“Smell the mud, grab the taps, quick it’s coming, lets go collect the sap!” Hooray, it’s here. It’s sugaring season in the northeast, time to harvest from the trees. It’s been a long, cold winter, and we are ready to get out! The season officially arrived this week, with a spike in temps of 60 degrees the trees decided to open the flood gates and let loose, all…
In the wake of another school shooting, and on the doorstep of National FFA Week, now more than ever it is important for us to nurture our leaders of tomorrow. I write with heavy heart, as a mother and a citizen of the United States of America. Change needs to happen. What is it going to take to get this done? I want to share with you Megyn…
Here we are, smack dab in the middle of the winter. Anybody having fun yet? Mother Nature dropped another foot of snow on Wednesday, and my house sounds like a chorus of coughs. In keeping with my intention to the new year, I am going to choose humor rather than frustration. I am not going to see the mound of winter clothing that keeps collecting in my kitchen…
The Super Bowl wouldn’t be complete without it’s infamous commercials. Here is my favorite all time commercial, first aired during the 2013 Super Bowl. It’s going to take a lot to beat it in my book. This one still gives me chills…thank you Paul Harvey. Eat well, drink merrily, laugh heartily, and play fairly…I’ll be back in on Tuesday 😉 May the best team win! (Go Pats!)…
Anyone who knows me understands that every Sunday from the weekend after Labor Day until the first Sunday in February I am tuned into what time my football team plays. Do I dare tell you which team it is? Now that I am in New York, it’s quite challenging to see my home team play. The local networks choose to follow the Giants, Jets and Bills… not so…

I am somewhat of a milk snob … I like to drink local milk–it just tastes better, fresher. So, I try my hardest to plan well and buy from the local dairies; milk, ice cream, and creamer. I know what stores to frequent to ensure that I can easily find what we want. In addition, I also have more confidence that the ice cream hasn’t melted and been…
GREENWICH, N.Y. — Christmas was so much fun this year. We had family travel to our house for the holiday. There was even a snowstorm that greeted us on Christmas morning. It was absolutely beautiful to wake up to the falling snow that definitely added to the magic of the day. For an entire week the house was a clutter of Christmas wrapping paper, and gifts scattered all…
GREENWICH, N.Y. — Today, as we sit with only 10 days until Christmas, take time out of your busy schedule and think about your favorite holiday memory. What was it? How old were you and where were you? For me, it was the Christmas that my parents put a cassette deck in our old brown station wagon. (I couldn’t put a finger on a picture before this needed to…
GREENWICH, N.Y. — I received a beautiful note (email) the other day from a teacher. He sent a glowing review about the Morning Ag Clips … which was very thoughtful of him to send and very encouraging for me to read. But beyond the compliments on style and content, what I felt most proud of was the fact that he shared the Morning Ag Clips with his students…
