Last year, right around this very time, I published a post called, What I Want, which was both a Holiday Wish List and a nod to The Spice Girls. Last November, I wrote, "There are so many meaningful things that I want this holiday season, and none of them can be held in my hands. I want for my family and ...
Yesterday, over on Instagram, I posted a story in which I asked an honest question and for which I wanted an honest answer: despite the fact that most of my posts address serious topics, how would you feel about a post about beauty/self-care products? I, personally, love learning what other people use and love, but I wanted to ...
I cannot start this post without acknowledging two important things: 1. I have a LOT about which to write. I have formulated at least a dozen posts in my head over the holiday weekend (about gratitude, parenting my daughter v. my son, Thanksgiving and what it means to me...) but, for now, this is what is flying ...
This is a post about mugs. Yes, you read that correctly. More accurately, I guess, this is a story about mugs. I've recently published some heavy stuff on here, and though I always like to share the parts of life that are hardest (about "what hurts" as my main main Hemingway has advised)-- --and sometimes I simply post because I am fortunate ...
Some stories are long. They make for long posts. Some stories feel long. And they are so exhausting that they make for short posts. This one is the latter. *** I have written so much about Valentine's Day over the years; I have written about love and gratitude; I have told stories of our past; Last year's post was particularly fun (and reminds me ...
The holidays are almost here. Last year the holidays were the best ever, as we invented and established our own holiday traditions. I am so happy that many of these traditions have stuck; we are doing another Pollyanna gift exchange, some trips and have Christmas plans that involve nine pairs of matching pajamas. Though holidays, for me, are ...
...and my beautiful holiday kitchen makeover. For the past 30 years I have had a great passion for interior design; for the past several months I have had a great partnership with InteriorCrowd. Last month, I wrote a teaser article, introducing InteriorCrowd and my plans for a kitchen project with them. But, before I write about how it ...
I have made it no secret that I am actually one of those people who loves Valentine's Day. I don't love it because it is a cheap or forced excuse to celebrate love; I just don't understand not liking it. If you love someone, then tell them every day. Including on Valentine's Day. It can be ...
It started with a chair. Well, two chairs if I am being honest, but if you get the reference above then we are automatically better friends than we were before you opened this post. More on that, later. Two years ago, just after we closed on our new home, I went with my parents to the Rago ...
I am a Jewish girl who loves Christmas. I don't think I am particularly unique. I do not have a tree in my house, nor do we celebrate in any religious way. My child attends a Jewish preschool at a Synagogue. But Christmas is just the best. It's CHRISTMAS! I have gotten to experience true Christmas twice in my life: The ...
