We moms are forever hearing the phrase, "You need to take care of yourself so you can take good care of your kids". You know what? It's true. Duh, you're thinking, I know. But it's not always easy to take care of ourselves. I breast fed for a long time so I didn't go … [Read more...]
What makes a great marriage ?
Marriages have resilience the same way other things do; friendships, the human body, the human spirit and perhaps most resilient of all; children. (At least we are all hoping this is true)I have heard and observed too first hand, that this resilience has an expiry and drop dead time frame. … [Read more...]
Weekend Update – “Friends” edition pt. 2
I just realized that it was exactly one year ago to the day that I wrote this post. Last year we gathered for a wedding. Yesterday we gathered to see one of the guys who now lives in Prague with his family. We hadn't seen him in a long while and thought that a full gathering was in … [Read more...]
Grownup Time: Love of a Good Woman
I have mad love for the bunch of great women in my book club, so it seems like I should be all over this... First of all, let me tell you a bit about our host, Julie.

What’s in a Name?
It was Shakespeare who wrote that, and by george, the Bard is usually one smart cookie. But here's a case where I might just have to disagree with his poetic wisdom. Because I happen to think that names are actually pretty important. Well, at least to me. Which is precisely why I had such a terribly … [Read more...]
Barbie Dolls, Action Figures, Childhood Idols and a Contest!
Over the years I've met a lot of celebrities, and they're not always the easiest people to deal with. In fact, I've had some downright horrible experiences with people I looked on as idols. So last week, when I realized what I'd be doing and who I'd be photographing, I went in with a … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – July 15th, 2011
I have trouble with florals on myself, but I bought this dress on sale from the Gap last year, but during the summer months, it was just way too big for Madame. The shoulder straps are spaced extremely wide... this child's no linebacker. I was completely thrilled to see that it fits this summer! … [Read more...]

Last week I randomly picked up Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet" at our library, thinking it might have some good vegetarian recipes I could try out.
