How do I love thee, my dear computer? Let me count the ways . . .
I love my Mac laptop. Truly love it. It’s about four years old and our IT person, JJ, is always telling me I should upgrade. But how can I? My computer is probably the cutest little thing you’ll ever see [...]

I don’t know what came over me, but I decided to make tutus for my nieces and daughters as gifts. I had ordered my daughter an adorable PrissyPoofs ladybug tutu for Halloween. When I got it in the mail, I realized I could actually make the item myself for a fraction of the cost. Let [...]

I finally did it. I hired someone to help me out full time – a marketing associate. I came to the realization that I needed one about a year ago when I was late getting some information to a colleague. I said to her, “Sorry about that. I probably need an assistant.”
She replied with a [...]

For the first time in 25 years, we closed our offices for the 2007 holidays. It was everything I thought it would be . . . ten blissful days full of family, friends, food and sleep. It was especially rewarding for our managers, who can never really seem to take a few days off without [...]

In a recent Boston Globe article, the topic of men being the new weaker sex [...]

I work full time. My husband works full time. We split the parental duties evenly. So why does he think he deserves a gold star if he cooks dinner four nights in a row? I never asked him to cook. He just did it. Each night I thanked him for a great meal. After serving [...]

I don’t spend a lot of time on YouTube, but my toddler does.
Because my 3-year-old, Ella, loves to sing, her father introduced her to the endless stream of talentless individuals butchering the songs from “Annie” and “Mary Poppins” on YouTube. There are a few cute kids who can sing. Ella has viewed the Macy’s Day [...]

I was relieved and optimistic when I was presented with the option of sleeping on my stomach at 8 1/2 months pregnant., but the belly bed proved to be a bust.
