As a writer, I like to consider myself a storyteller. When Buddy was small, we would sometimes make up stories at bedtime, rather than selecting a tale from his vast library of Dr. Seuss and Little Golden books. And it appears he is a chip off the old block. A few months ago, Buddy was sitting […]

Oscar Fashions 2013: Hit or Miss?
I’m not quite sure what to think of last night’s red carpet fashions. Where were the trends? The only thing I noticed was a lot of black/silver/gray combos, plenty of both white and gold gowns, and a few sprinkles of red. With few exceptions (Jennifer Aniston, Kerry Washington, Reese Witherspoon) it wasn’t a particularly colorful […]
Favorite Things Friday: Woven the Photo Sharing App
I am really bad at deleting photos on my iPhone. Like, to the point where I’ve hit my storage capacity three or four times over the last few months and couldn’t take any more photos, download or update apps, etc. Hmm, could the 1,000+ photos on my Camera Roll have something to do with it? […]

Let’s just […]
Meal Planning: Week of Feb. 17
It’s here: school vacation week. (Insert ominous music). Between our crazy schedule and work travel, this week’s menu is a little low-key: One of my best friends (who is also a total foodie) recommended the roasted garlic brussel sprouts recipe, so I am dying to try it. Whenever she suggests I try a recipe, […]
Favorite Things Friday: Fiber One Protein Bars
I think I have a post-Valentine’s Day chocolate hangover. Between the Hershey’s kisses and the incredible chocolate mousse cake Dr. G. brought home, I totally indulged on massive amounts of chocolatey goodness yesterday, and it was heavenly. But now it’s February 15. Back to reality. I still love my chocolate, though, so I was excited […]
