Well – it doesn’t look like I’ll have time to post anything new before the Listen to Your Mother – DC show on April 28th (and speaking of that – have you bought your tickets yet?). So here is another installment of my “this could have been a blog post” series. If you haven’t…

They Coulda’ Been Great… February 2013 Facebook Upates
I have a few half written posts that I swear I will finish one of these days (except for the Christmas one – that shelf life has long since expired…) But I don’t seem to have time for more than the odd Facebook update here and there. So I guess I’ll just continue with…
What’s Your Status? (Alternatively Titled: They Coulda’ Been Great) – January 2013 Facebook Upates
Remember when we used to write regularly in our blogs and people would even READ what we wrote and possibly COMMENT? And we would read other blogs and comment and stuff too. And there would be this whole communication thing going on…what did we call it back then? OH YEAH – blogging. Now we…
Holiday Greetings!
Hi! It’s been a little while…like a week. And I’m too far behind on my blog reading to even attempt a links post. It’s the holidays, you know. The minute Thanksgiving arrives, all of my good intentions fly out the window and I run around in a metaphorical circle getting very little accomplished. Though the…
Hostess with the Mostess
On Saturday, I had some neighborhood friends over for a chocolate party. My pre-blogging friend Gwen (who actually does have a blog) started a little Dove Discoveries side-business. So of course I offered to host a party for her. I mean - who DOESN’T want to have a chocolate party? I got rid of Chris and the boys,…
What Do You Mean You Don’t Want the Sequined Leopard Ballerina Flats?!
Thank you to Crocs for sponsoring this blog post. Please click here to learn more about Crocs’ new Back to School line. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective. All opinions expressed here are my own. While I’ve enjoyed the summer months of trips to the community pool and daily ice…
What No One Tells You When You Have a Baby
I think I flush the toilets in my house approximately 25 times a day. And I can count on one hand how many times I do it for myself. It seems like almost every time I walk into a bathroom, I find yet another un-flushed toilet. Often stuffed with the equivalent of an entire roll…
The Lock Up and The Opium Den
Last summer, I started to write a post that was titled “The Lock Up.” I never finished it due to Blogger eating the first five paragraphs and my subsequent need to step away from the computer before I did anything foolish. Like smash it with the heaviest item at hand… Then I never did get…
Data Entry Hell, the Twins Want Me to Look 80 Before I’m 40, AND LINKS!
I have mentioned a few times that I’m working on setting up an online store for my parents’ home furnishings shop, Style Key West. And I actually had the hubris to think that it would be all done by last Friday. I even ignored my blogs for a week to work on the project. And…
Sound Byte: WTF Eleanor?
Last week, the day before I left for AZ, I decided that I needed to perform an emergency pedicure. Since Eleanor is my constant sidekick, I set it up in the bathtub instead of my own little pedi tub (i.e. the old baby bathtub). As usual, the water was a tad more hot than I…
Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
