Goal for 2012 :: GIVE

125 Kidworth

With the start of a new year, I always find myself renewed and invigorated to start fresh in all areas of my life. It’s like when I was a kid, and I got to start a new school year with a desk full of pristine school supplies. It feel like someone just handed me a [...]

2011 In Pictures

Family Picture at Hawk Mountain Preserve

I did this last year, and I had so much fun reading back through it that I decided to do it for 2011 — a little walk down memory lane, I guess you could say! Jill just reminded me that I did a linky the last two years, so I’m adding one now. I love [...]

No Use Crying Over Spilt Milk . . . or so they say.

spilt milk

Some people tell me that I sound like I have it all together, but I am here to tell you that is so far from the truth it’s not even funny. This story I’m about to tell you is so typical of my life that I could only shake my head and laugh. ONLY ME! [...]

Because Christmas waits for no man (or woman)

It’s finally starting to feel like Christmas around here. I think it all started with my quick jaunt to NYC last week. And then we finally got our tree. The mild weather we were enjoying has finally been replaced with crisp, chilly typical-December temps, and we even saw snow flurries on Saturday. Plus I’ve been [...]

Powder Room Makeover

I just have to sing my mother’s praises one more time. When I left for Atlanta, she had helped me quite a bit with my holiday decorating, but while I was gone she tweaked it even more, and I arrived home to a Christmas wonderland. I will have to take some pictures for you. But [...]

The Arden Experience

Fern and Wilbur | Charlotte's Web at the Arden

I always forget how much I love live theater until I go. I grew up going to live theater productions, and I’m glad that it’s something we’ve been able to do with our kids. It is actually my husband who instigated our first visit to the Christmas Panto at a theater in our area, and [...]

I. Hate. Decorating.

There. I said it. I so want one of those gorgeous impeccably decorated houses with clever, original touches but it is so not me. I don’t even peruse DIY and crafty decorator blogs that often because it just makes me feel inept and inadequate. I admire people with the knack. But I don’t have it. There are [...]

Don’t You All Wish You Lived in Philly?

Philly Social Media Moms

A few years ago, a small group of Philly area mom bloggers decided to get together and meet for dinner. Most of us had never met in person before that night, but there in that cozy room at Buca Di Beppo, the group that would eventually be known as the Philly Social Media Moms was [...]

More Birthdays with Tiny Prints

Tiny Prints More Birthdays cards

One of my favorite card companies, Tiny Prints, has teamed up with the American Cancer Society to create a collection of very special birthday cards called More Birthdays. The American Cancer Society believes that every birthday is a victory – another year that cancer has not won. Thanks in part to the Society’s cutting-edge scientific research, [...]

Halloween Festivities

Not too scary, are they?

Despite OctSNOWber, Halloween must go on. Yesterday morning, my kids happily boarded the schoolbus (albeit 2 hours late) with snow still blanketing the front yards in our neighborhood and their costumes snugly tucked away in their backpacks. I spent the morning preparing Halloween snacks for three classrooms before heading to school for the annual Halloween Parade. Since [...]
