I think it’s wonderful that this entire month is dedicated to breast cancer awareness. Everywhere I look I see pink. There are so many things we buy all the time that are now donating proceeds to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Even the NFL is getting in on the campaign with pink cleats, wrist bands [...]
Looking for a link to a publication a former colleague works for, I went to the New Haven Register’s website earlier today. It’s a site that I used to check faithfully on a daily basis, since I was a reporter for the newspaper for five years. These days though, I pop in now and again [...]
Years ago, I was sitting in my unusually large newsroom cubicle, sick as a dog. It was the works: running nose, no appetite, coughing, etc. My friend dropped by my desk and tossed a pack of drink mix at me (from a safe distance, of course). “Drink that. You’ll get better a lot faster,” she [...]
Just Be is a line of shirts that let wearers express their individual perspectives. The phrases are decoratively designed and include “Be Scrapbooking,” “Be Green,” and “Be Punk.” Some shirts are made with organic cotton and water based inks for an earth-friendly twist.
In honor of breast cancer awareness, the company created a line of three [...]
Every time I see a Care Bear, it totally reminds me of my childhood. I just checked Wikipedia and the first plush Care Bear hit the streets in 1983. That would make me 13 years old. The days of Hello Kitty, My Melody and 80s big hair bands. Ahhh … memories.
I’m sure I’m not the [...]

So, I saved the bottle [...]
This is more than you ever needed to know, but I am a shoe-hater. From the time the temperature hits about 60 degrees until the time when the first frost turns everything white outside, you can be sure to find me shoeless around my yard, the beach, you name it. As a result, I have [...]
As if we all need an excuse to consume more chocolate, right? Well just in case you did, the gang at Hershey is turning pink this month and doing their part to support breast cancer awareness. For the fourth year in a row, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, their Hershey Kisses, Hershey Nuggets, Hershey [...]
I was in the middle of making a cup of hot cocoa when a package from Plush Puffs arrived. What timing! Well, it would have been, if it wasn’t peppermint hot cocoa and the package contained peppermint flavored marshmallows — as much as I love, uh, peppermint, that would have been too much.
No matter, I [...]
Since my oldest child is a boy, I was looking forward to a whole new wardrobe for my daughter when she arrived. Although I love the color pink, I didn’t want it on her all the time, to the point that we got sick of it, you know? Some days, yes, she’s in head-to-toe pink. [...]
