In honor of Throwback Thursdays in the social media world, I thought I'd share something I did as a mom that was a pretty cool thing I came up with. Now, if you're not a mom, feel free to pass this along to someone who is and who is planning on having more children. I swear, any bit of good advice I could get from other moms, I'd soak it up. And I feel like this was a neat thing I did. Perhaps you might call this a "mommy blog" post, but mom … [Read more...]

Table Scape: How to style a coffee table

Does anyone know what I'm talkin about? Today I'm thinking of a different table scape. I'm thinking coffee tables and how to "dress … [Read more...]
Day to Night in Paris
I had always seen articles in magazines on outfits DAY to NIGHT but I had never said to myself, SELF, WHY DON'T WE TRY THIS SOMETIME JUST CUZ. Doesn't work that way.

It began with a simple white tank (the wifebeater), a simple black skirt, and Rosie (my bag that went everywhere with me). Now, I wore … [Read more...]

Take Me To The Beach Friday
This weekend marks the official end of summer. But, in some ways, I wish it still were summer, don't you?

Whiter Teeth
This is one of those simple posts that makes you say WOW how simple is that. Truly it is, and I didn't realize I was doing it until so many people had pointed out my teeth to me. I have never had them professionally whitened. Had used white strips LOOOOOONG ago, like really LONG ago. So that's not what the key is to this simple easy beauty secret that ANYONE can use, literally ANYONE. Are you ready? My toothpaste that I feel gets the job … [Read more...]
