I remember trading lunches with other kids back when I was in school. But with teachers and cafeteria monitors walking around and a much greater sensitivity to allergies and dietary needs, those days are gone. Which I am totally cool with, by the way.

It’s an upscale, online, second-hand clothing […]
I just went to a fair with my kids, where all four of them participated in a hula-hoop contest. My children are not world-class hula-hoopers. They are mediocre at best and didn’t outlast the winner. It was just something fun for them to do. But guess what? They all won participant ribbons! So forever we […]
What is the one quintessential wardrobe piece that almost every woman has in common? Why, the little black dress, of course. It’s the go-to garment that you reach for when you’re in a what the bleep do I wear pinch, and is always sure to be a winner. Now, when you think of the LBD, you […]
Two weeks ago a crowd of angry protesters faced off with border patrol agents in Murrieta, California, where the city’s mayor and residents blocked buses carrying immigrant children who were going to be processed there.
