Our oldest daughter is turning 7 in July, and that reminds me not that we are growing older and time is passing too quickly (it is) but that it’s been about 7 years since I last overspent at Restoration Hardware. See, I’ve always been a lover of Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel […] More
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, the pregnant woman sitting a few tables over from you at brunch walks out onto the dock blocking your gorgeous view of the ocean and lights up a cigarette. Yes, it happens; and yes, it happens more than we care to admit. This is perhaps the biggest […] More

That moment when you have to climb into the third row of your entirely too large SUV to unbuckle your 4-year-old from her car seat because she has mysteriously lost the ability to do it herself: No big deal until you realize that you decided you just had to wear that adorable new sundress to […] More
Graduations are a big deal in any household, but typically only when students graduate from high school and/or college. Even kids that graduate from VPK are celebrated more often than other graduates, but that leads me to discuss something that came up recently at our weekly dinner with our best friends.
