When it snowed

I can still remember the day. It was Thanksgiving, 2010, and my daughter was seven-months-old. We had given her a bagel to gnaw on for the very first time and she played happily on the floor of our small, quaint living room in our little, first house. And then, snowflakes started to dance from the sky and ...

Treasures

My son and daughter are best friends. I thought about trying to link to all of the posts that chronicle their journey together, but there are oh so many. When I found out that I was pregnant with my second child, I was so excited at the notion of a sibling for my girl. At that point I was ...

A list

(not to be confused with A-list.) I have written many times before about my love for the lifestyle/style/parenting/food/entertaining/everything blog called Ramshackle Glam .

Things that made my heart burst yesterday:

The incredibly touching comments that I received on my emotional day post on Facebook. The launch of the new website for Pearl Communications, my PR firm. It was actually the owner who suggested that I use Brand Revive and then ended up hiring them herself, with brilliant results. A great phonecall with my friend who told me ...

Stay Tuned and Get Pumped! (is what I was going to say.)

Patience, my dear ones. For I am off to a happy place, where I will be celebrating my 8th Engagemaversary in that very same spot. ...is what I had written, yesterday, prepared to publish today, as I would now be off to St. John, via St. Thomas, with my entire family; Parents, siblings, kids... It's funny. Just last week, ...
