Happy weekend, friends!  I hope you and your loved ones are safe. My daughter lives in Dallas and is currently housing several friends who lost power and water. If you are in an area of the country that is challenged by recent storms, I am praying that things return to normal as quickly as ...

The holiday weekend is upon us, but it doesn't have the same excitement as usual.  Hubs is a bit grumpy because we always go to Palm Springs for Modernism Week during President's Weekend and, of course, it was canceled.  Le sigh.  I'll make some pink pancakes on Sunday and cut fruit and vegetables ...

This pandemic!  Oy!  It seems as though we are all having very different experiences, and much of that has to do with where we live.  Let me tell you, LA is no fun.  No fun at all. I don't blame my older daughter for going back to Dallas.  And if I didn't have to film classes and such in my kitchen, ...

I rarely find myself saying this, but after this week's events, I am at a loss for words.  I feel overwhelmed with emotions that seem to ebb and flow ... anxiety, disgust, concern.  I like to think of myself as an optimist and I do hope we can come together as a country and heal.  At least this is ...

Happy New Year, friends!  It feels good to be able to say goodbye to the most challenging and historic year in my lifetime.  If 2020 did nothing else, I think it forced many of us to look inward and question so much about our lives, work, relationships, priorities, and more.  In 2021, may we honor ...

Christmas will look very different for us this year, but we're going to make the best of it.  The five of us will be at my mom's house on Long Island for the winter break, and we're staying put the entire time.  No outings or visits, just hanging out at home.  Next year, I'd like to think will be ...
