New Years Resolutions

Every year I make the same resolutions. It should go without saying number one on the list is to lose weight. In the past, I could accomplish this with a fair amount of ease with a little help from Hydroxycut. I used to love that stuff. But then they changed the formula and removed the ephedrine. It was […]

Too Soon Think About Camping?

 My husband and I have been contemplating an early spring camping trip with the kids. Camping is something we use to do rather freguently in our pre-kid days. Back then, we liked to backcountry camp so all of our camping gear is meant to be hiked in. While it was fun for the two of us, […]

Bring Me Coffee!

I said capresso not expresso, though I can understand the confusion. My husband gleefully brought home a grande and could not understand the look of disappointment on my face. Sure, I love a hot cup of joe. I’d never turn it down, but when I said I wanted ”a capresso” I meant I wanted a gourmet coffee […]

Pucker Up

Makeup mirrors make liquid eyeliner so much easier. Who would have thought a little extra light and a bit of magnification could do so much? Now that I’ve got one, I’ll never go without.

More Husband Christmas Quandaries

For years now my husband has done nothing short of harass me to buy him a ”dive” watch. His requests have gone largely ignored, because as I gaze into the mirror I cannot help but notice that my head is largely void of sparkle . Which is to say I have still not received the diamond […]

Teaching an Old Mom New Tricks

It’s been several years since I have had to care for an infant. Even so, I’d like to think I stay abreast of all the newest trends. Several of my close friends have recently had babies, and I live vicariously through them. One of them turned me onto amby baby. I was familiar with moses baskets, […]

Couldn’t We All Use One?

Cruises…. that’s right a good old cruise. I know I could use one right about now. The weather is miserable, my children are brats and I need a good 5-7 days out to sea. Yes, I could definately use some sun, surf and sand right about now, because another week stuck in this house with […]

More Car Bling

At a loss for Christmas gifts? Me too. But when it comes to buying for my husband, I can’t go wrong with auto accessories. You might think there is such a thing as a little too much bling- think again. There is no such thing when it comes to a prized truck- just ask my […]

What Will They Think of Next?

There seems to an unlimited number of programs today that can manage any and every type of need. I am constantly amazed by the applications that come up everytime I search Google. Often I am not even looking for a “product” so to speak. I am just looking for “how-to” information, and there it is, […]

Booking a Vegas Hotel

Vegas just keeps growing, and it is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. I remember not so long ago when there was a handful of choice hotels situated in a desert paradise. It seems now, there is a steady stream of hold hotels being torn down and new super hotels are being errected to take […]
