What I Learned This Week Vol. 21

janmary

Besides learning that my DVR is allergic to So You Think You Can Dance results shows (for the second week in a row, it failed to record.  ARGH!) and discovering The Next Food Network Star (I’m totally hooked on this show!!), I also learned for the umpteenth time that this blogging thing never ceases to [...]

She Speaks Roll Call

speaker2

I can’t believe She Speaks is just one month away!  Ever since Lysa Terkeurst asked me to speak on the topic of giveaways and working with companies, I have alternated between being exhilarated and terrified.  I am SO not a speaker.  However, I could talk about blogging until my voice withers away to nothing, so [...]

Fashion Question of the Week (and other assorted commentary on my life)

It’s Monday.  Sigh…  I don’t know why I’m always caught by surprise.  Mondays come along every week.  But they never get any easier. I’m feeling pretty beat up today.  I pulled an ab muscle doing the Shred on Saturday (no thanks to those dang walkout push ups!) and I wasn’t able to complete the ab [...]

Tiger Woods, we are not.

This afternoon I found myself home alone with the kids once again — not like I don’t do this all week or anything.  To save my sanity, I decided to get out of the house and do something fun.  I considered the pool, but the story in the local newspaper last night of an almost-drowning [...]

Links and Shout Outs

I just found out my cousin has a blog!  It’s called Tidy Brown Wren, and it’s all about homemaking and organization.  I can personally attest that Kelly is the most organized and thoughtful homemaker that I know.  I’ve always aspired to be like her.  She probably doesn’t even know that, but now she does.  I [...]

My Brush with Fame

When Beth and I heard that Diane Birch was doing a free concert in Philly, we jumped at the chance to leave the kids at home and escape to the city for the day.  Defying all manner of odds on our respective homefronts this morning, we both managed to arrive at World Cafe Live with [...]

All In A Day’s Work!

This morning I’m off to Philly to see Diane Birch in concert and hopefully meet her for a quick picture after the show.  SQUEEE!!!  I know, it’s a rough life.  I’m meeting my local blogging buddy Beth, and I hope to see Barbara Jones for a brief hello as well.  I’m sure we’ll find a [...]

Do you curl?

We’re talking about eyelash curlers on Chic Critique today.

In Which She Rambles (but that would be nothing new…)

You know how sometimes you go days with NOTHING to blog about and you delve far into the recesses of your brain to find something interesting to say?  And then you have a week when there is too much to say and too much to do to take the time to say it?  Yeah, I’m [...]

How To Roast Vegetables

DSC_0038

Alternatively titled: Vegetables That Even Your Kids Will Eat Several of you have asked if I could share my tips on cooking vegetables, particularly roasting them. I  make no bones about it. I am not a veggie person. I particularly dislike them raw. I do like fresh veggies if they are cooked JUST RIGHT (not [...]
