It’s that time of year again. The flowers are beginning to bloom, the birds are chirping, the temperatures are going up along with the energy level of many of our children.

Lou Russo — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 09:51:05 +0000

I know it’s a little early, but I couldn’t help it. That weather Saturday had me thinking spring and thinking flowers. I spent the whole first half of the day in the yard planting a little springtime. I enjoy gardening, but I’m no expert, not by a long shot, and I have no idea if [...]

Yesterday, the sun was shining, children were riding their bikes, birds were chirping and the Jersey shore was buzzing with that beautiful day feeling that only happens around here.

The Groundhog Was So Very Wrong!

Back on February 2nd, a little groundhog you may have heard of was pulled from a hole in the ground in Pennsylvania and asked to predict when spring would arrive. Boy was he wrong. Not only was this NOT a long winter in our area, but spring — which arrived overnight — came earlier than [...]

Why Christmas Music Seems Wrong When It's 72 Degrees Out

Laurie Cataldo — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:17:50 +0000

I hate winter. The cold, the snow, the darkness…it’s the worst. If I could live anywhere in the world…it would probably be San Diego. Why? It’s pretty much 75 and sunny all year round.
