Family dinners, then and now

Last night my mom, dad, Audrey and I went out to dinner to celebrate Audrey’s 31st birthday. Yes, her birthday was a week earlier, on May 23, but it fell on Memorial Day weekend, and it was a pretty jam-packed weekend at that, so the birthday dinner was pushed to May 30. It’s funny that [...]

If I Were A Boy…

Janie and I have been sharing my iPod for awhile now (since hers bit the dust). At first, I approached this arrangement with great trepidation because I was happy and familiar with all of my song choices.  But things have changed.  Janie has uploaded dozens and dozens of songs… songs that I would never have [...]

$10.00/hour!!??

Last night, I was talking to a friend of mine who has a 15-year old daughter.  This daughter is wonderful, responsible and smart… and she babysits.  Since summer is fast approaching and Audrey could use some babysitting help here and there, I asked what the going rate is for an-hour-or-so-here-and-there babysitting. The answer.  I almost [...]

Fashion Advice Friday? It's all about — POLYVORE.

I have a fashion obsession. I can’t help it, I do. Polyvore. You create – by mixing and matching clothing and accessories – different outfits. I’m telling you, it’s a lot of fun. Experiment with styles. Create fun looks. Be a little daring with colors and designs that you normally wouldn’t wear. “Try on” clothing [...]

Mismatched socks? Say goodbye.

My bloggy friend and fellow Rhode Islander – Heather from The Mogul Mom – sent me some socks from Little Miss Matched awhile ago. They made my life easier. I loved them SO MUCH, I got myself more pairs. The beauty of not having to match socks (the part I dread about every laundry single [...]

Party of 6

My grandmother called the other night around 6PM. She could hear a little bit of chaos in the back, so she asked if she called “during dinner.” I explained it was just the boys racing back and forth in the kitchen and that I was the only one eating dinner. She honestly sounded surprised when [...]

There’s just something about a little back yard pool…

Of all the world’s oceans and lakes and rivers and steams – Of all the man-made wave pools and splash parks and private clubs – There’s just something so sweet and simple and innocent and enduring about a little back yard pool… (This is my Nana, my Aunt Jean, my Uncle Bob, me and my [...]

SeaWorld Adventures!

Last Thursday – May 20th – thanks to IZEA, I got the chance to head to SeaWorld in Orlando, FL to try out their new roller coaster – Manta! Let me preface this post with this statement – I’m TERRIFIED of roller coasters. TERRIFIED. The question can (and should) be posed, “Well… why go?” Truth [...]
