Memorial Day is just around the corner. This is honestly one of my favorite holidays — I love that it’s a relaxed, no pressure sort of holiday where you don’t have to think about buying presents or hiding treats or planning a festive outfit clothes. You just get an extra day to lay around, read,… Continue Reading →
I hope you are enjoying your Mother’s Day. It’s gorgeous here in Philly. We attended church this morning and now I’m on my way out to my son’s first baseball game of the season. It doesn’t get much better than this! If this is a hard day for you due to the loss of your… Continue Reading →
I’ve never sat down and watched an entire football game in my life. But I’m also not one to turn down the opportunity to party. I have such fond memories of Game Day celebrations growing up.

We are entertaining this weekend, and we have out of town guests coming to stay with us during the week after Christmas, so I really want to feel good about my… Continue Reading →
I’ve confessed before that home decorating does not come naturally to me. I love a well appointed home, but achieving that on my own is hopeless. I don’t get it. I feel like I have a good eye. I know what I like when I like it, and I can walk through any home goods… Continue Reading →
When I first moved here almost 18 years ago as a young bride, one of the first places my new mother-in-law took me was Longwood Gardens. I had never seen such incredible gardens. I fell in love. I quickly learned of Pierre duPont and his incredible philanthropy and how his legacy has impacted our area… Continue Reading →
Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you’re aware of the newish Christmas tradition — The Elf on the Shelf. This is a silly story that someone dreamed up about a mischievous elf that watches over the children of the house to see who is bad and who is good and reports back to Santa each… 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 →
