Book Review: “Fishbowl” By Bradley Somer
Cats are so weird. Take my cat Leo, for example. Every morning I spend several minutes realigning throw rugs and straightening couch pillows in order to tidy up from his 4:00am wild tear around the house.

Book Review: “Weightless” By Sarah Bannan
I was 11 years old when my parents told me that we were moving to Los Angeles. I was thrilled, of course.

Starting a new school in the middle of the … [Read more...]

My husband will tell you that I’m obsessed with the thought of head lice. He’s right.

Book Review: “Pieces Of My Mother: A Memoir” By Melissa Cistaro
I was a tad annoyed last month when my husband gave me a Fitbit for our anniversary. It’s not that I didn’t appreciate the thought, or the gift for that matter.
