I’m going to start a feature called Friday Favorites. I’ll be posting some of my old recipes and posts on Fridays. O.K. basically it’s reruns. But maybe it’s new to you! Maybe you didn’t know who I was back when I posted my Snickerdoodle tutorial the first time. It was years ago. Here’s your second […]
Do you have the little handheld game called 20Q? It’s based on the game called 20 questions and is eerily, freakily correct most of the time. We have one of these floating around our house (actually I think we have two) and every once in a while I have the urge to try to outwit […]
As you probably know, I live in Texas. I am in Austin and when Hurricane Harvey hit, aside from people creating a ridiculous gas shortage that was of their own devising, nothing much happened. There were copious amounts of rain and wind all weekend, and my brother–who was supposed to fly in for a visit–had […]
This is where I park my minivan, Betsy, every day. Right here in the driveway. Yesterday afternoon I walked out to get in my car to pick up my kids from Middle School. Only, this is what greeted me. No car. Before you ask if it was stolen let me assure you that it wasn’t. […]
Isn’t it so exciting to get ready for the kids to go back to school? Normally I start out super organized and ready for the school year. All the kids’ lockers and lunch boxes are cleaned out and ready to go–normally. But this year it didn’t really happen like that. This year started out with […]
I’ve been digging on this album by Priscilla Ahn. Very light and ethereal, but serious. Her voice is charming. The more I listen the more I love. And you can download the whole album on itunes for $6.99. Quel bargain.
I haven’t talked much about mascara in a while. At the beginning of the summer I had a bout of Pink Eye which required me to throw away all my eye makeup and start from scratch. It takes me a while to get over Pink Eye and I like to wait a few weeks before […]
WARNING: I am super opinionated about some things. Well, most things actually. And I’m pretty sure you won’t agree with me on this one. But I don’t mind if you don’t mind. My sister Arianne blogged yesterday about telling her kids about Santa. There is no way I could say what I need to say […]

Since the holidays are coming up I thought I might be of assistance if you have a 9-13 year old boy that you’ll be gifting to. Sometimes preteen boys can be a little hard to buy gifts for if you don’t want to get anything involving video games or weapons. Don’t get me wrong, a […]
I have straight hair that rarely gives me any trouble. I always wished it were curly, but it isn’t and I’m learning to accept that. It used to be rather thick but is also baby fine. Now it seems that my hair isn’t quite so think any more (Am I actually going bald? I cannot, […]

I am a huge fan of documentaries and will watch just about any of them that hit our local theatres. Last year I saw one called What Would Jesus Buy. At first I thought it might be some sort of a sacreligious thing, but it was actually a fantastic movie about the crazy commercialization of […]
