About Diane

I am a fifty-something (I cannot believe it) wife, mother, AND "grandmother" to five amazing children in Miami, Fl. My one daughter has a set of soon to be six –year-old triplet boys, and my son has a girl and a boy (both under 4). A big chunk of life has totally been devoted to being a mother, and I’m old-fashioned in the sense that I think it’s the most important job you can ever have. Having grandchildren is something different altogether, but just as great. We get to play with the toys, give them what they want (lots of sugar), then return them to their parents! It really is a great stage of life ;) I look forward to sharing ALL the stories with you, preferably with a glass of wine in hand!
