TGIF
For one reason or the other it has proven to have been quite a week and I’m thankful it’s over. I’ll be doing this ~ It’s time for a seasonal cleaning. I’m looking forward to plugging into a higher energy source this weekend to clean out all the mental, spiritual and physical cobwebs that have gathered this week. I will come back with a clear mind and heart, refreshed and renewed, positively polished & perky! I’ll be excited to share… [Read More]

Needlepoint Belts
Thinking I need a holiday project and being inspired by Tin Tin’s The Trad blog, I decided to research some possibilities to make them from kits. The last time I tackled a needlepoint project I didn’t need cheaters and the boys were babies. Yikes! A long time ago! They would look great with those pair of khakis, be a conversation piece and perhaps a family heirloom.Wouldn’t that be nice? Here are some links for kits that I found. If all… [Read More]

The Lost Symbol and Personal Commentary

However, I did see both movies and although I did enjoy Da Vinci more neither one rocked my world. As they say, I could have waited for the DVD. After being so literature deprived lately, I rushed out on the day The Lost Symbol was released to pick it up. I was so anxious to get another page turner… [Read More]

The Trad Guy
I’ve always been a sucker for a guy in a pair of khakis, a long sleeve RL button-down shirt, tasseled loafers, a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers and the scent of Polo. This package is classic and timeless. This is Mr. P. M. and I have been raising two boys to fill his Sperry Top-Siders to continue the tradition. These three men have been ideal participants simply by possessing a Y chromosome which means they will wear practically anything that I… [Read More]

Tailgate Time!
I LOVE all things collegiate not only because I am a USC alum and proud of it but all things collegiate were indoctrinated in me from birth. Orange County is Trojan Country although those from that other school across town and which must not be named would have a different opinion. As I tell anyone my favorite teams are USC and anyone that is playing UCLA However, after spending this morning googling and checking out websites for collegiate needlepoint belts… [Read More]

“Yes, This Clutter Does Make My Butt Look Fat.”
I am feeling better today. Yesterday was difficult.The reality of no children in the house hit me hard. The transition alone can make one think of their mortality and getting the results of blood work done the week previously didn’t help. Sign me up for anything with a little heart on it that says no trans fat, no sugar, no salt, no taste and no fun. My day began waking from a deep early morning sleep to the phone ringing….
