NYC

I did not take a drink from a bottle labeled Drink Me, did not eat a cake with Eat Me written on it, yet it seemed I had fallen down a rabbit hole into Alice's Tea Cup. It was a festive, inviting wonderland filled with all types of tea, served in dainty teacups. They were not labeled Drink Me. They did not [...]

This week I met gratitude face to face. In the middle of a chaotic week, I learned I had more to offer when I had nothing to give. Like most women, I am constantly juggling my time to accomplish as much as possible in a 24 hour day. I make to do lists, trying to squeeze in [...]

Last week I purchased a slew of dog treats for my puppies. When I went to open one, I noticed the below. Did you notice the expiration date? IT EXPIRED TEN YEARS AGO! Sadly, this is being sold in my neighborhood. I won't state the name of the store because of privacy issues (Mine, not theirs!) However, [...]

As a child, I lived in a world of dieters. The women in my life were constantly trying new "fad" diets to lose another five more pounds. They ate and complained. Said they took a bite and gained. It was an endless cycle of love and hate, with themselves and the bodies around them. Curves [...]

While sorting through piles of papers this weekend, I came across this (see below). It seems I brought a very inexpensive "Cow in Cream". For the life of me, I can't figure out what a "Cow in Cream" is? I've been racking my brain but can't figure it out. Any ideas? Happy WW!

We made it! New York City weathered the storm. It survived Irene without any major catastrophe. As promised, below are post images of New York.  I scoured the web and these images were the ones that stood out. Did you take any pics you would like to share? Let us know in the comments and [...]
