I’ve seen a few really wonderful videos this week and wanted to share them with you. If you could use a little inspiration during the dreariest time of year, these videos will definitely provide it. I cried a little after watching this video. And I sobbed after this one. In a good way. […]

In my humble opinion, this is probably the funniest I’ll Take That Dare of all time. Also, the most embarrassing. (Apologies, Jill. I’m fully expecting some sort of revenge.) I posted this on Facebook earlier this week and my friends, normally very chatty, were eerily silent. It was a little creepy, to tell you the […]

Food confession: I may have become a little bit obsessed with Beef Stroganoff. Seeing recipes for it over the years, it seemed like it SHOULD be delicious. Thin strips of beef. Egg noodles.

There’s nothing that can put you in a bad mood quite like taking down the Christmas decorations and realizing you have at least two more months of cold, dreary, weather ahead, with no twinkling lights or holiday cookies to provide a distraction. January is generally the saddest time of year as far as my house […]

Like pretty much every other woman in America, I get a whole bunch of catalogs in the mail. I used to look forward to finding a few minutes in the week to page through some of them, but lately I just find them depressing. That’s because over the last few years it’s become painfully obvious […]

My eight-year-old daughter has been struggling this year to make friends in her class, and it has bothered me more than it should. Sadly, my angst is nothing new. Having raised two stepdaughters, I know all too well the hand-wringing that comes with watching my kids learn to navigate the rough waters of socialization. As […]
