We got the Pack! Just three days after being asked to participate in the “Where the Fack is My Pack” Experiment, the Pack arrived on our doorstep. Cody, our Pug, was immediately curious and kept sniffing the box as I opened it, then stood by patiently as I took a photograph. The Pack came to [...]
For many, the word “sushi” alone conjures up all sorts of weird feelings and facial expressions. I happen to be in the group of people who adores sushi. It wasn’t an immediate love affair, by any means. One of my best male friends who I’ve known for, gosh 26 years now, took me for sushi about 24 [...]
Generally I’m not one to countdown the holidays, but this year I’m actually excited about Christmas. I’ve done a little shopping, thinking about the Christmas tree and all the fun and funky ornaments we bought last year. I have my favorite Christmas movies that I watch several times throughout the holidays. No, not really an [...]
Pre-holiday decluttering… It doesn’t matter if we’ve been naughty or nice, pre-holiday is the best time to declutter to make room for the slew of new stuff.

Well, it was my first winter in the [...]
On my recent media tour, my fourth stop was California’s capital city, Sacramento. I had the pleasure of staying at The Citizen Hotel with a gorgeous view of the capital building. By the time I reached my room, I had already given the establishment a nick name: The Hotel with a Sense of Humor. On [...]

I must be the only one who has not read Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It was on the N.Y. Times Best Seller list for weeks, is currently number one on amazon dot com, and now the motion picture starring Julia Roberts will be released this Friday, August 13th. Last year, sometime, I did [...]
Small space living is an art. To reduce your surroundings to only what you need, what you love and what is most functional…is a challenge, but one that is satisfying in the end. Years ago, when I began writing my first book, I was wrestling with the idea that I had reached the Joneses in [...]
