OK, Moms! My advice today… on Halloween!? Bring on the ORANGE AND BLACK! There’s nothing more festive than having some fun with Halloween’s trademark colors! Layer up your basic black l/s tee with an orange s/s tee – Or mix and match… It’s all about Halloween (and FALL) Fashion-ability!

I get the Daylight Savings Time thing from an agrarian point of view and all that, but as I was driving home tonight at 6:00 pm and realized that on Sunday it will be dark at 5:00 pm… well, that just set “winter” in my mind. But I am trying to be positive about the whole “winter approaching” thing. I’m [...]

If your kids are anything like my kids… they want me to dress up for Halloween. Last year was the first year the “begging” started. My husband (the ever-loving-Halloween-Dad) donned a Chicken Suit for his sons. I knew I had to do something, so I pulled together a “punk” look. My sons didn’t know what the “punk” look was, but [...]

Are you ready for some eye-catching fashion? Eyeglasses as accessories. I started wearing glasses about a year ago. I remember going to the optometrist last November and having him ask me after my exam, “How have you been driving this long at night without glasses?” I simply explained, “I haven’t.” He immediately had my prescription ready. But the BIG question [...]

Fashion Advice for Moms: Super”MOM” Capes! OK… not really capes, moms (although we do deserve them!). I had a few women email me last month asking about capes. “Fashion Do or Fashion Don’t?” Immediately when “capes” come to mind, I think of my 3 oldest sons running around the house in these – And believe me, that’s an every day [...]

So I’m working my friendly purple pole in the subdued darkness to the beat of Hit Me Baby One More Time of my 2nd pole dancing class feeling pretty darned confident that I have some of the dance steps and spins memorized… well, kind of, when the music stops. Stops. What the? And that’s when Jennifer, our pole dancing drill [...]

Fashion Advice for Recycling Old Jeans… that’s right – turn it into a FASHIONY NOTEBOOK. (Yes, this was the segment I did yesterday on the Rachael Ray Show.) I have jeans that are way too frayed on the bottom. I have jeans that have lost their buttons. I have jeans with stuck zippers. And I have jeans that are just [...]

On October 6th… (I remember the day because it was my mom’s 57th birthday and the day she skydove!) I headed to NYC for a LaundryHE “Bubbles and Bubbly” event hosted by Wisk. I remember when I was first invited to the event, a question was tossed out at me, “Do you think more bubbles equals better cleaning?” Yup! Yes! [...]

I had a moment this morning that flooded back memories… memories stored in some box in my mind. The box must certainly be covered, of course, in order to keep the memories preserved. But the cover on the box is easily lifted at the very perfect moment. All of the boxes in our minds are meticulously alphabetized and labeled. I [...]

What to Wear with Sweatpants. As a work-at-home mom I’m in sweatpants quite a bit during the week (OK, pretty much all day when I’m home). Sweatpants are comfortable, easy and cozy. They also double as great wear to play with the kids in… I don’t know about you, but I’m usually crawling, running, chasing, darting Nerf bullets… But after [...]
