Weekend Recap: Another year older and feeling like a million bucks

Let me just lay it out on the table.  Because I'm sure you've been wondering...Yes, my birthday weekend was lovely. Friday, I was serenaded by 19 sweet little kindergarteners as I walked into Maxim's class.  His teacher had them sing "Happy Birthday" to me and it was pretty much 101% cute factor hearing these little cherubs ...

Fun Friday Favorites: Fashion, skin care (aka…anti-aging stuff), and fall food recipes

Well, it has been a delightful birthday week. I've spent time with friends and family, enjoyed some wonderful gifts along the way from very dear friends (think...some of my favorite things...Pumpkin Pie Skinny Lattes, Coffeesmith muffins, jewelry), I was able to work on writing, and actually cooked and baked this week.

It actually feels like fall.  Cool weather, sweatshirts being worn, and pumpkin spice and everything nice everywhere you look.  I love it. Last Saturday, the boys helped me take down the Easter decorations.  (Remember, I had my Easter Egg wreath still on our door?  And the tulips and bunnies were put away, also.  I have no ...
