No Judgment, Please

By admin | Published: August 26, 2010
**This post has come out a bit more “back to school blues” than intended.  If you are not a mother, you may not understand.  I assure you the usual snarky tone of the blog will return soon.  I was just thinking that I am probably not the only mom who feels this way this week.  [...]

First Day of School

A Wedding Toast

By admin | Published: March 5, 2010
So, my sister is getting married this weekend…..oh wait, it is tomorrow. She not so casually asked me the other day if I had my “toast prepared.” “Toast for what?” “For the reception!” “I am giving a toast?” “Yes!” Okay….I thought since the wedding came together in a week and there is no formal rehearsal [...]

    I channel Dorothea Lang for art and beauty for the sake of social justice and political reform and  Martha Stewart for art and beauty for the sake of “good things.”  Throw in a little Julia Child and now you have entered the depths of my psyche.  “Crazy on a Good Day” is an [...]
