Watching the sunrise while the rest of the house sleeps… So as I was at Fresh Market this morning a nice woman came up to me and said “You have the coolest job! I would LOVE to talk to the HEAT players…” As I stared at her through my exhausted, bleary eyes, I thought, she’s Read Post
No Bull, Blood Patch is Serious
After my first daughter Lila was born I had spinal headaches. Chicago Bulls Forward Luol Deng missed games 6 & 7 of the Brooklyn series with what the team reported as the flu. But his condition was far more serious. He actually was tested for viral meningitis, which came back negative. He then required further Read Post
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: Trying to Watch the HEAT Sweep with Kids
Emylia had her broom ready for the sweep! So there it is HEAT fans. Sweep City for Miami! What we thought would be an easy series was just that. The Milwaukee Bucks struggled, and couldn’t even pull out even one “W” on their home turf. Miami breezed past them in 4, sans Dwyane Wade Read Post
Lila’s 1st HEAT Game
Hot shot on her way to HEAT-Bulls game. Well not exactly her first…but the first time she actually was cognitively aware of her surroundings and able to enjoy it without covering her ears!

HEAT Streak Ends, Real Fun Begins
THIS is the goal! It wasn’t always pretty. It wasn’t always easy. It was the HEAT Streak, and last night it was snapped at 27 consecutive wins in Chicago against the undermanned Bulls.

It’s Not What You Know…
Intern days at RDV Sports in Orlando, FL. Scanned in from a print, because no digital cameras back then. It’s who you know. Or that’s how the saying goes. But it is kind of what you know too! I get asked frequently at Miami HEAT games how I got my start in this crazy business. Read Post
Lebron James, the Most Likable Guy on the Planet?
Lebron James all smiles after torching the Clippers by 22 last night. After watching Lebron James literally play catch with a fan last night during the Clippers game, I immediately thought; how can anyone NOT like this guy? He’s selfless, charismatic, not to mention totally dominating and elevating his game this season. Just when you Read Post
Keep Calm HEAT Fans…

Yes the HEAT were outrebounded by 20 by the Chicago Bulls last Friday night. Yes last night, they were outrebounded by the Indiana Pacers by Read Post
Happy New Ear?! For Miami Sports, We Hope.
Champagne cupcake with champagne buttercream. No, not a typo. That’s what my 3 year old repeatedly said as we baked champagne cupcakes last night. “Happy New Ear mommy!” We didn’t make it to midnight–but a valiant effort by the Hewitt girls. So as I sit here finally enjoying my glass of champagne on New Years Night, I have Read Post
