This year has flown by. It seems that just a year ago I was setting up the Christmas tree and beginning the flurry of activities that happen in December. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I tend to go a little overboard. (Probably because I had no Christmas when I was little, but that’s a […]
So I like to take pictures. My family hates it. I’m the one at all events with a camera slung around her neck saying, “Hold it. Let me get a picture.” Followed by moans and groans and rumbling of discontent. My little guy has resorted to “ruining” every picture by making a funny face. Who […]
I’m not sure where I first heard Paper Route, but I love, love, love them! This is an indie rock band that hails from Nashville, TN. They have some pretty deep lyrics, a cool and an unpretentious vibe reminiscent of some 80’s bands like Tears for Fears and Mr. Mister. They released their newest album, […]
I really need an extra hour in my day. I mean, it’s October and there are a ton of new fall television shows for me to get sucked into. Have you started watching any cool new shows this season? In years past, I couldn’t wait for the special TV Guide Fall Preview issue. I’d read […]
Owning a dog is a learning experience and an exercise in extreme patience. We have an eight-month-old Portuguese Water Dog. Porties are hypo-allergenic, active, sweet natured and lovable dogs.

I tend to do a lot of runs on the treadmill since I have two kids who aren’t old enough to babysit themselves and I have to squeeze in workouts whenever I can. I’m the kind of runner that doesn’t mind the treadmill. I don’t get dizzy or disoriented. Plus, I really love being able […]
Today is bittersweet. I am lucky to be a mom to two wonderful kids, who spoiled me. Early this morning, while I went for a run, they went to the bagel shop to pick up one of my favorite breakfast foods – bagels of course. My amazing husband made bacon that melted in my mouth […]
Do you all watch The Voice? Well I’m participating in an event called “The Writer’s Voice”. Check out the skinny on Brenda Drake’s blog. In following the instructions, I need to post my query blurb and first 250 words on my blog. Yikes!! It’s going to be out there – for the whole world to […]
