Last week I was in a lot of pain due to a back spasm, and consequently, because I’m not a SuperWoman by any means, I was pretty convinced the world hated me. My husband did his best to cheer me up. He told me I am a strong woman and I got this. I don’t …

Hi, my pretty, pretty princesses! I hope spring is beginning to show her face where you live. Here in Louisiana, it’s wet today but finally we’re not dealing with cold weather that we’re not used to. Easter Sunday was beautiful, although it got a bit rainy in the afternoon. Mass was, as always, joyous and …
About five years ago, I went through a bout with thyroid cancer. No biggie, really. I didn’t even know that I had it until my thyroid was removed, but after that, I had to go through Radioactive Iodine treatment which, at the time, meant four weeks off my thyroid meds and two weeks of a …
Actually the news is from Friday. My baby brother finally got a kidney transplant!!!! Whoo Hoo!!! This is me and Rob. He’s been on dialysis for more than five years, and from experience, I know that dialysis is actually hell. It’s hard on patients and makes you tired, miserable, and yes, I know it’s life …

Prologue to the story: When we were in China, Katja and I took our kids (the ones that were in China!) to a shopping center with the intention of looking at silk. Now, I never buy silk here in the States so finding out they originally wanted something like $100/meter nearly knocked me over. In …
I have always love vintage clothing, especially the WWII era. If you have seen any of my pictures from recent Readers’ Luncheons, which I post on Facebook, you know that I’m all about the clothes. Well, a while back I bought a pattern for a 40s era Swing Dress from Sense & Sensibility patterns. I’m …
Gossip Girl is my guilty pleasure and down time TV, relaxation show. I’m now on the fifth season. One of the characters, Dan, has wanted to be a writer since we first saw him, so naturally I knew that part wouldn’t be portrayed realistically. My daughter has already finished the series and warned me that …
