A GREAT fashion read: Style from A to Zoe

Women have been asking for me to share some great fashion books… books that will inspire the fashionista within! I devour fashion books. So this advice is easy for me to pass along. Today’s book is one of my all-time FAVES — Style from A to Zoe by Rachel Zoe. Rachel Zoe is the chicest, [...]

Nars Lip Gloss (THANK YOU!)

I’m usually NOT a lip gloss girl… I love my Chapstick. Come to think of it, I’m not really even a lipstick girl. I love to really play up on eyes… my lips, they aren’t really on my makeup ritual checklist. I was telling a close girlfriend this “piece about me” this past weekend. She’s [...]

Chance decides everything…

Today, our son and daughter-in-law celebrate their 11th wedding anniversary. Days like these always make me wonder and marvel at the journey that brings two people together. Mostly, I always think about how chance decides everything. For Keith and Nicole, it was their separate decisions to head to a Providence restaurant/bar on St. Patrick’s Day [...]

Frigidarie's Affinity Washer (it's gotta be love)

I’ve had my Frigidaire appliances for 13 days now. 13 days of trying them – and loving every minute of it. I mean, every single minute. Out of all the appliances we truly needed, a washer and dryer set was right up there. Our previous washer and dryer were so old, and just not (at [...]

The Cardigan Shawl

I’m asked all the time about sweater wraps. I guess my constant gushing about them has been heard. I’ve had many women mistake a cardigan shawl for a sweater wrap. Not that that’s a bad thing… cardigan shawls are fabulous. They bring the same amount of versatility to an outfit. I also love that cardigan [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Three Dog Day

I had my hands full during my walk with my two pups and my friend’s dog!

The list didn’t mention beer

Since completing my sprint triathlon 2 weeks and 3 days ago (who’s counting?), I have run only one time.  OK.  OK.  I had cut my foot during the race 2 weeks and 3 days ago, but that had healed, oh… about 1 week and 3 days ago.  I had followed a specific, detailed on-line training [...]

NFL hits Maternity Fashions

Let me preface this post with this statement — my husband is a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan. When I was pregnant with our oldest son, William, my husband ran out and bought me (us) a Steelers jersey. Black mesh with gold numbers. Classic Steelers jersey. He wanted me to wear it all the time — [...]

Want to meet my boyfriend?

Gottcha. (wink, wink!) I’m talking clothing here, not actual men. I have been seeing Boyfriend Jackets EVERYWHERE lately! My first reaction to them was — “so juvenile.” I remember having a boyfriend jacket back in 8th grade. Oh, yes. I thought I was the coolest thing that ever hit Barrington Middle School. I think I [...]

“I’d like to call you ‘stupid,’ but…”

I learned a very important lesson today from a child. It’s kind of a language lesson. I was sitting in the kiddie pool at my grandchildren’s pool club.  The age limit for this pool is 6, so I know this little language expert had to be 6 or under.  I would guess he was 5-years [...]
