Halloween is over and now Christmas planning can begin! As much as I always dread Halloween, it always is fun. Despite my typical fall head-cold hitting on Halloween Eve, we survived with no major drama! And it was actually one of the best weekends we’ve had in a long time. Just about as perfect as…
It’s no secret that I don’t like to cook. My husband likes to cook. And I love to eat.So it works out pretty well. I just found out that one of our very favorite Central Florida chefs is coming out with a new cookbook! (And I think I’m going to have to get it for…

It’s that time of the year again when I get all my trashy magazines in order and set up my DVR schedule. Here’s at look at what’s ahead for what I think will be a promising 2013 Fall Schedule. Below is not the complete schedule – but what I plan to watch and/or my editorial…
It’s back-to-school time for my kids! Are they excited? NO. They are excited to see their friends. But that’s about it. I did ask them what they were wearing to the big day and they looked at me like I’m crazy. “The same thing we wear everyday, mom.” To which Brendan added, “I hope the…
