I got a haircut this week but since I don’t look nearly as cute as Lucy, I decided to show you her haircut instead! James has been cutting Ethan and Noelle’s hair since they were born, and Lucy is next. He figures by the time the girls are teens,...

In 31 Days to a Younger You, I write about one key to looking and feeling younger: learning something new everyday. Two things I am learning this week – well, I suppose my kids are learning. The first new thing is swim lessons. My kids are in Turtle Aquatics...

When my family goes to Costco, it’s considered a big time! The kids always want to look at the children’s books. I peek at the kids clothes to be tempted (they don’t need anything). But the highlight, of course, is the samples. As a result of those...

It’s not surprising that a book titled When You Can’t Find God: How to Ignite the Power of His Presence is filled with prayers. When you want more of God, you talk with Him often and hope against hope that He will talk back! This book by Linda Evans...

I’m not exactly a cook. I’m more of a food assembler. My family is trying desparately to sneak in more veggies to our diet. Regular well care visits to our beloved pediatrician for Lucy (18 months) and Noelle (4 years old) have once again ended in a...

I’m back at the gym. The cheapskate in me couldn’t pass a deal like this up! Costco is selling a 2 year membership to 24 Hour Fitness for $299.99. That comes out to only $12 a month! I figure if I can at least go once a week to a class or to workout, I...

From the first page, this book caught my interest. Dr. Dalton-Smith begins with a patient named Cameron who enters her office with more of an emotional problem than a physical one. Not exactly what a board certified internal medicine physician usually can take time...

I saw this recipe in Parade magazine a few weeks ago. It’s a sandwich that Jerry Seinfeld loves. So I figure, if it’s good enough for Jerry, it’s good enough for my husband too! I’m not much of a cook – I’m more of a food...

I’m starting to find a few gray hairs on my head. I pluck them out – after all I am the author of 31 Days to a YOUNGER You! Stylists advise you color your hair until you are at least 40 percent gray. Home hair color has come a long way so it’s...

I must admit I’m not much of a spa girl, so when I was given a gift certificate to a fancy-pantsy spa, I didn’t quite know what to expect. I write about my spa faux pas in Day 30. Boy was I embarrassed! But now that I’m learning from my mistakes,...

If you read yesterday’s post, you know I narrowed down my eyewear choice to 9 frames. THESE are the frames I like the best. What do you think? Will I be able to see in them since they fall off my nose a bit? I figure I’ll just push them up. My husband...
