Here we are, the last day in January. How’s it going? The winter blahs getting to you? Are all those wonderful resolutions and plans for a better, brighter you going as you’d hoped? I can’t help noticing the parking lot at the gym is decidedly emptier than it was at...

It’s come to my attention that I am a bit of a list queen. I know I’m not alone- there are many of us documenting major and minor “stuff” in an orderly fashion all over the place. Lists seem to be magically sprouting in my life right now. I dare say I’ve always been...

I’m kicking off a new year of Fabulous Friday posts- you know, the lighter stuff I like to share every other week including recipes, fashion, books, movies, and fun things in life. There’s just something about a Friday that warrants a frivolous moment, and I aim to...

Oh my goodness, Christmas is creeping up. Stealthy and sure, it happens every year- just when I think I’m going to be hyper-organized and take December in easy, gliding steps, I find myself festively free-falling. How are you faring? Really well, I hope. I’m trying to...
