It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
I love shoes with a fiery passion. They’re almost certainly my favorite item of apparel, and I’m often attracted to wild, Carrie Bradshaw-esque styles. But when it’s time to purchase, I morph into No-Nonsense Nellie. Oh, I’ll snap up stilettos with unique details- as long as they’re black/ brown/ otherwise neutral. Last fall, though, I…
Crumbs Bake Shop emailed me a few weeks ago and asked if I would be willing to taste test and post about their cupcakes. I don’t usually blog about food and I don’t claim to be a food connesuir, but I love getting my hands on a cupcake once in a while! I didn’t have…

She appears to exist several centuries before Brangelina and their gaggle of nannies and personal chefs, and likely does not have the time to attend to thoughts of…
Apparently Granny Panties Are Hazardous to National Security! My grandmother was a very interesting and quirky lady indeed. Born in 1906 to parents who grew up during the latter part of the Victorian Era, she was an interesting mix of the utmost propriety and manners thrown in with a little bit of feminist ideals, although…
My wardrobe is full of pieces that almost look great – just a little too tight here, not so flattering there… While losing a few would be ideal, what am I to do in the meantime? I don’t have time to slim down before holiday parties, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to look…

No, those aren’t Ugg boots! They are Fitflop Billow mules in Camel and I like them very much!! The lovely people at FitFlop are too cheap to send me a pair, so I had to save up and buy myself a pair… on eBay. I got them for $60 with free shipping, which isn’t an…
So I’ve been attempting to use iOffer.com for a few days now since I was pitched by Haute PR to try out the site. I’m a master at using eBay, but I found iOffer to take more than a minute to get used to. They have a lot of items though! I quickly found that…

How to Get Through the HolidaysWithout the D Word Coming Back to Haunt You The “D” word you say? Why, whatever could that be? Dysfuntion? Well, of course, not.
