So after watching Twilight the other night, and liking it, I found myself pleasantly, and strangely, ‘caught up’ on stuff last night. Nothing was on TV, surprise, surprise, so I suggested watching Nights In Rodanthe.

I’m no longer a ‘Twilight’ virgin. On Friday night, my husband and I watched Twilight. I haven’t read the book.
My take on this phenomenon? It was good. I have to admit, it’s a perfect movie to get sucked into (no pun intended)…
Stephanie Meyer is a genius in terms of a commercial plot (and I [...]

My son and I made cookies last week. We bake a lot. He loves the measuring, pouring, etc. etc… He doesn’t seem to like the clean-up, but that’s a post for another day- we’re working on that.

I want to pass on some good news for mom consumers….

The other night my Big Guy and Little Guy were playing, just after dinner. I was straightening up, as I always seem to be doing (aren’t we all)…
And I flipped on TMZ. Yes, I admit it. A few minutes of celebrity gossip never hurt anybody…
Some footage of Michael Jackson was on the TV [...]

I am on strictly no-carbs this week to lose a few pounds that have snuck up on me. No-carb eating can be rough, I know this from experience, but it takes off pounds like nothing else I’ve found. So- an egg for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a protein and [...]

Ah, emails. I usually delete, delete, delete those forwarded mass emails from people. But occasionally I read them. Here are a few scenarios (courtesy of a mass forwarded email) to help you maintain a ‘Healthy Level of Insanity’:

I was reading a terrific blogger buddy of mine the other day who also writes for one of DC Metro Moms sister sites, Philly Moms, and lol laughed out loud. She was talking about telling her husband exactly what to get her for her birthday, and if he didn’t have time to get [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Everyone!
And I do mean everyone- since everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.
I’m not blogging from The Dubliner in Downtown DC;
I used to start every St. Patrick’s Day at The Dubliner, my husband always took off work and we’d ride Metro down. An old-fashioned Irish pub is a nice [...]
