I’m asked a lot from women about finding clothing for the summer that’s elegant, sophisticated and comfortable. Pieces they can wear to work. Pieces they can wear to events. Pieces that can mix and match. Pieces that can be brought away on vacation. And pieces that are affordable. The Dana Buchman Collection at Kohl’s is [...]
Happy Birthday, Honey-Boy!
Today is Barry’s birthday. He has already turned 61. That happened at 12:39 am… and the story of his birth is one that his mom, Flo, told me many times over. Flo was a member of that generation of women whose husbands didn’t have much to do with the actual birth of a baby. The [...]

Yesterday while at Target (one of those supposed “in and out” trips)… but, like a bee to honey, I was drawn to the women’s clothing section. There was a black dress that just grabbed my attention — A Mossimo Black Sleeveless Tiered Dress. A tiered style is GREAT for women who are trying to conceal [...]
Dick and Jane
I have a big basket of children’s books. Some are fairly new, but most of them belonged to my children when they were kids. I had enrolled them in something called the Scholastic Children’s Choice Book Club, and a new book magically arrived each month through the mail. These books are hardcover and sturdy. Yes, [...]

New York City; didn’t have a camera by my side this time
Last Tuesday I spent the day in New York City with my friend Sarah. We hadn’t seen each other since the photo shoot for the Hot Blogger Calendar back in October (OCTOBER! It had been that long!?), so we were long overdue for some quality time together. (And really, who needs an excuse to meet [...]
“Pass” that one by me again…
An Open Letter to Tom Brady (to be filed under “spoof”), Hi Tom. It’s Sharon from Rhode Island. I’m a New England Patriots fan. My whole family is. Or are. Whichever sounds better to you. And I’m really really happy to see you back and healthy. Really. You may think this letter is for an [...]
Balance. Is this actually a "thing?"

Balance. It’s a word I’m constantly saying and constantly thinking about. Balance. Throughout my life, I’ve always had a lot on my plate. It’s never felt like “a lot” to me, but to others, it’s always seemed like a lot. In high school, besides being a normal teenager, I was a competitive swimmer. I would [...]

Trucks and vehicles of all shapes, all sizes, all ages… that kids get to touch, climb on, sit in, horn blow, wear helmets and head-gear, “steer” and enjoy. [...]
