Congrats to the winner Junnie! I love “playing around” with beauty products. My mom was an “Avon lady” for many years while I was growing up. I even sold “Mary Kay” for about a minute…until I realized that I hate selling to family and friends. Anyway, beauty items make great last-minute Mother’s Day gifts too. … Read More
Tea parties are a great option for Mother’s Day. In the past, I have written about my love for Alice’s Tea Cup, one of my very favorite afternoon tea places in New York City. I don’t think that there is a better place to get tea party recipes from than there. As such, I’m sharing … Read More
Congrats to the winners: Paige, Jaclyn and Tara A couple of weeks ago, I attended a wonderful event that was hosted by FineStationery.com and Celebrations.com.

I love the month of May. It’s filled with fun celebrations. Of course, there is Mother’s Day on May 13th. I also celebrate my birthday on May 21st. I’ll be 39 (?!) I’m totally fine with that…39 is fine. It just makes me marvel anew at how quickly time flies. One of the great things … Read More

Stationery is one of my favorite things. I could spend hours getting lost in a stationery store – exploring all of the different designs, textures and such. With technology though, I now find some of my favorite stationery sources online. Although it takes a bit more time for my desired products to reach me, their … Read More
Mother’s Day 2010 will go down in my memory book. The gifts (chocolates, flowers, spa certificates, clothing, etc.) were great. The greatest gifts though were: -The flower from Michael. -The handprint and poem from Michael. Click to enlarge (cute poem!) AND -My husband volunteered to do the laundry! My husband is awesome and does a … Read More
When I picked Michael up from school today, he proudly handed me this: His little face was beaming with pride. “It’s for Mother’s Day” he explained. After I reassured him that I loved the gift, I asked him how he paid for it. (I hadn’t give him any money for the school’s plant sale yet.) … Read More
Mother’s Day 2010 is Sunday, May 9th. Since back in March, my dear husband has been asking me what I wanted for Mother’s Day and for my birthday which is also this month. I had no answer. Now that it is the week of Mother’s Day, I have a gazillion ideas. (Sorry, honey!) By not … Read More
