I’m not usually Dooney & Bourke fan, or so I thought, but I’m on the hunt for a new purse and it seems like every time I find one I like, it’s a Dooney. Because of the fancy label, I’m totally against buying it because I just KNOW that as soon as I get one […]

I forgot how nice it is to just grab a good book and sink into it. Not a popular book, necessarily, and not even a particularly high brow book, just a good, enjoyable book.
I grabbed a $4.99 Jonathan Kellerman paperback at Wal-Mart last week and have enjoyed cruising through it. It’s an intelligent crime story, […]

Katherine’s dance recital, that seemed like more work for me than the actual dancer but was worth every minute. She had a ball, as did I. She’s quite the little ham. And a well-loved little one, too. Lots of family went out of their way to come see her and she and I both […]

I’m watching the Martha Stewart talk show and realized that every celebrity that appears on her show brings a signature dish to “teach” Martha to make, or a craft to show her. The kid on right now is making magnets from bottle caps and such.
I wonder what my Martha show talent would be? Making condescending, […]

I got some funny looks at the local grocery store today, probably not the first or last time. I was being silly with the kids and tend to say things without thinking when we’re just hanging out, acting silly. I should curb that impulse at the grocery store.
Anyway, we were checking out and I asked […]

-I chatted, via Twitter, with people all over the country about ‘Chuck,’ a TV show we all enjoy and don’t want to see canceled.
-I […]

I’m going to the gym today. And actually working out.
I know, I know. It’s a shock. But I’m really going. And working out. Seriously.
I’ll let you know how it goes. There may be limping involved later.

Katherine, singing randomly about cherry pie. I take no credit for her talent.
A warning to other moms: this is what happens when you take your kid to see Hannah Montana.

Taken with my Blackberry throughout the weekend.
Katherine, right before the Hannah Montana movie started. She was as thrilled with the popcorn and candy as she was with the movie. And honestly, it wasn’t that bad. Cute, peppy, and it was fun to watch Katherine dance in her seat.

Charlotte seems a little tired, but played and […]

Yum, yum, yum. Naan is an Indian flatbread ( think pita bread). I keep reading about it as a delicious, high-fiber replacement for pizza crust and tried it today. I bought the whole wheat kind, toasted it lightly, then topped it with a few slices of smoked mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and sauteed mushrooms and green […]
