Not Just Another Pretty Face

Props to MAC for going against the mainstream and choosing a woman who actually looks…dare I say… healthy. The photograph is striking, from Abbou’s couture dress, stylized coif and makeup, and her flexed pose. It appears MAC has...

Cerebral Palsy Sparks Brothers' Triathlon Plan →
“You’ve got to read this mom!” my kids said about the December issue that just came in the mail. My 10 and 12 year old usually fight over who gets to read the new issue first. This time they not only read it together, but did so without breaking out into a “winner takes all” wrestling match. This was all inspired by the cover story of Sports Illustrated 2012 Kid of the Year,...

Heart and Chutzpah Post Hurricane- Jersey Style
I love Chester County and have lived in PA all my adult life but am also a bonafide Jersey girl. Yup, the big hair, 80’s neon, and even the accent were once upon a time. Some of my best childhood memories are synonymous with the boardwalks, buildings and people that are uniquely New Jersey. Hurricane Sandy has wreaked havoc across the coast and hit close to home for me as NJ friends and family are...

Over The Moon About The 2012 Summer Olympic Games
I’ve always been a big fan of the summer Olympics.  Maybe it’s part nostalgia from former swimming and track days but there is something so patriotic and inspiring about watching these elite athletes command the impossible. I love the background stories on the athlete’s journey and insurmountable odds they’ve had to overcome for a chance to make history. They are our modern day heroes and their...

April 28, 2012 (WPVI) — A Chester County woman is truly an inspiration, she will compete in a triathlon on Sunday, and she won’t be able to see any of it. She lost her vision to retina...
