If I had one more conversation with my father, it would start with me telling him that I remember the Snickers bars.  My father was an incredibly courageous man, but I didn’t really learn the extent of his courage until he passed away a few weeks ago. My father was born in Palermo, Sicily and [...]

2011 is gone and we are already in to the New Year slacking a bit.  Today, Amber and I realized at 4:45pm that the kids should have gone to school. We thought for whatever reason that they started on the 3rd but nope got a recorded message telling us that are child was absent from [...]

First Flight

Posted: July 4, 2011 by ambermayer in Mayer Family Moments

In my previous blog, I failed to recall one of the best parts of our trip.  Even though my children flew several times as babies, the trip to Philadelphia was a “first” for them since they cannot recall their infant experiences.  It was absolutely fascinating to watch their faces and answer their questions during the [...]

  Do you ever have get that feeling that you are in exactly the right place at exactly the right time…. even if it is not where you planned to be?  This past Thursday, Joe and I took the children (as a surprise) to the Owl City concert in NY at the Roseland Ballroom.  Before [...]

It sounds so cliché, but it seems like a month ago that Amber said to me, “You know your stuff if pretty good, how come you have never thought about doing this full time?”  She was talking about my photography and for a while every time we talked about it I would just shrug it [...]

Some time last summer Joe and I went to New Orleans and although he’ll be insanely embarrassed that I’m telling this story – we went to “The Tea Room” and had a psychic reading.  (Joe is going to kill me when he reads this!).  I’m not going to recap all of the juicy details of what lies [...]

I once read that marriage is what happens between all the memories, good and bad.  I do understand the premise of this comment, but I am not sure that I agree with it.  I think that somewhere in those words there is partial truth – that between all the memories is where the foundation of [...]

 I try to recognize everything in my life that I should be grateful for whenever I realize that aside from the obvious – I am fairly unhappy with myself.  I am grateful for Joe, my amazing husband who loves me exactly the way I always hoped a person would; I am grateful for two children [...]

We finally moved into our dream home!  It’s big, it’s beautiful and wow – did it come with a lot of surprises!  Did you know that if your house has a fireplace that you shouldn’t assume there is a chimney?  =) The house is almost three times the square footage of our other home (our [...]

Joe and I both believe that things happen for a reason.  Last week one of our dear friends lost his beloved wife.  Talk about putting tragedy in perspective.  Our friend’s wife, Misty was truly a testiment to being an “inspiration”.  Throughout her battle with colon cancer at the young age of 32, she was upbeat, postive and [...]
