Party time!

As a writer – most of my work is logged during late nights and early mornings with only the clicking of the keyboard to keep me company. As a blogger I thrive on partnerships – interviews with clever creators and photo shoots with snappy objects. I collaborate because I believe in the people, places, things,… read more

Dear Old Dad

So here I am blogging about just how crafty and organized I am trying to become and what do I do? I leave shopping for Father’s Day gifts to the very last minute. Not crafty. Not organized. Sorry Dad. Sorry Husband. I may not have ordered personalized golf balls months ago but I do fancy… read more

Hot Lips

Lovin’ me some fuchsia lips these days… One can always blend into the crowd with subtle make-up and then *SHAZZAM* – you add pink lips and you become fabulous! Notice how I have selected images of women with different skin tones, different shades of hair, and different colored eyes. Truly this look can work on anyone…. read more

House Beautiful

I’ve got a cousin-in-law who is just one of those women. Effortlessly chic in a casual and cool kind of way. Bohemian yet modern. Relaxed but always accessorized with a piece that is truly unique. She has a lot of talents – one of them being a keen eye for interior design – and that’s… read more

Wave Hello, Say Goodbye…

The Minis on Sophie’s Last Day of School I have a feeling in my heart. It’s good and bad – bitter and sweet. There’s a clamp around it that tightens as I type – trying to hold back tears. My bigger mini graduated from nursery school today. I know, I know – it sounds like… read more

Just Flow

Oh yoga – how I had missed you… Today I am very grateful for Janel – a yogi, an inspiration, a new friend, and a teacher. I thank her for all the great classes so far. And the music. You know I always need music. It makes everything flow. Even if you skip the yoga… read more

Tri and Tri and Tri

Have you been telling yourself you are going to get back to the gym and that start date keeps getting postponed? A little extra “baby” weight you just can’t shake? A “handful” of lovin’ in your torso region that you can’t seem to part with? Any interest in showing your kids that Mommy and Daddy can… read more

Baby Boon!

This gadget was shown to me today and it is just too good not to share immediately. If you have a baby – you need it. I believe that “pouch baby food” is the best parenting invention to hit the market in the last 4 years. This spoon attachment just makes it that much more civilized…. read more

Ice Cold Beer Here!

It’s almost summer and you know what that means BBQ season! Yee-haw! In my opinion there is nothing quite as tasty as a grilled burger, corn-on-the-cob, and an ice cold beer on a Sunday evening. Beer has gotten pretty fancy over the last few years and I now frequently find myself perusing the ice-cold aisle at the grocery store not knowing what… read more

Sale On

The sales have begun and prices have been slashed. If you are male and averse to spending money look away. If you are female – get involved.  Summer is barely upon us and yet all these lovely little sandals and dresses are already on sale. Grab them before they are gone… Below are a few of… read more
