Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig. I’ve been besotted by them ever since I heard them purr, “Bond. James Bond.” I’m a sucker for men with British accents. And men who look good in tuxedos. What’s not to like? Bonds are like wild, exotic animals. Elusive, dangerous, powerful, elegant…sexy. One kiss from them […]
If It’s Not Me, It’s Carmen Miranda: Fashion Mistakes Of My Youth
I cringe at the thought of my first (and only) date with Mr. Handsome. I had a HUGE crush on him and his chiseled features for years. He was several years older, so naturally, I wanted to wear something special. That was my first mistake. I was going to pull out all the stops. I […]
8 Reasons Why I No Longer Jog
On my blissful morning walk, I gazed at a young runner and thought wistfully, that used to be me. Young. And able to run. Don’t get me wrong, if the house were on fire (heaven forbid) or I wanted to beat the crowd to get to the front of the line at Sprinkles Cupcakes, I […]

How I Met My Husband: When Love Is Meant To Be
When my kids were little, they used to love hearing the story of how my husband and I met. I told them we were in kindergarten and we were having lunch in the sandbox. Instead of pulling my hair to get my attention, he dropped my peanut butter and jelly sandwich into the sand. Our […]
Fifty Shades Of Grey, But Not The Good Kind
When I think of Fifty Shades of Grey, I’m not thinking of the mouth wateringly naughty best seller; the one I just couldn’t put down. I’m referring to the ever burgeoning growth of silver on the top of my head. I blame it on my father. You see, I inherited many good things from him; […]
How To Clean Up The Holiday Madness
I only write about products that I use and love. So, when Method reached out to me, I was delighted to be able to shout from the rooftop (or online equivalent) about how much I adore their products. For years I’ve been using their hand and dish washing soaps, which come in eye-catching colors, shapely […]
What I’m Most Thankful For On Thanksgiving – Aside From Not Having To Cook
Around this time of year, I start pulling out the few Thanksgiving decorations I own. Two stuffed turkeys, a bendable pilgrim and a few little pumpkins. They are all very cutesy and my kids like to tell me they’ve outgrown them, but Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I can’t help but get […]
6 Things I Would Tell My 20-Year-Old Self
At twenty I was like many kids at that age: A youthful mixture of bravado and immaturity. Every thing seemed SO important. EVERY decision was larger than life. Yet honestly, I didn’t have a clue who I was. In reality, I was just a girl who would struggle with frizzy hair for almost forty years […]
Halloween: Bring. It. On.
I love Halloween. The trick or treating, the haunted houses, the kids in costumes, the decorations, the candy! It’s even better than Valentine’s Day, because you get to dress up. When my kids were little and had no choice but to hang with the hubby and I on Halloween, friends would gather at our house […]
Wordless Wednesday: Start The Day With A Smile
Every morning I look out into the garden and see my happy friend. I know if he’s laughing and smiling it’s going to be a good day. He’s got it all figured out. What is your morning routine to help start your day on the right track?
