How to add some PURPLE into your wardrobe!

I mentioned last week that PURPLE is one of the hottest colors this Fall. In my post I specifically mentioned PURPLE eyeshadow… how it’s a color that needs to be pulled out and used! It makes a mean smoky eye. Well, I wanted to show some easy ways you can incorporate purple into your wardrobe [...]

The Giving Hand

This past weekend, Barry and I drove to Vermont to attend the wedding of our nephew Corey and his beautiful bride, Rhiana.  We arrived late Friday evening to the merry sounds of people… people at a charming inn… on the eve of the wedding ceremony and festivities. Vermont is a lovely place in early Fall [...]

Fashion "IT" SONG.

I went back and forth on this piece of advice… then decided to just go with it, simply because it’s FUN. Do you have a FASHION “IT” SONG? You know, that song… that particular song… when you play, just makes you feel good. We used to dance and sing and parade around to these types [...]

Frigidaire is great for entertaining!

This past weekend we made a BIG meal. Sundays are big days at my home — football games! My husband – being a Steeler fan. Me and the 4 boys — being fans of the Patriots. Sundays are game days and we just have a blast! We cook. We laugh. And we bake. It’s a [...]

Talk about ANOTHER BOY from New York City

Ah.  It was a day just like today. 4 years ago. I awoke in New York City.  Just like today.  It was warm and windy with a touch of coolness, but gradually got warmer and warmer as the day progressed.  Just like today. The difference is that 4 years ago we waited for Alexander Dimitri [...]

Happy 4th Birthday Alexander!

I remember in November of 2004 – after the death of one of my husband’s best friend’s, Dimitri (or as we called him “Dimi”) – we decided to have another baby. Celebrating life seemed to be the only thing we could cling on to at that time, and the best way we felt we could [...]

Fashion Advice for Stinky Shoes

Our feet can smell. They can. It’s simply a fact of life. Not one we all want to admit… but it happens. I got an email recently asking how to combat stinky shoes (not only for us, but our family, too). It’s hilarious… it’s as if this “emailer” read my mind, I don’t know what [...]

Sephora's Nail Polish Corrector Pen

Lots of women love to get massages or facials or pedicures… my “love” is to get manicures. I love being able to sit down for 30 minutes and just sort of drift away while someone makes my nails look pretty. Truthfully… I don’t get to do this very often. Even though there’s a place about [...]

Frigidaire Washer/Dryer COMBO… King SIZE STYLE.

One thing I usually dread in this time of year… Around April/May, I take all the comforters off the beds and store them up in the attic for the summer. We have a KING size comforter in my bedroom, a FULL for William’s bed and a TWIN for Alexander’s bed. For the last 3 years [...]

Fashion Advice – From Bergdorf Goodman…

While I was at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week I met Todd Okerstrom, Director of Personal Shopping at Bergdorf Goodman. Ahh… imagine that dream job. Todd was giving me his tips for Fall Fashion — things he’s seeing and styles he feels will be “hot” this Fall. His top 2 (oh, my!): 1.) BOOTS ABOVE THE KNEE. [...]
