Let’s just say it, no one likes housework. Cleaning is probably one of the most dreaded of tasks. That’s why I am loving Alice Supply Company! This is directly from the company’s website, how they describe their products. We believe that the humble dustpan’s days of being shoved away in the closet will soon be […]

I feel that we are all surrounded by a million tiny choices every minute of the day. Should I do this? Should I go there? Should I stay? Should I leave? What should I say? Eat? Do? Our lives are dominated by choices and it gets even more confusing when we start questioning the choices […]

Sorry for the GIANT logo…I’m going to see if I can make it smaller, but nonetheless, it accurately describes my BIG activity for this rainy Thursday morning. I have to emphasize the fact that it was yet another rainy morning because we have seriously had about 25 days of rain. Wait? That’s almost the whole […]

This should come as no surprise but the New York Times is reporting that Jon & Kate have decided to separate. The news came from tonight’s episode on TLC.

My day job is that I work as a book publicist. “Day Job” that can be misleading because it is actually an all day, all night, haunt you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week kind of job. I love what I do because I love working with authors, coming up with original, unique […]

Two weeks ago my aunt Fran passed away. It was one of the most horrific days of my entire life. She had been battling Soft Tissue Sarcoma for two years and even though we were aware that it was incurable, we had hope. Because what else is there in life if you don’t have hope? […]

{photo courtesy of the brilliant m.writes} When I was younger, I was an athlete. I swam competitively. I played soccer and tennis and field hockey.

I am delighted to report that these beautiful tubes of color are M&M’s. Yes. Over six feet tall, filled to the brim with delicious, candy-coated chocolate of the M&M variety. This was the highlight (for my six-year old niece) of our trip to New York City. What was not the highlight was when I took […]

I have been a fan of Anthropologie for years and I think they keep getting better with age! I love the clothing and accessories, but even more delightful are their inspiring use of design.

Bungalow 360 has this adorable, reversible tote for $26. It just screams SUMMER and I think that’s why I love it so much. It reminds me of the kind of canvas bags I used to carry around all of my beach toys. Apparently, it is reversible with polka dots on the inside. A-DOR-ABLE! I’m a […]

My routine at night is pretty standard, but I realized how much it is influenced by pattern and color. I brush my teeth and rinse with my favorite, hand-painted mug that I bought in a tiny store in Rockport, MA. I don’t drink coffee, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love coffee mugs. I am […]
