Just Say Yes

    I say NO a-lot. And by a lot I mean All. The. Time. No is safe. No is non-committal. Mom, can I have this candy after school? NO. (you’ll ruin your dinner) Mom, can we go swimming today? NO. (I’m not bikini ready) Hey, do you want to go to this big party where you won’t know a … Continue reading

Thank You Mister Officer

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I for one am full up to my eyeballs with turkey, newfie stuffing, mash potatoes and pumpkin cheesecake! Yum-O! Every year we have to go around the table for that dreaded game of “what are you thankful for this year?” And hope that I can come up with something better than, “I’m thankful for … Continue reading

Just Leap

Have you ever done something that scared you? I mean something you’ve been avoiding for years but knew you HAD to do or you’d regret it for the rest of your life?     Maybe it’s skydiving or writing a book or packing up your family and moving across the country or changing careers or ending your marriage or getting … Continue reading

Until I found my … Continue reading

And that’s what it’s all about. Being a blogger usually means that you sit alone in your kitchen with your lap top and … Continue reading

Alone Time

Last week I was in Toronto for a huge blogging conference (which I highly reccommend doing if you have a blog) and I found myself alone in a city I don’t know for the first time, I think ever in my life. I was never one of those adventurous types that graduated school and then grabbed my back pack and … Continue reading

Closet Intervention

  It’s no secret that I love fashion. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love shopping, especially getting a good deal. It’s also no secret in my circle of friends that I can be critical opinionated gently suggestive when I see they need help. My friend Lori** asked me to help her do a closet intervention. Her request was … Continue reading

Life Is Good #91

  After 12 years with you all I can say is, I love you more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow. Happy anniversary love. –
