So we’ve been talking for weeks about our upcoming trip to Florida. It’s exciting, you see, since we haven’t taken a vacation in nearly two years. That’s a lifetime for us. And even though this vacation destination is relative-oriented, it will be so much fun for the kiddo. The talking […]

So my favorite magazine has a new look for their 20th anniversary. I’ve been a Cooking Light subscriber for 11 years now. And, much to my husband’s dismay, I haven’t thrown away a single issue. There’s just something very comforting in flipping through it and finding great recipes that are […]

…tonight’s leftovers.

Well, it’s Valentine’s Day. My grown-up sweetheart is on the east side of the state, sitting in a conference room and learning about some content management software.

Sarah made stuffed mushrooms. Laurel made a pumpkin torte. Alas, we spent just a few minutes discussing […]

On Thursday I had what I thought were going to be a couple of hot projects I had to rush home for. You know, the kind where someone calls today and wants it tomorrow. So I shagged out of my on-site gig right at noon and rushed home. I knew […]
