Bikini Shopping, ahoy!

Shopping for the perfect bikini, much like finding the perfect parking spot, is a delicate art. Both can start out on a fairly to wildly positive note only to go quickly, fantastically awry. For bikini shopping, that moment may happen as soon as you find yourself stark naked in the dressing room. Horrible lighting, indulging [...]

Underwear for Expectant Moms

We all gotta’ wear them – even when we’re pregnant! One of the toughest things is finding underwear (and undergarments) that will give you the support, fit and comfort you need. It never ceases to amaze me how many women ask me if it’s “OK to wear thongs while pregnant.” ANYTHING goes… as long as [...]

Talking with Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott

Yesterday I got the chance to chat with Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. I was a HUGE 90210 fan in the day. Everything on Thursday night STOPPED in my house for 90210. There was no such thing as DVR or Tivo (yes, you could “tape” it, but what a pain!). I would get all my [...]

Designer Bathing Suits for Girls

Designer Bathing Suits for Girls. My girlfriend’s daughters (they’re 9 and 11) just showed me the most adorable bathing suits that they just ordered for the summer. It’s funny, it reminded me of how I used to want to order my backpack for the next school year in May! They were that excited about showing [...]

Skipping Hand-in-Hand with my Granddaugher

This past weekend was pure sun, warmth and blue skies in New England… and a couple of days worth of great running races for my family and friends. Saturday was the Providence St. Patrick’s Day 5K, and on Sunday the New Bedford Half Marathon. I ran the St. Pat’s 5K on Saturday with Audrey, Keith [...]

Fashion Deals: Workout/Fitness Wear

After posting about Spring Workout Fashions on Monday, I had a bunch of emails asking me about other places I recommend getting some great workout wear (besides Old Navy). Even though Old Navy has great workout and fitness apparel, there are other places that offer just as great deals. One of my favorite places to [...]

Girls Fashion Alert: Color-Blocking Tiered Skirts

Girls Spring Fashion is SO adorable! I was just in Old Navy this past weekend and noticed these GORGEOUS Color-Blocking Tiered Skirts. I kept reading how color-blocking was a big trend this spring… but hadn’t seen anything up close and personal. LOVE IT.

5 Things I Hate About Potty Training

I must have blocked the “potty training” days out of my head from William and Alexander. Although – I trained them both in the summer… so it was a lot easier. They were running around in their bathing suits, big boy undies and shorts… not layers of clothing. Yesterday was my first attempt at training [...]

Fashion Do or Don’t: Bib Necklace

Fashion Do or Don’t: the Bib Necklace. I’m seeing them everywhere right now! Spring accessories are all about making statements. Bold and colorful jewelry. Chunky bracelets, rings and necklaces. Turquoise pieces. And… Bib Necklaces. Bib Necklaces are exactly what they sound like… they look like bibs. Dramatic? Yes. Making a bold accessory statement? Double yes. [...]

2 Tonka Dump Trucks, 3 Boys and 1 Grandma

Take a peek at this photograph. Can you see the tranquility of a lovely little New England town, with its church spire, historic hall freshly painted yellow, flags unfurled, playground and field of dreams? If you look more closely, can you see ME? I’m way, way, way at the other side of the field of [...]
