It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
I recently had the opportunity to try Mama Mio O-mega Body Oil. Now you know I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Mama Mio, so it really is no surprise that their latest product has me shouting it’s praises from the rooftops! A gorgeously fragrant blend of sink-in-quick oils, OMega™ Body Oil is a magic…
I’m prepared for a couple of you to go into shock (don’t worry… the boy did too!), but I’m making a big commitment to myself for the month of February. I will not be purchasing any unnecessary items. NONE. For the whole month. Don’t worry, I’ll still be spending money at the grocery store, but…
Well, I can go ahead and slack off for the rest of 2010 because I have already had a fabulous experience. I recently attended the Discovery Communications 25th anniversary gala, where I saw many familiar faces from the Discovery networks. Everyone from the Pitmasters to the stars of Little People, Big World were wandering about- snacking…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 3 “Breaking and Entering Into My Honda Mini-Van Is Where I Draw the Line!!!” So, you’re probably wanting to know if I ended up allowing Princess to move into the guest bedroom. The answer would be an affirmative ‘No’. You see, Princess, as beautiful as she is, was…
Introducing Bootights! Tights with the comfort and cushioning of attached mid-calf socks that are designed exclusively to wear with boots! THE PROBLEM: Tights are often awkward and uncomfortable when worn with boots causing snagging, slipping, blistering, and cold feet, forcing women to wear socks over their tights. Most of my boots are also slightly big…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 1 The Swan Cafe This week, many feathers have been ruffled in Washington State. A new bill, #6255, has been introduced before House and Senate committees, down in our capitol, Olympia, Washington. And this government bill was born from the loneliness of another dear creature, who happens to…
The first time I ever saw a Miche Bag (pronounced Mee-Chee) was on an infomercial during the early fall when I was home sick from work. Now, I’m an infomercial junkie – I love watching them and always want everything I see on them – but I have never actually bought anything from one before….
No matter what you do, at some point you’re going to come smack up against a bad morning. Not just the ordinary, “Ooo, I don’t want to get out of bed” kind, but the “Can I please turn into some nice old lady’s favorite houseplant” kind. That’s how I was feeling at 5 A.M. this…
Who Took the Gloves Off???!! Reminiscing on How This Fashion ‘Must’ Became Passe It used to be that one of the very core items a lady possessed was a pair of white gloves. A lady could be seen wearing her white gloves at all times, except when she was eating at a prominent citizen’s house….
As a Matter of Fact I Can’t Fit into My Size 4 Jeans After Having Just Given Birth… Dear Readers, all of us mothers have certainly come across that urban myth about the friend, of the friend, of an acquaintance who went to high school with the so-and-so who used to know our sister, but…
It’s been a busy season for you. Hunting down sales for items on a seemingly endless list of things your kids want, decorating the home, cooking for the potluck at your relative’s place, traveling, wrapping presents… Thank goodness it’s all over! But just because Christmas is over doesn’t mean you’re relaxed. I know I’m still…
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…
