I posted my goals for the month at the beginning of August. I’m satisfied with my accomplishments for the most part. I saw a lot of people even if my personal enrichment left much to be desired. All in all not too bad and I have September to kick things in gear.Here are my August … More August Round Up
Aside from a late night BSG game Friday night we didn’t have any real weekend plans so I decided to collect some kids. Brett and Lindsey wanted to work on their basement and I volunteered to watch the girls Saturday. Since the summer is almost over I thought it would be a good idea to … More Parenting Practice
Yesterday at a concert Kristin Chenoweth invited a random audience member to join her for a Wicked duet. She was in for QUITE a surprise. It reminded me of the surprise Michael Buble got a couple years ago.
Way back in 1998 Boy Bands were all the rage. In my 6th grade class the girls were split in three camps: Backstreet Boys, N Sync, and 98 Degrees. I wasn’t a very cool kid and had no idea who any of these groups were but a girl had to belong somewhere. 98 Degree was … More N Sync
I loved decorating our first apartment but it was a lot of work for not too much time spent there. I wanted to be sure to avoid that mistake this time around.

Both were recommended by O magazine and neither were fantastic; however, each has inspired my next reading list. TPC is a memoir reflecting on the year Sankovitch spent reading a book a day. The concept … More Book Review: Tolstoy and the Purple Chair & Nom De Plume

The sausage, fennel, tomato pie wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as delectable as the S.M.O.G and I had food envy. Then we met Cara, … More Weekend Update
One of the highlights of our trip to NYC was the discovery of City Bakery’s french toast. I wanted to check it out for a Gossip Girl experience and lucked out that Danny decided to try what turned out to be one of their signature offerings. Since we’re not going back to the Big Apple … More City Bakery French Toast
I’ve been feeling pretty blue this week; however, I am keeping up on my fitness and productivity as a whole. I have a jammed packed schedule so while I feel like I’d rather be in bed, I keep moving. For a jolt of positive energy I turned to one of my favorite ladies to gain … More Inspiration from Eleanor
My first attempt at a D.I.Y. project went pretty well. Mom gave us her old microwave stand when we moved but the white linoleum didn’t mesh with the wood cabinets of our new place. My initial plan was to replace it with something new; however, since I can only buy so much stuff, I decided … More D.I.Y. Refinished Microwave Stand
