Debbi lives in St. James, which she describes as “a modern-day Mayberry” – a small town where parades down Lake Avenue are not uncommon, and she regularly runs into my PTA mom friends the local grocery store. She has a passion for staying connected online via social media, and reconnecting with old friends. She provides Long Islanders with her parenting insights, as well as Top 10 Articles featuring the best of what LI has to offer.
