So it’s no secret that I’m none too thrilled with the state of my skin. But neither am I willing to spend a bazillion dollars on creams and lotions for it. I guess the bottom line is, I just don’t believe that it makes all that much of a difference which product you use – [...]

DSi XL: Bigger really is better
Posted in cooking, Family, Reviews, tagged America's Test Kitchen Let's Get Cooking, Big Screen DSi, DSi XL, Nintendo DSi on March 28, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Seems like we like everything big in this country. Big cars, big hair, big portions in big fast food restaurant chains. And now, big handheld games. With a screen that’s 93% bigger than a DSLite, the new DSiXL, releasing today, is poised to be the – if you’ll excuse the expression - next big thing [...]
PokeMon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Finally, A DS game a mother can love!
Posted in Family, Reviews, Shopping, tagged DS, Pokemon HeartGold, Pokewalker, SilverSoul on March 8, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Let’s face it. Most mothers out there have a love/hate thing going on with the handheld gaming systems our kids play with. One the one hand, they keep them busy on long car rides, while waiting at the doctor’s office, during your book club meeting. On the other hand, well, they’re handheld gaming systems! Your [...]

Yes, it’s true! I am just that fabulous! So fabulous that I have been awarded not one but TWO blog awards in the past few weeks. The first is The Sunshine Award and it comes from Dawn at Dawning@blogspot.com, and I have to admit, this one means a lot. Why? Let me count the ways: [...]
Sears: You Stink!
Posted in Family, Rants, Reviews, tagged broken dryer, lots of laundry, Sears Stinks on February 11, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I am officially a housewife. Know how I know? Because much of my time over the past month has been spent talking about, worrying about, arguing about, and bemoaning the loss of — my dryer. Anyone with kids (and lets face it, a husband) knows: there is no end to the laundry. I sometimes feel [...]
You Need a New Bra!
Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Laughs, Reviews, Shopping, tagged bra shopping, getting the right sized blog, Intimacy, Lingerie in larger sizes on January 14, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I have big boobs. That’s just a fact. And lest you think I’m bragging about it, let me tell you the truth about big boobs: after you have children, after you nurse children, after gravity takes its toll, after forty, big boobs are saggy boobs. Perky and 36DD are simply not words you hear together, [...]
Rock Star on the RoadL Rand McNally's Car Karaoke

I love being out of the city. The flowers, the sea, the incessant barking of the dog of the people renting the house next door. Sunshine, fresh air. Picking the herbs I need to cook instead of spending $1.50 a bunch for them, using only a few tablespoons worth, and waiting until the rest gets [...]
My New Favorite Swimsuit Company
Posted in Beauty, Fashion, Reviews, Shopping, tagged flattering bathing suit, Karla Colletto, Shape FX, strategic dressing on August 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve written quite a bit about Karla Colletto – the fabulously expensive and fabulously flattering swimsuit that actually managed to make me feel less than disgusting on the beach last summer. But notice that first “fabulously?” The expense of a KC bathing suit is a bit daunting — upwards of $200 dollars to start. So [...]
What Happened to the Girl I (Was When I Got) Married?
Posted in Family, Husbands, Marriage, Men, Reviews, tagged Michael Miller, Stay at home Moms. Stay at home Dads, What Happened to the Girl I married? Book Club on July 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve just had one of those days. You know — when you drop your kids off at camp (or school or whatever) and suddenly, it’s 3:00, and you haven’t had lunch, and you never made it to the market, and you didn’t deal with your serious dark root s situation AGAIN – but it’s already [...]
Pixorial: Home Movies Finally Find a Home

I don’t pretend to be an expert on what services are out there to help you turn your poorly shot, shaky, dark, over-long or “I forgot to turn the camera off while I walk around” home videos into DVD’s you might want to watch, but I do know that the people at Pixorial have a [...]
