Campaign.  Many women especially, cringe at the idea of the birthday because it signifies [...]
