How many times have you heard, "I don't eat breakfast, I'm not hungry when I get up", or "I just don't have time in the morning". I know I used to think I was saving calories by not eating breakfast. Just a cup of Joe and I'll be fine till lunch. WRONG!!! There are so many little things in life … [Read more...]
Organized Gift Giving
Do you know, on Friday I was in the UPS store (shipping gifts to overseas family) and I bumped into this guy:He pulled out his watch and reminded me that there were only 6 weeks (exactly!) until Christmas. That's 42 days or, as he liked to put it, 1008 hours. Wow! Now, some of the … [Read more...]
Before I was a Mother…
I was the BEST MOTHER EVER! I knew everything there was to know about raising a child- and, seriously, how hard could it be? I am a trained teacher. If I could handle thirty Grade 5 children, then how difficult could one tiny baby be? I was pretty sure that the secret-society … [Read more...]
You Don’t Win Friends With….
In the immortal words of Homer Simpson and my husband: "You don't win friends with salad!"

And Robert Downey, Jr, who I have been enjoying as of late. … [Read more...]

Some Beauty Products Never Go Out of Style
Botox. Restylane. Collagen. It's hard to keep track of all the new beauty products being launched first in cosmetic surgeons offices, and often making their way to our drugstore aisles. If you tried to keep pace with the new innovations, your own bathroom could start looking more like a mad … [Read more...]
Wednesday Affirmation
You know that icebreaker that the corporate trainers always pull out at big meetings? The one where you have to come up with a list of the five people, dead or alive, that you'd most like to have dinner with? Well, I kind of like to keep a running list of those kind of people (and no, it's not THAT … [Read more...]
On Tonight: The Biggest Loser
Let's catch up with The Biggest Loser, shall we? Last week, everybody's least favorite contestant was told, much to everyone's glee, that she was not, in fact, the Biggest Loser and her light went out.
