My son William wore his very first tie this past weekend for his baptism. It was a moment in time that I will never forget… … read more

What did you wear 20 years ago?

I recently went to Washington D.C. with my family. It was, in a word, incredible. For me and my husband, it was one of those full-circle moments in life. Better put, history repeating itself. From the time I was a toddler, through my high school years, every June my parents would take me, my sister and my 2 brothers to … read more

the newbie: The Summer Dress Mess

This was the scene in my apartment last night: I took a shower and was getting dressed for a work event. I had planned to wear a flowy, stretchy wrap dress that fit fine at a party I went to in May. This time? Not so much. The wrap dress would barely close, so there was a nice open view … read more

YELLOW SHOES! Do you have any? If not, you may want to grab some this summer! Yellow shoes are something I never would have gravitated to before in my life.

Celeb Mom Style (Get the Look): Brooke Burke

I’ve been a fan of Brooke Burke since her days on Wild on E! She’s always been, to me, the picture of natural beauty.  There’s something refreshing about a celebrity who isn’t afraid to be out and about without makeup and full-blown-styled hair.  It allows us to identify with Brooke because we get to see her in “real life,” as … read more

Dealing with Unsolicited Parenting Advice

It was a busy Saturday afternoon and I was shopping with my two kids. I didn’t want to be there. They didn’t want to be there. Had we not desperately needed diapers and groceries, we would NOT have been there. So, such is my life. My goal was to get in and get out as quickly as possible. My kids’ goal, … read more
