Both my husband and I have worn eyeglasses since we were children. As a result, Aaron had virtually no chance of escaping his wearing glasses too. Our little man has worn his specs for a couple of years now. He’s been complaining that things aren’t as clear, so it was off to get an exam […]
3 Reasons to Start Your Day with a Protein Dense Shake
Mom always said that breakfast was the most important meal of the day, right? Well, Mom was right and there’s a bevy of evidence that demonstrates a breakfast high in protein has many benefits. Even with that, I was always ambivalent about breakfast – I was never hungry in the morning and didn’t really have […]
How to Explain what Autism Is
If you don’t already know, I have a child who is Autistic. I worried how to explain what Autism was and what it meant to him. Thankfully, he’s very high functioning and is more similar to those who were previously diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. He’s very bright, but not skilled socially and has difficulty with […]
A “Smack My Head” Moment with the Sinclair Method…
SMDH! Seriously, if there ever was a need for that “smack my head emoji” it was for me. Today. Soooooo, here’s the story……..Stay tuned, it has a happy, funny ending! As with many, I take meds for depression — nothing serious, but I’ve gone with and without and definitely prefer my mood and how […]
The Great Shapewear Challenge – Does Ruby Ribbon live up to the Hype?
Shapewear….not really a glamorous subject, but is often on the minds of many women. Me included. I’m no stranger to Spanx and other brands like that. But it didn’t really work for me when I wanted to wear leggings or jeans and a top – see, I really needed smoothing through my back (ugh, seems […]
Great Memoirs about Women and Alcohol Abuse
I’m a sucker for a great true story – particularly about women who have had an issue with alcohol abuse. They are often raw, real and hilarious. I want to hug these women and profusely thank them for being brave enough to tell everyone about it. You are my heroes for being so vulnerable and […]
Why I joined a Blogging Boot Camp and You Should Too
Note: I may earn money from the companies mentioned in this post. It doesn’t affect my review, but lets me buy a new lipstick once in awhile and not feel guilty about the costs of my blog. xoxo Blogging Boot Camp? If you would have suggested that to me a year ago I would have […]
What is Clean Beauty and Why Should you Care
Clean Beauty – It’s certainly become a buzz word in the last 5 years or so. But what exactly does it mean? And why should you care? I didn’t know myself, but was intrigued. I’ve been a makeup and skincare junkie since I was 18, when I went to work for Estee Lauder. I learned […]
5 Best Lawyer Movies, from a “recovering” lawyer’s point of view
As a recovering lawyer (I don’t ever think I’ll be a “former” lawyer — it’s too hard to shake over 25 years of training and practice, after all, they do train lawyers to think differently), I love a good lawyer flick. Most times I’m yelling at the TV about “that’s not the way this works!” […]

Gorgeous glasses at inexpensive prices are not a fantasy! Zenni.com is the candy store for glasses wearers. Gorgeous frames, everything from geek to chic! I’ve finally crossed the bridge from “standard” glasses wearer to needing progressive lenses. My arms simply aren’t long enough to hold the small print far enough away. Thankfully, I don’t have […]
