My mom turned 65 over the weekend, and to celebrate, my sister’s and I threw her a little party. The guest lists consisted of my two sisters, my mom, my mom’s sister, my mom’s ex-sister-in-law (yes, its complicated, but when you divorce do you have to divorce your favorite sister-in-law?) and two cousins-in-law. Basically just the girls. We had a wonderful time, laughing, eating and drinking coffee. When it was time for the birthday gifts, my sisters and I surprised our mom with a piece…

If you’re like me, sometimes I find I come home with way too many boxes and pre-packaged items that will buy me instant silence from my children as soon as they are inserted into their mouths. Lately, it seems like my ‘junk shelves’ are filling up too quickly, and my fruit and vegetable drawers lack something to be desired. I saw this tip in ‘Prevention‘ magazine and thought I would share it with you. As soon as you get…

I just ordered my first SnapTotes backpack, using a photo of my son on the beach. I am going to use the backpack…
I absolutely cannot live without Costco. For those not in the know, Costco is a membership warehouse — http://www.costco.com/. I’ve had a Costco membership since 1988 or so. So, why do I heart Costco so much? I shop less often, probably 4 or 5 times a year at Costco. I do not do a huge weekly grocery shop.
