mama, i’m a big girl now
happy day after thanksgiving!!! after declaring that i wasn’t going crazy over preparations, wednesday i got motivated to put together a nice spread for my immediate family. interestingly, somehow taking the pressure off, inspired my best work to-date. i can’t remember the last thanksgiving meal that i prepared without the assistance of my mom, dad, […]
ready, set, jet!
are you planning to travel this holiday season? i don’t mean a car trip to stay at your in-laws, but rather a vacation to some exotic locale. if so, you may get a kick out of some of my random travel musings that i wrote weeks ago, airborne from SFO to CLT: i’ve always fantasized […]
frenemies…
yesterday i was searching thru pinterest, for thanksgiving ideas…ah pinterest! friend or foe? if you’ve seen my boards and had to guess my answer, you’d probably say, “friend.” but, i’m not so so sure. yes, i have nearly 5,000 pins…top 2 or 3 of my personal friends, but far from the numbers that some have […]
all that glitters…
“you don’t miss your water til your well runs dry. cliche but true. appreciate what you have while you have it” “…and write love letters while you wait” the above was a recent tweeter exchange between me and my bff. her response might seem strange, but she knew that my tweet was in reference to […]

[…]

we’ve all seen pictures of glamorous celebrity moms and their well-dressed children. while i try to keep my kids looking good, i’ve never really been much of a glamour puss. thank God i’m not a celebrity and there’s no paparazzi trailing me, because in a recent photo of myself, i was shocked and dismayed by […]
back on track…
my life can feel a bit like a runaway train at times. as much as i want to feel like, i’ve got things under control, there are so many variables, i often find myself running behind it like a mad woman. and, unfortunately, this kind of running doesn’t burn off the white-chocolate mochas that seem […]
adventures in trains and automobiles
fifteen years ago i developed an infatuation with new york city. so when we would visit my in-laws in new jersey, i would always make a point of getting over to “the city” for a day or two to visit friends who lived there. even when hubby’s folks moved further west, over the border, to […]
yes, dear, you have to sort it first…
i interrupt my musings on city life and country life and island life to bring you a post on everyday life. specifically, i’m hear to talk to ya about laundry…yep laundry! i’ve been wanting to do a laundry post for a while. i love that nostalgia of laundry hanging on a line and i love […]
