Storm prep!

Published on October 29, 2012, by in Uncategorized.

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???

Published on October 27, 2012, by in Life.

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

Published on October 25, 2012, by in Movies, Reviews.

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

Published on October 24, 2012, by in Uncategorized.

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

Published on October 22, 2012, by in Beauty, Health.

Recently my husband had an odor issue that we spent months troubleshooting. We tried EVERYTHING. A last ditch effort before making a doctor appointment, I purchased crystal body deodorant for my husband. Low and behold, it worked! Turns out the smell good in deodorants can cling to the not-smell-good, leaving an odor impossible to remove

How do you boo?

Published on October 16, 2012, by in Life.

I apologize for the lamer than usual blog title. My only excuse is I’m tired. Halloween is coming up- do you have plans? I’m a cat every year for Halloween which means I just put my tired cat ears headband on with whatever I wore to work that day. And every year I vow that

Daily Productivity Diary Challenge

Published on October 15, 2012, by in Life, Work.

I used to keep a diary when I was a tween. It primarily highlighted superficial things like what I was wearing, or who I talked to that day, or which boys I was currently obsessed with. Apparently I was a ten-year-old with really deep thoughts. Then, when I was in high school and college, my

Guest Post: Navigating the Rosedale Diet

Published on October 12, 2012, by in Fitness, Food, Health.

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

Published on October 11, 2012, by in Home, Life.

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,
