Let’s sit down for a second to talk turkey wine. I’ve got my “wine glasses” or “rosé glasses” to set the mood. As happy as I look in my new shades, you might doubt my depth of knowledge on the subject. I do know enough to be dangerous. I...
In the next few weeks we will be shopping, shopping, shopping. We will be buying for ourselves, for someone else and for ourselves again. I always see things I really “need” during the holiday shopping excursions. While searching for the perfect thing, I have...
My bedside table is home to stacks of waiting-to-be-read books, a lamp and a clock radio. I’m not even sure how hold my clock radio is, but it’s old technology I contemplate disposing of each time I dust. I don’t use the alarm or the radio. It’s overkill...
The end of an era occurred last night. High school football is over for my son and his parents. Tears were in everyone’s eyes. Guys with their pads, slapping each other on the back or trying to give bear hugs around chests as wide as a Mack truck, nearly...
Dressing for the holidays this year could not be EASIER. I bet there is something in the closet, a black top, a cream top, a sparkle top that could be repurposed. Any of the tops from basic to WOW could change into something fabulously fresh with new BLING. Jewelry...

Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week right now. The only hard commitment in my day, besides the morning fire drill of making breakfasts and lunches for my teens, are guitar lessons for my youngest son. At 3 o’clock, I battle the high school parking lot to pick...
How do you do it? Sometimes I wonder myself. I work out at 6 AM three days a week. People think I’m crazy and/or stupid. I can’t help it. I like getting it out of the way. Supposedly more calories are burned if I work out on an empty stomach first thing in the...
The last time I fixed something was yesterday morning. I changed two light bulbs in the ceiling. This probably doesn’t sound like much but if I didn’t do it, we would still be cutting carrots in the shadows or knocking pictures off the walls as we made our way...
Some days, it’s just gotta be: Mom sleeps. I’m ignoring all responsibilities except driving my son to a practice ACT test. And to notify my blog-challenge cheerleaders, I’m here, but dragging. My bed has never been so welcoming and warm. You know you need it when just...
