I’m in NYC for a few days to attend the BlogHer Writer’s conference. Just arrived a few minutes ago and already I feel electric energy from the city. I love that. Of course New York is glittery and fabulous for me (and millions of other people) because it just IS, but I also equate this [...]

It’s impossible to even try to capture the bliss of our weekend. It was, hands down, one of the best I have ever had. Sunday, in particular was the ultimate day for us. It was one of those perfect Fall days in Philadelphia – the kind of day where you could totally put on a [...]

I would like to pretend that I was incredibly calm and mellow when I heard that Vicki, Debbi, and Sussana were about to walk up the stairs. And I don’t mean they were about to walk up to the stage. I mean they were walking up to the little atrium area of the theatre where [...]

I know that I am not unique when it comes to being a girl child of the 80′s that carried a torch for The Bangles. They were beautiful, they had great hair, they had cool clothes, they sang songs that I could sing along too and (hurrah!) their songs were on the radio all the [...]

He’s in “super helper” phase right now so we have been working on establishing some new routines where he gets [...]

Ok fine. I’m not getting married. I’m getting bummed. In addition to not having a sidekick to my life I also don’t have all the COOL STUFF that a person gets when they find and marry their side kick. I routinely discover, when asking a friend about a cool gadget or appliance that it was [...]

Welcome to the 1st day of Summer Camp! Day 1 – Provide a photo or sketch or dramatic rendering of the space where you normally blog: Once upon a time I had a fantastic and stunning desk that I blogged from. It belonged to Millie’s father and then he gave it to my Grandfather and [...]
