Have you noticed choker neck dresses are a major trend this fall? Not just dresses, but choker neck tops and sweaters are very popular too. What do you think of this fall trend? At first, I wasn’t sure about it. I don’t consider myself a trendsetter because I don’t adopt trends too early. I usually…
I’m usually pretty confident in my appearance, but one thing that’s been bothering me for several years are the age spots on the face. I have a few distinct spots on each of my cheeks and one on my left temple. These age spots really bother me, so much that I’ve tried a lot of things to…

What are you making for the holidays this year? Tired of regular mashed potatoes? I think you should try garlic smashed potatoes as one of your holiday side dishes this year. Why – you ask? Well, these are so easy to make and taste so much better than your standard mashed potatoes. To make these…
For Halloween this year, my kids asked to be dinosaurs. I really wanted to make their costumes this year because I didn’t have time to do it last year. It really bothered me that I wasn’t able to make them last year. I was determined to make them a DIY dinosaur costume this year. I…

What are you cooking for Thanksgiving this year? Chances are high that you (or your family or friends) will make some green bean casserole recipes. As a kid, I distinctly remember my grandma made it and I didn’t eat much of it. I loved my grandma, but she definitely didn’t make a scratch version – soup…
Have you seen all the women’s kimonos in stores this fall? At first, I was a bit unsure of this trend. Yes, all the super fashion-forward fashion bloggers were rocking them, but could I? I was uncertain for two reasons. First, I’m not stick straight or thin. I’m a curvy girl with fuller and wider…
I get anxious a lot. Since having kids, it’s gotten much worse. I think all of the jugglings of the daily tasks has turned me into a much tenser person. This increased anxiety is not good for me, my kids or my marriage. It makes all of us stressed and on edge. This week, I…
You guys – this Boston weather has me desperately needing to revamp my fall wardrobe. I don’t have enough fall clothes, but I also don’t have a proper commuting wardrobe. Namely, I don’t have proper footwear. I’m in desperate need of booties for fall. Last week, I was wearing heels, and I totally wiped out…
I think I found the best multi-tasking recipe ever. This gingerbread cookie recipe works perfectly to make these gingerbread turtle thumbprint cookies, gingerbread crinkle cookies, and would also be great to make these funny gingerbread men or these gingerbread emoji cookies. You get the idea – I really love this gingerbread cookie recipe. Since I had…

It’s 5:00 am on Saturday morning. My eyes snap open as I sense someone is staring at me. It’s my two preschoolers, poking me, whispering in the softest voice, “is it time to get up mommy?” I want to scream at them, “go back to sleep!” but instead I roll out of bed, blurry-eyed and…
Can you believe Christmas is less than 3 months away? I can’t believe fall is already here and I have so much to do to get ready for the holidays. My family is coming to visit for Thanksgiving and we’re hoping to travel somewhere warm this Christmas season. Thus, I’ve already started testing out holiday…
