The Food Post That Almost Wasn’t
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I did not fall off the planet and into a black hole. And despite the fact that I really hate when I hear myself say “I’ve been busy” in response to a question about what I’ve been doing or how I am, the truth is that we really have…

The Answer is No
I’m trying to decide if I am sad or not. Lately, Kidzilla has been asking for a little brother or sister.

Five Friday Favorites (on Monday) – Thanksgiving Weekend Edition
I probably could have called this the “broken” edition of Friday Favorites considering we have a broken microwave and at least two other things around the house that need to be repaired. Do wild animals live here? Instead, I have simply collected my favorites from this long holiday weekend in hopes that it will make…

Put On Your Thanksgiving Pants!
There’s no way around it. No matter who you are, what you eat for Thanksgiving dinner, where you go or whom you spend it with, Thanksgiving is all about food. You don’t even have to like the holiday, but eventually, everybody’s gotta eat.

Soup of the Week – Bridal Edition
It is time once again for Soup of the Week! I know, I know…the last edition of Soup of the Week was way more than a week ago. There was this little inconvenience called Super-Obnoxious-Storm Sandy in there so we were without power for a few days. Then there was the week of dealing with the…

Mother-Daughter Haircuts
Kidzilla and I took a trip to the salon for haircuts this afternoon. Finally! We were both way overdue and it feels great to have a fresh cut and style. I always love and hate my hair right after a cut. On the one hand, it feels healthy and smooth and what I call “swingy.” …

Friday Favorites (on Saturday)
I love Friday nights. There is something about the start of a few days with no commitments, no obligations, and only the possibility of filling it with whatever you choose to do or not do, as the case may be. Somehow Friday was the longest day ever. Usually, the day flies by pretty fast for me,…

Waiting for Sandy
Well, here we are. Our hatches are battened. Our emergency kit is filled. Our pantry is stocked. We are Boy-Scout-style prepared. We are ready. Sandy, bring it on! So far, we still have power and are just sort of going about our business like any other bad-weather day. As long as the power is on, the laundry is…

Good for the Body, Good for the Soul
Late last week, I was feeling a bit run down. Not physically ill, but more like worn out. I know several other people – friends, colleagues, family – who have been feeling similarly or are actually sick. So I started thinking about the things that make me feel better when I am not well in…

A New Favorite
Can’t lie. Despite my much-needed afternoon off, I am still feeling a bit whirlwindish. Yes, that’s a word. English majors are allowed to make up words whenever it suits them. It’s in the handbook. Anyway… It’s Thursday so I’m joining Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop again. This week I opted for the easy prompt. (Told you…can’t…
