family of four. Q. How do you handle meals in your home? Prep? Delegate? A. I am the weekly meal planner, but Matt executes the dinner while I do homework with the boys. Q. Life balance practices? What keeps your stress at bay? A. Take time for yourself. At 8:30 when the kids are in bed I stop everything - no dishes, no laundry, no cleaning, no work - and read or watch MY shows.

All movies, all shows, all genres, everything. Q. Summer cool off spots are you looking forward to? A. My own backyard pool and the backyards of my other mom friends.

lion, and redemption, this radiant production follows one man whose incredible journey ignited a historic wave of change. Amazing Grace is based on a true story about John Newton, the author of the most famous song in history but it is also a show about truth itself. This is an epic tale of adventure on the high seas, which becomes a metaphor in itself, for the turbulence in John’s soul and heart. Storms from within and without the production will depict the world, as it existed in the mid 18th century: dependent on the slave trade to fuel its economy and in denial about the true horrors of what it was doing on a human scale.
The show will take the audience to all three points of the slave triangle, England, Africa, and Barbados and spend a number of scenes on board various ships at sea.

Ditch and Switch to healthier and less expensive alternatives to keep your family safe and healthy on a dime. Eliminating unnecessary chemicals and toxins from your everyday exposure is an easy first step to clean living. Use vinegar – window cleaner,
spots off glassware, stains off coffee pots and tea kettles, clean the fridge, add it to your wash for tough stains and to sanitize, disinfectant for door handles, sinks, and more. I do a 50/50 vinegar and water mix in a spray bottle for easy grab and go.
