The guy with the bottle in the brown bag
Late this afternoon, I decided to go out for a short run. I wasn’t feeling completely motivated to do this, but as I looked out my windows, I noticed the sun. It is exhilarating to me that the sun is setting later and later as each week passes, and today the sun was glorious as [...]
Day #31 – Fashion Advice for Moms

What to wear to a Super Bowl party. Today’s a fun day for me… you see, my husband is a HUGE Pittsburgh Steeler fan. I mean, HUGE! The only problem for him… we live in New England. Oh, yes – the land of the red, white and blue – not black and gold. So. What’s [...]
“Grandma, can you get me that?”
I’ve been at Audrey’s home for 10 minutes this morning. Her husband is out of town for the day, and I’m lending a couple of willing and happy helping hands. But I don’t think it’s the hands that the kids want… hmmmm. The first thing 4-year old William said to me was, “GRANDMA, COME HERE!” [...]

Today is Day #30 in my 365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms. I wanted to show you today how you can take a fun belt and truly change the look of jeans and a tee with one buckle. (I had my son William ask me if he could be in the video today – [...]
What a difference a year makes (in lbs.)
I was running on the treadmill at the gym today (I hate the treadmill, but it was just too icy to run outside) and a song came on my iPod that I hadn’t heard in awhile – When You Were Young by The Killers. A little back story here. Usually I have my Playlists all [...]
Something a mom would understand…

Yesterday I did something that I haven’t done in a long time. A very, very long time. I closed my computer. Turned off my cell phone. Put away my paperwork. And took William (my oldest son) out for the afternoon. Just the two of us. It was awful weather-wise here yesterday, so we drove to [...]
A size 6 boy in a size 3 diaper
Ah… grandmas! We just love to have all the necessities at our own homes for when the grandchildren come to visit. So… I headed to CVS today to buy diapers for my grandson, Benjamin. He’s my 22-month old bundle of joy who sometimes has bundles of other things to take care of. Hence, the diapers. [...]
To Legging or not to Legging?

What I LOVE about doing my fashion series 365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms is that I’m getting great emails from moms with their fashion questions. One fashion question that has come up quite a few times is the issue of leggings. Yay or nay, you’re wondering? Here’s my take:
I ain’t afraid-a no ghosts…
Ghosts. OK. I guess they’re a bit frightening to think about, especially the horror-movie variety. But what about the other ones… you know, the cold-air-in-the room kind. I think I may have a couple of these good-guy ghosts in my home. My husband and I bought a 1780 New England federal-style home four years ago. [...]
Role Mommy at the Ritz

“Bring order to the chaos. And love keep loving each other. Show your boys your love.” The words of Marva Soogrim. Ahh… words to live by. I mentioned on Saturday that I was heading to the Ritz in New York City with my mother and Jane for Role Mommy’s at the Ritz event. The afternoon [...]
