Holy mother-of-pearl! I found two, two, two grey hairs on my head yesterday. I realize that I am 37 and that this was bound to happen. (My little sister has been going grey for years. Sorry Ari, I had to tell.) I have been suffering from this crazy, insane notion that somehow I wouldn’t actually […]
This time of year I’m reminded that I don’t really care for pie. I kind of like chocolate-y pies, and some lemon pies. To me the mystery of the universe is pumpkin pie. pie + vegetables = not a chance I don’t care how much whipped cream you slather on top, it still tastes healthy […]
I mentioned earlier how I like to be showered and ready before my kids wake up. This is not because I am disciplined (so laughable!) or have my life together. It’s because showering while Ada and Jasper are up and about leads to nothing but trouble. As I found out yesterday. This is what I […]
My body aches, I’m tired, and my nose is very stuffed up. All I’ve wanted to eat is something delicious. So I had a piece of Jasper’s birthday cake (cherry chocolate with chocolate glaze). Only I couldn’t really taste it. All I could taste was “sweet”. And that is perhaps the saddest part of […]

. . . why nobody has told me they’ve gotten their flour yet. Is everyone so busy that they haven’t once been to the store? Doubtful. Today is your last day. This is one of the most important (if not THE most important) item you’ll have in your food storage. So let’s not slack off […]

What is going on? It seems like every other person I know is training for a triathlon. Why triathlons? Why all of a sudden? Three years ago nobody was doing triathlons, and now I’m the only one who isn’t training. Seriously, what is the allure? I don’t like running, but at least running kind of […]
Like most girls growing up in the late 80’s-early 90’s I had a soft spot in my heart for Harry Connick, Jr. He was the essence of the debonair, romantic gentleman who would be coming along to sweep my off my feet any second now. But his music framed a couple of my doomed relationships […]
Is it just me or has the whole world gone crazy for eyelash extensions and coloring? I’m hearing about this stuff all over the place and it’s not cheap. I don’t get it; eyelashes are just a thin line of hair. Yes, they might emphasize the eye but I can think of a dozen things […]
You remember my post about the phases of blog relationships? Well, this week I had a chance to go all the way with Jennifer, the (soon to be) Baby Making Machine. She was as cute and funny and darling as she is on her blog. It was wonderful and I had a great time (hope […]
The one thing that I want you to learn about make-up is to be open to change. We all knew those women when we were growing up who looked like relics of the sixties and seventies because they were afraid to try something new and go for a more modern look. We don’t want to […]
This girl, my oldest child, turned fifteen a few days ago. The ultra weird thing is that I remember being fifteen. I remember it quite well. My fifteenth year was the one when my relationship with my mother reached an all-out toxic point and we mutually agreed that it would be better for me to […]
Dear Selwyn, Sorry things are so yucky for you right now with the ex being a douche bag. Here is the recipe for the amazingly wonderful Cream Cheese Brownies to help you drown your sorrows. I would send you some but you live in Australia and they would taste wretched by the time they arrived. […]
