I don’t do resolutions as a general rule. It just seems so contrived- “It’s January 1st! What’s wrong with your life???” I prefer a slightly more optimistic approach to self-improvement. Also a more moderated approach. If there’s something I need to work on I don’t like to set January 1st as THE starting point of
Fall Eats: Creamy Chicken Coconut Soup
With cold weather comes time for soup. It also comes time where I’d rather be obsessively online shopping for the perfect gift than standing in my kitchen. On a hunt for quick and easy low-ish carb, ”real food” (as in- nothing processed, no mixes, or noodles, or- basically my ingredients shouldn’t really have ingredients) crock pot
Storm prep!
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
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

It’s PaleON
I’ve been looking for something to inspire me on the health and diet front for a while. I’ve tried a lot of “lifestyle changes” in my day, so it isn’t easy to find something new that sparks my interest enough to make me put down my rice krispie treat and get back on the old “healthy
Thank you, Jim Palmer!
This summer the Baltimore Orioles have been hosting the Orioles Legends Celebration Series. At certain games throughout the season they paid homage to a great (or legendary) Baltimore Oriole of the past. Recently it was Jim Palmer’s turn. The Hall of Fame pitcher had a statue dedicated in his honor and speeches were made detailing
First US Female in Space Passed Today
I’m sorry to say that Sally Ride died today after losing a long battle to cancer. I remember reading about Sally in grade school, maybe second or third grade, in one of those simple primers and being pretty impressed. It probably doesn’t speak well of me, but if my life depended on it, I’m not
