I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Mom -  Midwives is a gut-wrenching drama. It is based on the novel of the same name by Chris Bojhalian and was adapted for the stage by the author himself.  The story revolves around a midwive  charged with delivering a baby in the middle of a severe snowstorm and the tragic consequences which occur that the midwive may or may not be responsible for. The show is like two plays in one: a thriller in the first act, and a courtroom drama in the second. While the show does not exactly keep you on the edge of your seat every second, it is pretty intense and gets more so as the show goes on especially in the first act. It is definitely a story that gets under the skin and is not so easily dismissed from your mind even after the show is over.





And that's Mom's view. Tune in Sunday for this week's Sunday Scoop.
