Buy Good Chocolate.

October 31, 2013 by Emily 2 Comments

[youtube id="YlVICw_kydM"] The last week of October to roughly the second week of February is peak chocolate-buying season, but do you know where your cocoa (and other candy ingredients) comes from? I mean, like, do you really know?  I will never look at cheap coffee, chocolate or sugar the … [Read more...]

A Couple of Carvers

October 31, 2013 by Christine 2 Comments

There are so many things about parenthood that irk me. And I know that I will miss those things when my kids grow up. The toys scattered throughout the house. The printing on the walls. The fingerprints on the windows. One thing I know I won't miss is carving a pumpkin at Halloween. I absolutely … [Read more...]

Living In The Age of Miracles…with Conair Curl Secret

October 30, 2013 by Jennifer 6 Comments

The word "miracle" tends to get a little bit overused. It's probably not a miracle when your child finally sleeps through the night (though I agree, it feels like it). Though we appreciate it, it's not a miracle that Miley Cyrus has finally been photographed with her tongue planted firmly in cheek. … [Read more...]

Halloween (the pre-show)

October 30, 2013 by Ryan 2 Comments

Our sense of smell has to be our strongest sense, no doubt. Last night we carved our pumpkin and I gotta tell ya, as soon as I opened up the top of that bad boy, the smell of the inside of the pumpkin took me back to being a kid. What a wonderful tradition carving a pumpkin is. I don’t know who … [Read more...]

Anxious? There’s a Website For That.

October 29, 2013 by Emily 4 Comments

The best thing about pregnancy is that eventually it ends and you resolve to never, ever let a boy touch you again. The worst thing, aside from the weird new body hair and the crying, is the worrying. Every time I'd open up "What to Expect When You're Expecting" the book would automatically flip … [Read more...]

From My Closet – October 28th, 2013

October 28, 2013 by Urban Closet 19 Comments

Something I'd been searching for was a pair of black moto-style boots, but not ones that would prove too heavy or too clunky-looking on my ankle. I've had my eyes peeled for some time, so when I was at the Nine West store a few weeks back, when I bought this excellent pair of mary janes, I had a … [Read more...]

You know it's going to be busy this after school when the kids will be rushing home after being loaded up with treats at the school Halloween party.

Making A Wish

October 28, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

Sometimes making a wish is a very good thing. Sometimes believing  something will help you when you need that help, is worth embracing. Sometimes making a wish and sending it off will bring about the change you await. You start, most importantly, with a group who mean so much to you. And a cocktail … [Read more...]
