Have you ever been in Times Square on New Year’s Eve? Do you know anyone who has?
Being in Times Square on New Year’s Eve seems like it would be about as much fun as a toothache… during childbirth… seriously.
I’m not trying to be negative or anything- I just don’t get it…

An ode is a ‘lyric poem’ in an ‘elevated style’…
Okay, so this isn’t an ode. Maybe it’s a tribute… acknowledgment, applause, appreciation, citation, commendation, compliment, encomium (what is that? I’ve never even heard of that word before?!), honor, laudation, panegyric (I’ve never heard of that word either, wow, all of a sudden I [...]
Well, I finally did it. I went against years of eye rolling and head shaking… and I joined the shoppers in the early morning on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.
It was cool! I’m doing again next year-
in fact, I’m making it a Christmas tradition!!
Read all about it here, at DC Metro Moms…
It’s beginning to look a lot like… !!
Well, right now it’s been raining for 2 days so it doesn’t look like a lot of anything outside my window.
BUT- THIS WEEKEND is a different story!
My FAVORITE Holiday Bazaar is on Saturday. It’s the St. Jane de Chantal Holiday Bazaar from 9-6!

As I just typed that title I thought of the movie line from The 6th Sense- ‘I see dead people.’
But in a weird way, that is kind of appropriate, in a ‘this could not really be happening’ kind of way-
Yesterday, it did happen. The day started off like any other, a nice morning, [...]
Or rather, have you remembered it is your Mother-In-Law’s Birthday while standing in her kitchen? I have… just the other day.
My Mother-In-Law’s birthday falls on Mother’s Day or just around Mother’s Day every year. This year we went to the beach for Mother’s Day weekend, so we weren’t around. And everyone was [...]
We spent Mother’s Day weekend at Bethany Beach. It was quiet and peaceful and wonderful. You know how crowded Bethany Beach gets? Look at these shots-
To the North-
And to the South-
These were taken Friday afternoon. Saturday turned out to be beautiful, so there were a few more people on the beach- but that’s it [...]
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 [...]
It used to be pretty fun going out on special nights- New Year’s, Valentine’s Day; but as we all know: things change.
I’ve never been a fan of New Year’s Eve anyway, because it can rarely live up to the hype associated with it.
My answer: GO OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE.
I have now done this for [...]
On Thursday I had 22 children in my home for my son’s birthday party; We had games, a magician and a pinata. Thursday evening we had both sides of our family over for a family birthday party. Friday morning we put up our Christmas tree, but my son didn’t want to [...]
