Instagram As Our New Age Mirror

PTPAFebruary 6, 2018

Being a teenager is one of the most difficult life stages. Just ask any parent of a teenager. Their bodies are changing, their appearance is changing and their hormones are raging. They are extremely sensitive and yet completely insensitive, they are absorbed in themselves and their social lives and how they look and how many people are looking. It’s a…

Enough of The Santa Wars

PTPANovember 23, 2016

I am a voyeur on the internet, like many others. I read, rarely comment, even though I am astounded. I believe in the whole “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” concept and focus my energy on changing MY behavior, instead of harassing others to change theirs. Over the past week I have been…

Embracing The Childless Friend

PTPASeptember 21, 2016

I don’t have kids. I like kids, and probably someday I will want some of my own, but I’m not in a hurry. I have lots of life to live still. Thankfully, I am still in the phase of my life where most of my friends are getting engaged and married, not yet having babies, so there haven’t been too…

The Power of Words

PTPAFebruary 7, 2016

I sometimes wonder if doctors realize how deeply we analyze them when they present a diagnosis. The tone of their voice, their intonation, their facial expression, those are the things that patients remember when they think back on that day. Once a diagnosis has been delivered, the rest of what is said becomes a blur, so there is so…

PTPAJanuary 18, 2016

Had enough of the gigantic snow drifts, the biting winds, and the relentlessly grey skies? Ready to fast-forward to spring? Hey, me, too! But odds are we’ve got at least a few more weeks of winter to contend with before the arrival of anything even remotely resembling spring. That can mean a few more weeks of grumpier-than-usual kids (which will…

Why A New Years Resolution is the Wrong Way to Start the Year

PTPAJanuary 10, 2016

I used to jump on the resolution bandwagon, making January 1st the time to set new goals. But each year, as my goals failed to materialize, I would enter spring frustrated and disappointed in myself. To lose 10 lbs, to take on a new challenge, to make a drastic change in our life, all of these ended up piling up…

What The Boob? A Rant About Society.

PTPANovember 2, 2015

Let me start off by saying that any way you chose to feed your child, is in my opinion, your choice. No one should ever tell you that it is wrong or that you cannot feed them when and where you chose. When I heard of this story about the Iowa mom who was refused the photo printing of her breast-feeding…

And The Cutest Baby Name Goes To….

PTPASeptember 13, 2015

Hollywood is notorious for unique baby names, some of which are horrible references to everyday products, alcoholic drinks and nature. Every once and a while a new name pops up and you think, ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ and faith in celebrities is restored. That’s what I thought when I read that actress, Ashley Scott, named her little girl…
