Nina-Rose is my only daughter. I am so lucky to have at least one girl so we can do all the fun “girl” stuff together. Recently, I had an awesome afternoon tea at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead with her. It was wonderful to indoctrinate her into the joys of ‘taking tea’ and to create such a […]

Summer’s here…break out the grills!
“Makes me wonder why the smell from a grill can spark up nostalgia…” -“Sumertime” by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince This a line from one of my all-time favorite summer songs and it just rings so true.

“You didn’t grow under my heart but in it.”
I couldn’t let Mother’s Day go without wishing my mother a Happy Mother’s Day. She always instilled in me the idea that I may not have grown under her heart but rather I grew in it. Thanks, Mom! My mother, sisters, Grandmother & I circa 1981 “Not flesh of my flesh, Nor bone of my […]

As Mother’s Day approaches, I thought I’d share a video put together by Freschetta Pizza about what real moms want for Mother’s Day. It is a cute, quick montage and if you look close enough you’ll even see me! As for what THIS real Mom wants for Mother’s Day…how about a baby? (I’m 9 months […]
