We’re an allergy family. Seasonal allergies plague 3 out of the 5 of us, we all have some level of allergic reaction to dogs and cats and horses, and then there are the food allergies and sensitivities. Most of us have a mild form of asthma, and there’s a history of eczema as well. Science is… Continue Reading →
Looking for a last minute Mother’s Day gift idea for someone who loves to cook? Check this out. While I was away at Mom 2.0, I received this package of goodies from the Giada De Laurentiis for Target kitchen collection. I get a lot of products for review with no obligation to write about them, and… Continue Reading →
Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and many of us have mothers and daughters and other women in our lives we want to honor on this momentous Hallmark-inspired occasion. I jest. Truly, I love Hallmark. They make the best cards – especially the Shoebox ones. I could sit and read those all day just for the fun of… Continue Reading →
True confession: Until about a year ago, I was never one to carry a compact in my purse. I always carried lipstick, but that was it. I hardly ever touched up my face when I was out and about. But a few months ago I went to a travel blogging conference at which the fabulous… Continue Reading →

Besides, I’m certainly not one to turn down chocolate and flowers! Of course, if you’re one… Continue Reading →
I have had the pleasure of introducing you to many bloggers-gone-authors over the years, and today I am excited to tell you about Amy Allen Clark’s new book, The Good Life for Less! Amy and I go way back. We’ve known each other pretty much since the dawn of the Internet, and she is one of… Continue Reading →
This morning we spontaneously decided to go see a movie as a family today, but we had no idea what was showing or if there was any way to find something that we could all agree. on. Everyone with kids at a wide range of age can attest, it’s a challenge to find a movie… Continue Reading →
Warning: $$$ ahead. I first heard of lululemon at a group training session at our gym when we were discussing our favorite brands of running and workout gear. As a huge fan of Under Armour and Athleta, I only half listened. I didn’t really WANT to know about some new, spendy, fabulous, must-have workout gear so… Continue Reading →
It seems like everyone and her sister is talking about Downton Abbey these days. I wasn’t going to board this train, but I can’t help myself. I have to chime in! No, I’m not going to start writing recaps or anything, but I have to share why I love this show so much and why I think… 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 →
