I made a list of some of your suggestions for future posts from my Reader Survey earlier in the week, and I thought I’d start with this one! If your husband doesn’t mind too much, I’d love to hear more about how you make that relationship work. What do your date nights look like? How… Continue Reading →
Friday was my 39th birthday. Many have wished me a happy “first 39th birthday,” as it seems to be the one many want to hold on to. I admit, I do get a bit caught up in the numbers. I usually start calling myself the next number at least 6 months in advance, to get… Continue Reading →
My husband is gifted. He can fix anything. He can put together anything. He can trouble shoot anything. Just give him a task and leave him alone for a few minutes, and he will figure it out. He’s the type to throw away the directions that come with unassembled products. He’ll put them together with no… Continue Reading →
1) What great advice from Da Momma. Treat Your First Like Your First – Motherhood is Not for Wimps. 2) THIS is why I’m so uptight about what we feed our kids and how many opportunities they have to eat junk, even when I keep it out of the house. As if we needed further… Continue Reading →
One of the best parts about vacationing with my family in Maine is the free babysitting. My parents are always willing to watch whichever kids we don’t care to accompany us on any given outing. We often take one or two of our older kids and go hiking or sight-seeing, but at least once on… Continue Reading →
I guess my husband didn’t appreciate the post where I said I had hijacked his Kindle and was never going to return it. Look what he got me for my birthday (which is not until Thursday but he has no patience, and neither do I!) He’s been telling me he was going to reclaim his.… Continue Reading →
Our weekend at the Hyatt got off to a late start on account of the fact that I had to get my nails looking purty and my husband had to get the yard looking purty. But right after lunch, we set out for the Eastern Shore with the windows rolled down and the sunroof open. … Continue Reading →
Last year you may (or may not) remember that I participated in Hyatt’s The Big Welcome campaign and received a free night at the Hyatt. I also got to give away a free night at the Hyatt to five lucky readers. Well, guess what? I was recently asked if I would like to be a… Continue Reading →
I’ve lived in the greater Philadelphia area for going on 14 years, and for many of those years I lived a stone’s throw from the city, but I had never been to the famed Reading Terminal Market until last weekend. After our free night at the Park Hyatt, we found ourselves on Saturday morning in… Continue Reading →
Night away, that is. Why yes, we had a lovely night at the Hyatt on Friday, thanks for asking. Heh. I always say, the first prerequisite for blogging is the ability to crack yourself up. At least I have that part patted down. (My mom used to have a secretary for whom English was a… Continue Reading →
I’m glad you're here! I'm a writer, talker, coffee addict and collector of people and handbags. I live outside of Philly with my husband, 3 children, and a terribly spoiled shih tzu named Savannah. Read More →
