There are lots of current events that I would love to comment on such as the seriously whining, talk-backing son of mine (I need to sort this one out because it’s driving me crazy!), the good trashy TV that I caught up on since I was sick over the weekend, or maybe this absurd study…
I always feel like I have to share when I find something that I totally love. We were camping over the Halloween weekend and needed to stock up on (yeah, it’s true) more alcohol. So I ran over to our BevMo (thankfully didn’t see the Wine Guy) and ended up with a $150 receipt! Holy…
To continue celebrating autumn with food, I’ve got a great salmon recipe that flaunts fall for me. This is one of my favorite dinners that encourages me to put on a cozy sweater, invite friends over for dinner and have apples dipped in caramel and hot toddies for desert. This dinner is easy, yummy, and…
Two of my favorite things…So You Think You Can Dance and wine. Wine first. Better to watch TV while drinking (as opposed to operating heavy machinery). So I’m in love. He’s tall, blonde, and crisp and his initials are CMS. And he was only $6 at the BevMo 5 Cents sale. Is it wrong that…
Once a month I hold jenH Happy Hour (HHH). It’s my kind of Mommy & Me playdate. I invite about 30 women and everyone knows they are welcome to extend an invitation to a friend. Most the time there is between 10-15 Moms and about 20 kids. Yeah, it gets crazy. Kids run in and…
I’m a thinker. I think a lot. I probably think too much. I know that when I start feeling like things are too tough right now, I look for the lesson to learn. My dear friend and teacher, Victoria Castle, wrote in her book Trance of Scarcity, “If struggling were the way to get there,…
You know in movies (or in real life if you’re a romantic…) when you’re in love and you want to sing a silly tune all day… (maybe from a musical that featured Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney or maybe The Beatles’ “Good Day Sunshine”)…yeah, corny love like that. Well, I’m in love with a book. …
Know what’s great? When customer service really works. I sent the following email to L’Oréal yesterday. Hi. I used to be a big fan of your Feather Lash Mascara (waterproof). Trying to find the right kind of mascara for me is like trying to find a new pair of jeans. It drives me crazy. I…
You should know that I love to cook. Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of gal out for my own cooking show. The thing is I like to find recipes that sound good to me (a pretty picture helps) and I follow the directions well. I think this makes my MIL and my Mom giddy…
