Okay, I'll come out and say it: are you mothers really the only ones who can run a household, manage a family, and keep it all together?
Are we men that inept, so unnecessary at home that not a word has been mentioned about the time that...
I was filling my car up with gas last week (and having a minor heart attack because, my God, $55 to fill up the beater Saab I was driving that day? It's like adding insult to injury) when the woman approached.
She looked to be in her late...
It's moving day here at my office. Due to recent acquisitions and a real estate consolidation, the building that I currently work in has been sold. Everyone that works in the office park is moving to another office park about 5 miles down...
Last week all of these happened to me so yes, this is a vent. I hope you'll join me in the comments.
So here goes, in no particular order...

Cute shoes! Everywhere I look!
Flats, boots, pumps and wedges in every color under the sun! Rich, autumnal suedes and leathers. Snakeskins. Patents. Wooden stacked heels. I'm telling you, it's enough to make me weep with joy.

Goooood morning! Yet another week is drawing to a close, and all I can thinking is that tomorrow, I can sleep in. I think my body is trying...
I have been somewhat uninspired to cook lately. Want to know why? Could it be because I still do not have a working kitchen?
This is pretty much what my kitchen looks like right now, only my husband has finished putting the sink in....
One of my original goals was to fit into a bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding. Seeing as I was a size 16/18 when I started this journey in January, I was sure excited when the zipper went up on a Junior size 12/13 last weekend, which...
A lot has been said in recent years of the green movement and of moms helping their families to leave a smaller carbon footprint. But what are we doing to plan for the inevitable?
Yes, I'm talking about the day we or someone in our family...
I'm sure some children's rooms are perfectly decorated to be a magical fairyland of wonder and joy, but in our house the kids' rooms just seem to be cluttered repositories for toys, books, piles of clothes -- both laundered and dirty -- and...
OK, that's not how the saying goes but that is my life these days. All of those mailers I decided to do? I ended up with 624. While affixing address label number 618, I noticed the address said "Santa Monica Boulevard, Richmond, VA."
