Livin Mi Vida Loca

The New York Daily News recently reported about a fairly old Police sting that is rising it's ugly head again.

Today as I sit in my living room, listening to the police vehicles and fire trucks outside my window, I reflect on 911 and how much my life has changed. Ten years ago, I was working at a boutique law firm in the compliance department. I researched laws, both nationally and internationally, while also montioring the [...]

Below is what happens when you leave a teen and a tween to their own devices while you run out and enjoy a latte. I left them playing a board game and returned towards the end of a marker battle! Thankfully, the markers used were Crayola's Washable Markers. Can you imagine if they had to [...]

Kmart, realizing this, launched the first [...]

My ten year old recently connected with a young girl from his Pre-K class.  She calls him constantly because she has a crush on him. He enjoys the attention and so picks up every single call. One day while talking to Andrew, she tells him she found another one of their Pre-K friends. She said he [...]
