How To Rock A Little Black Dress
I love wearing dresses. They are a little more forgiving than pants, especially if you’re curvy like me. And there is nothing like the Little Black Dress (LBD). It’s every woman’s secret weapon. Black is my favorite color to wear, because it’s sleek, sexy, and sophisticated (think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s), and with […]
Hot Fun In The Summertime
I have such warm wonderful memories of my summers as a child: Pool parties, BBQ’s, long lazy days and nights, sleeping late, sleepovers in the middle of the week, no homework, my birthdays. As a kid I wished it were summer all year round. Sometimes I still do, so it’s important to me that my […]
Chocolate, Like Love, Is Never Wrong
Oh my friends, it’s been one of those days when only chocolate will make things right again. But I’m a bit of a diva, so not just any chocolate will do. Here are a few of my favorite dark chocolate bars. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t share? Eat them without […]
The Best Guacamole Recipe
If I could eat guacamole everyday, I would. In fact, I’ve been known to dream about it. Here is my absolutely most favorite guacamole recipe.

12 Songs to Help Get You Bathing Suit Ready (Or Close Enough)
Summer will be here before you know it and you know what that means: skimpy frocks and – dare I say it?! – bathing suits. For some of us who have been hitting the Girl Scout Cookies pretty hard, it’s time to start thinking about getting our booty (and everywhere else) lifted and looking good. […]
Tips From The Tooth Fairy
I’m not just another ordinary Tooth Fairy. I don’t just slip cash under kids’ pillows. I also pull teeth. My kids’ teeth and even their friends’ teeth. Moms love this, as I save them a small fortune in dentist bills. I come from a long line of tooth pulling Tooth Fairies. And I can say […]
Brussels Sprouts Aren’t That Scary
We all know how healthy green veggies are, but how much spinach and green beans can one person eat? So I’ve moved on to Brussels Sprouts. Yeah, you heard me right. I used to think Brussels sprouts weren’t for the faint of heart because they were bitter and odd looking. I just didn’t know how […]
