feeling partly cloudy

The fog that currently is blanketing the coast wears like my heavy feelings. My heart has been heavy. My mind is unsettled. Inevitably, the sun will come out, but the day starts in grey. I can point to my sorrow: the death of a friend’s mother, a friend’s grandmother’s passing, and the loss of friend….

reconnecting to purpose

One of the biggest take aways from BlogHer ’11 Conference were the lessons learned during Pathfinder Day. I was on the My Blog as a Life Changer track, because well, I’m ready for a change on my blog.  While I love writing about my favorite television shows, children’s books and recipes, and posting pictures on…

blogher ’11=soul food

Awesome. So awesome.  If you’re a blogger you should go to at least one, once in your life.  To be in a convention center for three days full of estrogen, blog sages, smiles, tears and excitement was a great feeling that I’ll want to capture again. BlogHer ’11 rocked my socks and fed my soul….

The answer is right where I started.  I’m still officially an unemployed, stay-at-home mom.  My kids drive me crazy, my sanity sometimes is…

feels like the first time

It feels like the first time, the very first time…because it is!  And PLEASE by all means watch the video, it’s ALL ABOUT the hair and those guys are ugly mofos.  But yeah, gotta love some Foreigner. Anyway, I just got my first blog award and I’m doing the So Awesome Dance (just not to…

design genius

I am LONG overdue in publically recognizing and paying homage to the creative genius behind my new logo.  I have known Jen & Simon Bucktrout for over seven years.  We were really good friends back when Husband & I were childless and living the sweet life in San Francisco and have continued our friendship down…
