A few months ago, I got my first iPhone. Before that, I was using the Android Incredible (a phone very similar to the iPhone in that it is a sleek touch screen smart phone). Moving from an Android to an iPhone was not as easy a transition as you might think. When I got the Incredible [...]
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 [...]
Growing up, we never got Easter baskets or believed in the Easter bunny. I’m sure we had Easter parties at school and got Easter candy there, and we often decorated eggs at home, but the traditional Easter baskets full of candy on Easter morning — not something my parents bought into.

I believe I can say with absolute confidence that we have never, EVER, in 15+ years of marriage, EVER had a Christmas tree up after New Years Day. Now that’s partly because until about three years ago, we had only live trees, and live trees only stay, well, live, so long after being unceremoniously yanked [...]
So far this holiday season has seemed rather . . . dull. “I’m just not feeling it this year,” I’ve said twenty times if I’ve said it once. The tree is up, and it is beautiful. Christmas music echos throughout the house. The kids are eagerly counting down the days till Santa leaves a toy [...]
