mas memoirs   Apple Week   Remembering a VisionaryI remember my first Apple computer.

I remember it so clearly.

mas memoirs   Apple Week   Remembering a Visionary

I remember being in 5th grade and typing my Rachel Carson report on it.

I remember my first laptop.

My first Mac with it’s external modem in college that  I thought was the coolest thing since the Brother word processor!

I remember kicking and screaming about switching to a PC when I entered the entertainment biz but everyone on the production side had one.

I remember being so excited when my husband bought me an iMac for my birthday and I jumped back in with both feet.

I just love Apple.

I love Apple products.

It’s even Apple Week here at MWFD.

We knew he was sick…

But it’s still sad.

Everyday With Rachael Ray

Keegan and I had a blast doing the photo shoot.

Rachael’s folks had a great take on where it’s important to splurge on organics and where you can save.

Hunger Action Month

September is Hunger Action Month

mas memoirs   Hunger Action MonthI’d just like to share with you some staggering statistics in regard to

Americans

Who are struggling to find a way to put food on their tables.

1 in 6 Americans do not have enough food to eat.

1 in 6!

That includes children and seniors.

In fact, in 2009 17 million American children lived in homes where there was not enough food.

17 million American children!

And this is not what you think.

This is not just families that live in rural areas.

This is not just immigrant families.

This is not out of work families.

This is about families in the suburbs.

This is about working families.

This is about your neighbors.

The number of families with working parents who can’t afford the cost of living anymore is growing every day.

And the economy isn’t helping!

So we have to!

Feeding America is an amazing organization that is leading the fight against Hunger in America.
