How do you say I love you?

February 6, 2013 Leave a Comment

I think that sometimes it is very nice to say I love you with jewelry. John knows this, and in fairness he knew this long before he proposed.

Dear Sentimentalist

February 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

Dear Sentimentalist, From a very early age, our daughter, who is now 4, took very well to potty training during the day.

I got a Rag and Bone dress today. It’s GORGEOUS! Wish I could say I bought it, but I didn’t. It was “handed off” to me by a friend. It was just a smidge too tight on her ribcage and she figured since I am 5 whole inches shorter than her my ribcage might be… read more

WTF?

Found this little critter crawling on my floor recently. (So very creepy and crawly)   I recognized him as the living kin of the dead critters I found amongst my cashmere sweaters last fall when I took them out to wear. 15 of said sweaters (both mine and John’s) had massive holes in them.

I have a fabulous neighbor. She is that woman who seems like she puts no effort into getting ready and always looks fresh-faced, put-together, and glowing. She’s the kind of mother who puts her family first and doesn’t splurge on goodies for herself. How she does it? I do not know… We recently crossed paths… read more

I know where you thought this was going. I was being literal people. This post truly is about the constant low-grade pain in my neck. (The area that hurts!)
