Wherein I take on the AKC and the Today Show
I’m not really a big fan of the American Kennel Club. In my eyes, it promotes the idea that a dog has to be purebred to be considered worthy. Worthy of what, I don’t know… maybe recognition in general? Worthy of being on some list, like the AKC’s Most Popular Dog Breeds in America? Which [...]

Ever since I started my 365 Days of Fashion Advice for Moms segment on my blog… the emails have been pouring in with questions. And then most recently I started getting some videos from fellow bloggers, asking me for my fashion advice. The VERY FIRST MOM I am helping!? The lovely, smart and beautiful Mercedes… [...]

Today’s one of those days. I have about 100 things on my to-do list. Everything ranging from heading to the grocery store and post office… to answering emails and some writing deadlines. It’s a full day. As I was looking for a photo to send to one of my friends… I came across some photos [...]
I Lift My Lamp Beside the Golden Door
I LIFT MY LAMP BESIDE THE GOLDEN DOOR and other random thoughts today on the first day of President Obama’s term… Yesterday. A day like no other in the history of The United States of America. Thoughts, perhaps not as random as I think, stream through my head today like a great door has been [...]

For Day #20 of my Fashion Advice for Moms, I’m showing you how to perfect the boot-over-the-jean style… and NOT be channeling M.C. Hammer in the process.
Shoveling out… and pass the Aleve!
We woke up this morning to the 3rd morning of shoveling and/or cleaning off the cars. Sunday about 6 inches. Yesterday, 6 or so more. And today, another couple of inches. I’m sore. I am feeling muscle ache where muscles don’t belong. I’ve lived in New England for the greater part of my life, so [...]

1.) You actually get EXCITED when diapers/formula/wet wipes are on SALE! 2.) You see it snowing outside… and wish school will NOT be canceled! Because if it is… you have phone calls to make and a day to re-arrange. 3.) You talk about the price of gas. 4.) You’re doing math problems all over again… [...]
Talkin’ with Thom Filicia about the Room-A-Day Giveaway
The other day I was chatting online with my new BFF Thom Filicia, whom you probably know best from Bravo TV’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and most recently from The Style Network’s Dress My Nest. OK, before I go any further, I should probably clarify something, for credibility’s sake. Everything I said in [...]
On running and Aerosmith
I was running yesterday… Wait. Let me explain. I don’t run. Well, I do… but it is very new to me, and this is how it happened. Everyone in my family is training for something… Jane for a full marathon and Half Ironman, Audrey for a 1/2 marathon, Audrey’s husband Matt for a Half Ironman, [...]

My husband loves to “wrestle” with the boys. As William and Alexander have grown older, they love to team up and “try to get Daddy!” as best as they can. And now Benjamin has come of age… he gets right in the middle of things, throwing himself into the mix. It is hilarious! Well… this [...]
