I am completely head-over-heels for Paul Newman’s ‘Newman’s Own Lighten Up Low-Fat Sesame Ginger‘ dressing. It is amazing on salads and to-die-for in a stir-fry. Just the most perfect dressing / marinade around, and that it’s low-fat is just the icing on the cake!
You can find it at Whole Foods, Target and probably your local [...]
yummy & quick weeknight family dinner… »
Do you buy a rotisserie chicken every week? I do. Just about every week, anyway. As any busy mom knows, it’s one of the most convenient items to have in your kitchen for a meal on the spur.
But it can get so very boring to merely slice it up and serve it with vegetable sides.
My [...]
hair saver… »
I know that the big thing right now is bed-head. But not the kind you get from actually waking up having slept on your hair all crazy, and then heading out the door without giving it a second thought. That’d be too easy, right? No, you need to shower, style your hair with half a [...]
humpty-dumpty lives here… »
Little Coco broke a Tang Dynasty statue (you’re probably familiar with the Tang Dynasty Horse) that I brought home from my trip to China back in 2001. Actually, I brought it back from Hong Kong; had I taken it out of China, it’d have been considered smuggling and I’d probably be in prison right now. [...]
why? »
Every time I visit the Emersonmade shop, this shirt is out of stock. Ugh. It is the perfect little striped tee.
I’ve written before about their amazing flowers. Now, they’ve got clothes!
Say buh-bye to the skinny jeans…
…and hello to the bells of my youth.
Awesome!
preppy chic… »
Minnie Mortimer is to-die-for. The entire line is pretty much my ‘perfect’ style – the items I’d want to wear day after day after day. Preppy with a bit of edge.
My dream boots – Frye Campus – would look amazing with everything here. It’s my dream autumn wardrobe.
Sigh…
my bible… »
It’s here! My Tracy Anderson book is here! It arrived last night, and I cannot put it down. This is what I’ve been waiting for. You know I’ve been her biggest fan (perhaps second only to Gwyneth), and I’ve waited and waited for so stinking long for her to put her amazing ideas onto paper!
In [...]
so cute! »
I love this little toothbrush / toothpaste holder for the girls’ bathroom. It’s quirky. I love quirky. Can’t take myself too seriously, you know?
water… »
So completely obsessed with these reusable water bottles, complete with their own little charcoal filter. Perfect for the girls to take to school, as they can refill from the bubbler throughout the day, and I don’t have to worry about what kind of water they’re imbibing (our water here is gross).
just sayin’… »
Yeah, Gap!
You just keep getting better and better…
addiction… »
I am completely addicted to clogs. I always have been. Since I got my first pair, for Hanukkah, when I was about 6-years old. I’ll never forget those clogs: brown with a braid across the front.
I’ve owned at least one pair of clogs at all times since that first pair, whether they were Dansko closed-back, [...]
for the dogs… »
As someone who firmly believes that just because you live with dogs, you don’t need to be relegated to boring denim dog-beds, I am completely smitten with Fleabag Beds.
Made in California by a couple of very stylish women, these beds come in a pretty good array of sizes and fabrics. It’s almost dizzying. I cannot [...]
golden girl… »
My mother is of the generation that either 1) got married out of college, or 2) majored in education or nursing and entered the workforce upon graduation. My mom? She did both. She married my father right out of college whilst starting her new career as an early education teacher. But it didn’t last. She [...]
