Best Christmas Video EVER

This is so me, without the New York Jewish mother bit. Or the red hair and five o’clock shadow. And those outfits, yikes! But, you know, it’s me. I LOVE the tree! I don’t love the mess or the work but I love to have and see and enjoy the tree. And it really does [...]

The Girl Effect

Thanks to Megan Heuter and her blog Because I Played Sports, I finally saw this incredible advocacy campaign called the Girl Effect. In Kenya, 1.6 million girls are high school dropouts.

Worst Halloween Decor Ever

It’s not like I expected elegance; I was at the Dollar Store. But these bad girls smacked me in the eyeballs as soon as I walked in and I nearly took a cramp from the pain. Yikes. You know those ugly ceramic masks everyone except for us hung on their wall in the 80′s? Mardi [...]
