If you read my post last Friday you know that our weekend was a fun-filled one. (Read heavy on the sarcasm.) I mean, who wouldn’t want to spend 12 hours cleaning out the garage and another 14 hours haggling with strangers about how much they should pay for box upon box of once-treasured memories? I […]

Most of my childhood was spent fantasizing about the day I would make my living as a television star. I can’t even count how many inspired scenes and acceptance speeches I rehearsed in my bathroom mirror. I just never thought my television debut would result from something as ordinary as a garage sale. Look for […]

People frequently ask me questions about the business side of blogging and how we justify the time and money we pour into it. And by people, I mean the IRS. Just kidding, y’all. We’ve never been audited. [Until she was dumb enough to put that in writing.] Seriously, though, I’ve had several friends and family […]

Oh, hello there! Sorry, I didn’t hear you come in. I’m just in the kitchen where I always am…whipping up a batch of organic, gluten-free cookies with my perfectly well-behaved baby while I update my blog.

I forget myself sometimes. It happens every time I attend a live theatre performance. Especially on Broadway. I forget that I’m a wife. I forget that I’m a mother. I forget that I actually drive a minivan. I forget that I can’t move to New York and work in a restaurant the rest of my […]

I couldn’t pull myself away from the computer last night as I read article after article about the senseless bombings that occurred in Boston. I can’t imagine the gore, the terror, the agony and the panic that those people and their families must have experienced. My heart is so heavy…

No photo sums up our weekend trip to New York City better than this one: L-O-V-E. Loved our first weekend away with just the two of us since the kiddos were born.
