So, I have this new house. On the plus side it has a water view! On the minus side, that means when something like “Frankenstorm” comes along we are pretty much screwed. How screwed are we? Well- our neighbors have left us notes (below) to try to warn us and the fire department stop by
Franken- what???
My kid has been home sick this week so I feel like I’m emerging from a hole. We don’t watch tv when he is around and I hadn’t been on the Internet much… so yesterday the antibiotics were kicking in and he met conditions to go to school- I finally had the opportunity to rejoin
Cloud Atlas
I was lucky enough to score some sneak preview passes for the latest Tom Hanks blockbuster, Cloud Atlas; my Maryland Film Festival membership is paying off once again. I arrived at the theater with my lucky “plus guest” and although the theater was already packed we got pretty decent seats down near the front. Actually, the Harbor
One Size Fits All
Over the last two years I’ve been up and down the clothing scale due to pregnancy and it has brought home the point that accessories can be worn no matter what is going on with your body. The BaubleBar is starting their friends and family sale today and I highly recommend checking it out. One
Go Smell Yourself
Recently my husband had an odor issue that we spent months troubleshooting. We tried EVERYTHING.

Guest Post: Navigating the Rosedale Diet
I should start by introducing myself. My name is Sean and Monica (of this blog) is my sister. We’re probably as different from eachother as two people can be and still be related, though. I’m a little older than her but I’m probably half as mentally mature as she is. She seems to have it
Heather’s Great House Hunt Fail
So…umm… remember when I did a blog about buying a house and then another blog about picking out paint colors for said house? Yeah…well, I found out the hard way that there is one final, trump-all-other-rules rule. It’s not your house until the closing is complete! And of course I know this, you know this,
