Need a fabulous and cheap gift with a personal touch? I’ve got it, I’ve got it! As you’ve probably seen on this site, I’m perfectly capable of doing tablescapes and showcasing my fine dinnerware, but I am NOT a DIY-type. Let me repeat that: I AM NOT A DIY EXPERT. But thanks to my cast…

FUN-lanthropy! The Give-Back Party.
As many of you experienced a few weeks ago, I’m a bit obsessed with giving back this season. (I’m convinced it’s the mom-compassion thing that’s doing it. Or it could be the warm-and-fuzzy vibe at work, Hallmark’s “Home & Family.”) Through all the shopping and decorating and getting-together-with-friends before everyone disappears for their own family…

FAST FOOD. Easy fall veggies.
I’m not a pro-chef, but I do like to cook… but I often don’t have time for it. Here’s a fast and foolproof solution for the daily “I’m-tired-of-coming-up-with-things-for-dinner” dilemma: EASY FALL VEGGIES: OILING AND BROILING. My faves to do this with? Potatoes, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, butternut squash. Even my picky girls eat up when veggies are cooked…
FUN? Toddlers at a fancy event.
I’m hoping you sense the irony in my title? “FUN: Toddlers at a fancy event” pretty much goes against everything I believe in and is frankly a walking contradiction. Was it fun? Really? Formal events are my FAVORITE. Always have been. Always will be. Fabulous dresses, wine, frilly desserts… So when my two little devils angels were…
