Polished
A few weeks ago, I mentioned the new “it” Chanel nail polish color was Black Pearl. I was right about it being a hot new color, but after some serious hours of research, I’m pleased to report that basically any color goes this Spring. Shades of pink, yellow, blue and green have all been seen on…

My Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies & Other Family Secrets
This last weekend, the husband and I went to my hometown to see my parents. Over the course of our trip, Keegan played tech guru and set up my parents Blu-ray. We introduced them to Pandora and subsequently, Adele and the Dougie. If you’ve met my mom, you know we’re a lot alike. We both love…

Fashion Friday: Wedges
While working on this post, my husband suggested I do something for the men this Friday, perhaps discuss plaid. I did not take his advice. Instead of writing about wintry plaid, I wanted to focus on summer. And to me, nothing says warmer weather quite like wedges, which are supposed to be in fashion this season. Forecasts here…
