About My Family

We're slightly crazy - but in a good way. We live, laugh and learn every day. Okay - maybe we don't learn every day, but at least 3 times a week.

What are your children's names and birth dates?

Sean, 21, Matt, 20, Ryan, 12, and Madison, 8. I have a daughter, Angela, who passed away. She would be nine years old. She is our guardian angel.

Are you considering having more?

Suuuure, when pigs fly. Four is plenty, thank you very much! Plus, I'm almost older than dirt, so having a baby at this stage in the game, not a pretty sight.

How would you describe your parenting philosophy?

I've been told I'm a 'cool' mom. Of course not by my own children, they think I'm a slightly insane (which I am, but don't tell them) chick, who talks way too much.

What's your favorite parenting book (if any)?

Ha, the book of life. Parenting is hands-on. No book is going to give you the answers!

What are your family’s favorite books and toys?

I'm pretty sure my grown boys favor books that I may find - uh, inappropriate. My younger children like anything that makes them laugh.

What are your family’s favorite TV shows or movies?

We - or mostly me - are TV junkies at times. I have too many "favorite" shows to list but my # favorite show is Survivor (very educational). And I'm a movie freak as are my kids. We love going to the theater to see the newest release!

What are your family's favorite foods?

Give me a barbequed steak and salad any day. My kids are all fussy, except one.

What are your family's favorite places to hang out?

We used to love hanging out in the neighbors pool, but after they called the cops, it wasn't as fun. Now we just stick to our own yard and deck. We also frequent the malls, because SOMEONE (not naming names) loves to shop.

What one adjective would you choose to describe your household?

Fun. Crazy. Oops, that was two - I'm a rebel.

What do you see your kids doing when they grow up?

Well, two are grown and I'm not sure what their life plans are. I'm waiting for them to tell me. My youngest boy will do something that involves electronics. My daughter wants to be a performer. Hold me.

Describe your most humbling parenting moment.

Losing my daughter in 1999. It was, by far, the most difficult thing I've had to face in my life.

Who are you looking to meet on The Playground?

Brad Pitt. I'm not holding my breath though.
