Earlier this week I wrote about Lucas’ obsession with cars and it got me thinking about my obsessions as a child. When I was a little girl I used to love playing with Barbies. My first Barbie was Malibu Skipper (Barbie’s kid sister) and I probably got her for my seventh birthday. It was all…
We accept friend requests from people that haven’t crossed our mind in 20+ years while ignoring ones from those we see weekly and we “friend” people we’ve only met once. Throughout the day and overnight, profile pictures are updated, new jobs are added, relationships go from “it’s complicated” to “engaged” or “single” to “married”, honeymoon…
Apart from spending time with my husband, son, puppy and friends, and maybe reading and working out, the thing that makes me the happiest is listening to Dave Matthews Band. In fact, there was an amazing moment on my recent trip to Mexico when “#41″, my favorite DMB song came on while a small group…
Watching movies has always been my way to relax and I try to see all the latest ones, usually over the course of a few nights because I can’t stay awake from start to finish, so I adore red carpet events. I love the Golden Globes, Emmys, Grammys, SAG Awards and the coup de grace…the…
Pinterest is all the rage. If you still don’t know what Pinterest is, good. Stay away for your own sake. There’s an app, people so you can pin anywhere, anytime and it’s as addicting as crack. I am not exaggerating. Not that I’ve ever tried crack. It has become one of my favorite ways to…
Home: the place where my husband and son are. Both people bring so much comfort and joy to my life, but I am truly at my happiest in one of two other places; walking along the beach with the warm sun kissing my face, watching seagulls fly overhead, getting lost in my thoughts while at…
We remembered. We avoided eye contact at first. We got dressed and put on make-up. We went to brunch and toasted with champagne. We enjoyed a little retail therapy and indulged in sweet treats. Both helped for a little while. We received dozens of beautiful flowers and at least a 100 of other tokens of…
I love quotes! I have a 483 page Word document on my computer full of quotes that I have collected over the years. Sometimes my words are not enough and that’s when I turn to what others can say better, often more articulately and definitely more concisely. To select only 10 to share with you…
Never is it harder for me to relax than when someone asks me to. I try. I really do, but it seems I wasn’t built with that gene. A glass or two of wine certainly helps, as does a napping child, or a really great workout, but in large part I’m constantly in motion. I’d…
I have been watching since 1991. I have laughed, cried, jumped for joy, believed, been inspired, yelled at the television, fast forwarded, re-watched, rewound, discussed with friends, read the books, bought the products, lusted after, learned, wondered, rolled my eyes and felt better about myself all thanks to a guest I welcomed with open arms…
