Another birthday is history. We had a nice day. My husband bought me the pink waffle/spa robe that I spotted in the Bloomingdale’s window Saturday night. My son made me a birthday card (complete with typeface quiz), and I baked up some birthday cupcakes (Sprinkles vanilla mix – they were awesome), along with checking off [...]

Hello! Today is my birthday, and true to form, it’s the coldest weather of the year. (Can’t you just feel the cold in the photo above? No, I’m not bitter.) I’m hoping that we’ll bust out of the house today in search of some fruit salad (and lunch, too) from a new source. Yes, there’s [...]

Before we get started, let me remind you that my beauty ideal is a JCrew model, i.e. to look like I am not wearing makeup. Therefore, I propose the following items for the Beauty Hall of Fame: (working clockwise from the top)
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment I love this lip balm because it smells great, it [...]

…. I’ve been ripping out pages from magazines, printing out pages from the web, and generally compiling lists, sometimes in my head. For example, I’m thinking about:
Music from:
Andrew Bird I heard his song “Fiery Crash” at my sister’s December 1 wedding. Asked the deejay who it was, and hit up iTunes the next day. For [...]

New Year’s Resolutions bring out the over-achiever in me. It’s like a second blast of self-improvement (the first is back-to-school time, by the way). Over the weekend, I turned in our kitchen remodel plans for approval, placed a CSA subscription for this summer, and wrote my first Modern Letter Project letter. That one was hard, [...]
