I got this cute idea from Martha Stewart. Here are the instructions: These little hand-stitched felt bears have an important duty: safely guarding teeth awaiting pickup by the Tooth Fairy. As Martha Stewart Living television stylist Cindy Treen demonstrates, you’ll need to know several basic embroidery stitches for this project: the backstitch, satin stitch, French […]

An article in today’s Boston Globe brought light to an area of the health industry that I find particularly intriguing. At Duke, specially trained health coaches are helping patients implement a personalized care plan that complements treatment prescribed by their regular physicians. However, centers must straddle the line between adopting non-mainstream therapies that may improve […]

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you […]

I am intrigued by the current debate going on over the future of print journalism. Recently, The Daily Beast, weighed in with their opinions on the fate of print journalism. It is an interesting argument coming from one of the new leaders in online news and opinion. But here is the question, are sites like […]

{photo courtesy of Ali Edwards} Because I am always interested in challenging myself and finding new ways to make life entertaining, I have decided to see how my life changes if I make a concerted effort to walk at least 2 miles a day. I started this new “mission” on Saturday, Valentine’s Day. The fact […]

Yesterday, I appeared on a local television program. The production level of the program was pretty high, so I was treated to a makeup artist before appearing on camera. I’m sure nearly every woman at some point in her life has sat in a department store makeup chair and had different products expertly applied. But […]

Like Carrie Bradshaw said in Sex and the City, men don’t write love letters anymore. Big immediately replies with something along the lines of, “I don’t have to write to you, you’re right here. Plus, they had to write letters like that because they were separated by wars.” I don’t know if that’s exactly what […]

David Griner, a social media strategist and blogger, recently posted about Twittering his family’s past. Late last year, he found a line-a-day diary kept by his great aunt from 1937-1941. She was a teenage girl, living on a rural farm in Illinois with nothing but the schoolyard and the radio to provide entertainment. I think […]

Hearts and love are everywhere and it spills over nicely into my birthday celebration. I am head-over-heels in love with this artist/designer/blogger. Here is a photo from a […]

I love when I discover a fellow design enthusiast who can find and appreciate design everywhere! The blogger, Style & Grace, posted about her admiration for the design elements in the CW television show Privileged. I couldn’t agree more. There is a modern, luxurious, and enchanting theme to the bedroom shared by the main characters, […]

Having grown up across the street from the Atlantic Ocean, I am always drawn to beautiful homes overlooking the water. Maybe it’s because I’m a Pisces or maybe it’s all the wonderful memories I have that include the beach and swimming, but I will always live near the water. I found these images on Rare […]

Do you remember the excitement on Valentines Day in elementary school? The entire day revolved around creating decorative bags or shoe boxes to prepare for the onslaught of cards from every member of our class. There was no picking and choosing, everyone gave a card to everyone else. Sure, some of us would read into […]

I googled the word “Grumpy” and this came up. Nothing could better express the way I am feeling today then this grumpy puppy. I don’t know if it’s the economy or the weather (freezing here in New Englad) or just the fact that it’s Monday…but everyone is in a foul mood! But seriously, doesn’t Mr. […]
