On today’s “The Martha Stewart Show,” a special episode will air to raise breast cancer awareness and to support the Ford Warriors in Pink program. Martha is hosting a special studio audience of “Warriors” — people who have been touched by breast cancer just for the show. It’ll feature segments on reducing your risk [...]
I’m not going to lie: one of the first things I thought about when dealing with pregnancy was clothing. Clothes shopping is not always an insanely fun activity for us tall folks, and without any friends to lean on in times of crazy questions, I felt like I was on my own for figuring out [...]
My cousin Brad is Rickey Henderson’s biggest fan. No seriously, he is. Need proof… just check out his blog that is devoted to the “Man of Steal.”
I used to think it was just a fluke when we were kids and his collection of cards grew larger and larger, but the fact that [...]
The perfect storm arrived off the Pacific today, and boy did it bring some rain and wind with it! While I had dog-eared a recipe for French Onion soup from this month’s Family Circle magazine, I had no idea that I’d be trying it out so quickly. But that’s what happens when [...]

More than two years later, I still get tons of pleading requests for my Jones soda template from brides to be and anyone else wishing to add some flair to their party (via WeddingBee). I relabeled regular Jones soda with my custom [...]
Why I do believe this is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered! Some of the recipes from the book, Preggatinis, are on Real Simple’s website for the taking! Sadly… the ingredients aren’t as close as our liquor cabinet… but it is a hopeful sign for the next 5 months!
This weekend… at the UCLA v. Stanford football game (shhh! I know we lost! Our backup QB is, well, um, worse than most high school freshman QBs? I don’t know what to say, it was embarassing. That’s all I’ve got.)… we passed lots of undergrad/recent grad tailgates in the parking lots. Two parties were [...]
The co-eds are all bundled in their letter sweatshirts and UGGs are popping up on the feet. The signs of fall are here in Northern California, which is a welcome relief from the 22 100+ degree days here this summer. I’m sure that signs of an Indian summer might pop up here and there in [...]
