Bubbly water. Fizzy water. Sparkling water. Whatever you want to call it, it’s no secret that people love water with some light bubbles in it. It’s a nice change up from plain old regular water (which I happen to L-O-V-E). With all the emphasis on eating well and taking an organic approach to growing things, [...]
B.K. – not the fast food joint, silly, Before Kids – I never, ever, ever left the house without makeup on. And when I say never, I mean I would wear makeup whether I was wearing sweats or dressed up for a night out. I needed it. It was the only way I recognized myself.
But [...]
Some men collect hats. Some collect ties. Others collect sports cars (don’t we all wish we could?). For women, it’s often shoes and purses. But I have added a new collectible to my life: tote bags. From runs to the grocery store to farmer’s market jaunts, tote bags are a constant companion for me. Some, [...]

Ever since first being introduced to Indian food as a child, I have loved it. But, I was introduced to it at a restaurant with authentic food prepared by an Indian family, and exposed further to it by my mother’s friends. So, I like good, authentic food — which usually the stuff you find in [...]
One of my goals for the new year is to be more organized and consistently keep my house presentable – a tall order for a busy work-at-home mom with two little kids. But I want it bad enough to try. To that end, I have re-organized my bedroom closet with a new organizing system including [...]
Last year, Cate turned me onto Etsy. Since then, I have bought beautiful, handcrafted dresses, appliques, pottery, wall art and more.
