Sugar and spice, and everything nice, and lots and lots of pink! That was the theme of the day. On Saturday I attended a beautiful baby shower for a friend, Tamara. This baby shower tea party was hosted by some very talented ladies. Just look at these pictures ~ every last detail was covered; it …
Well that’s a wrap! The Oscars have been handed out! The Wolf didn’t howl, the pizza delivery-man wasn’t Hustled, Gravity rose to the top, and 12 Years a Slave took best picture! So many great moments! Ellen rocked the show with her biting humor, pizza delivery, and selfie (or do we call it an “us-ie”?). …
My husband really likes the color green for walls. In fact, the interior of his home before we got married was painted mostly green. So when I was looking to paint our master bedroom, of course he voted for his favorite color. I also had dark hunter green walls in my prior kitchen, apparently green …

Do you dread Sunday nights? Experience the Monday blues? There really is no need to fret away the end of your weekend by worrying about Monday morning. When I take the time on Sunday to plan out the week, I feel more energized and ready for the days ahead. My daughter and I have a …
I love the Academy Awards! The actors, the dresses, the red carpet – the whole event is over the top glamour. Ever since I was a young girl, I’d sit and watch and dream. I was ten years old when Tatum O’Neal won her Oscar for her performance as Addie Loggins in Paper Moon. Watching …
Whether winter or summer, Lake Tahoe is a beautiful place to be. I have hiked part of the Pacific Crest Trail, jet skied Carnelian Bay, skied down mountains, and played golf at Old Brockway.
