Start the Weekend Early!

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Is it wrong to be thinking about cocktails when its only 9:47am?  I am between conference calls right now and am counting the hours until the work day is over. I’ve somewhat recently found out that alocohol triggers migraines for me…I can’t have one, single beer without waking up with a massive migraine. However, at [...]

Fab Finds Friday – Poor House Posh

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Since the stock market went to hell this week, I decided to show you something totally cute and inexpensive and, therefore, completely justifiable. I was at Target yesterday (yes, I know, big freakin’ surprise) and I saw this really cute little wool jacket. It comes in all sorts of colors but, honestly, it looked cheap [...]

Feel Your Boobies

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I just love any excuse to use the word “boobies”.  It makes me feel like I’m 9 yrs-old again. Boobies. Boobies. Boobies! October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and tomorrow kicks off “Feel Your Boobies” Week. ”Feel Your Boobies” was started by a woman who was the vision of health but who, at age 33, found [...]

Worried Mom Tip – Harmful Plastics Report Part II

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Last week I posted an entry (Worried Mom Tip – Plastics Division) about the chemical BPA and its potential leaching into our food and drink.

So here’s another one of those brilliant, why-didn’t-I-think-of-that ideas. How many times have you been at the mall, at a theme park, a carnival, etc with your kids and have wondered what would happen if they got lost?

The economy is officially in the shitter, Ladies. Everyone is feeling nervous, even those with steady income. I think we’re all usually looking for ways to save money, but it’s more top-of-mind now than ever before.

Fab Finds Friday – Hip Help For Hips

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

You bend over to tie your child’s shoe…and the world gets a glimpse of your thong. You know, the pink lacy one that accidentally got thrown in the wash with the load of darks and has therefore turned a dirty shade of pinkish-gray? Fear not, your whale tail days are over! Two enterprising young women [...]

Worried Mom Tip – Plastics Division

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

I think most of us trust our government wouldn’t allow us to be exposed to harmful chemicals and toxins, but sometimes we hear things and just aren’t so sure. Like the lead paint scare.
