Time magazine cover

My 7-year-old read the cover of our copy of Time magazine to me: "Why Mom Liked You Best*. The Science of Favoritism (*of course she would never admit it)."The cover features three blonde young children, a boy and two girls. Just like our family.

Cab driver Mark Duggan was carrying the gun and died as a result of a gunshot fired by a London officer.

About Me: 

As an Irish national, living the US with my husband and three children, I am a freelance writer. You can find me as a featured history/immigration writer on Ancestry.com, an occasional travel writer for About.com and a health care writer and moderator for one of the fastest growing women's health care websites, Empowher.com

A travel junkie, I wander the world with my most excellent husband and children as often as I can, play as much tennis as possible and swim laps to clear my head. I love basement comedy clubs that make me laugh and don't care about anyone's feelings (especially my own), and a great night in or out with friends.  www.empowher.com
