TGIF
For one reason or the other it has proven to have been quite a week and I’m thankful it’s over. I’ll be doing this ~ It’s time for a seasonal cleaning. I’m looking forward to plugging into a higher energy source this weekend to clean out all the mental, spiritual and physical cobwebs that have gathered this week. I will come back with a clear mind and heart, refreshed and renewed, positively polished & perky! I’ll be excited to share… [Read More]

Needlepoint Belts
Thinking I need a holiday project and being inspired by Tin Tin’s The Trad blog, I decided to research some possibilities to make them from kits. The last time I tackled a needlepoint project I didn’t need cheaters and the boys were babies. Yikes! A long time ago! They would look great with those pair of khakis, be a conversation piece and perhaps a family heirloom.Wouldn’t that be nice? Here are some links for kits that I found. If all… [Read More]

The Lost Symbol and Personal Commentary
So what do you think? I was completely captivated with the Da Vinci Code but did not read Angels and Demons. However, I did see both movies and although I did enjoy Da Vinci more neither one rocked my world. As they say, I could have waited for the DVD. After being so literature deprived lately, I rushed out on the day The Lost Symbol was released to pick it up. I was so anxious to get another page turner… [Read More]

The Trad Guy
I’ve always been a sucker for a guy in a pair of khakis, a long sleeve RL button-down shirt, tasseled loafers, a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers and the scent of Polo. This package is classic and timeless. This is Mr. P. M. and I have been raising two boys to fill his Sperry Top-Siders to continue the tradition. These three men have been ideal participants simply by possessing a Y chromosome which means they will wear practically anything that I… [Read More]

Tailgate Time!
I LOVE all things collegiate not only because I am a USC alum and proud of it but all things collegiate were indoctrinated in me from birth. Orange County is Trojan Country although those from that other school across town and which must not be named would have a different opinion. As I tell anyone my favorite teams are USC and anyone that is playing UCLA However, after spending this morning googling and checking out websites for collegiate needlepoint belts… [Read More]

Ding Dong Ditch! Back-to-School Mom’s Basket
Did I ring your door bell tonight with a Back-to-School Mom’s Basket? I just thought it would be fun to surprise you! I hope you’ll think it’s fun too! I saw a few things and they reminded me of you. It all started when I saw this cute bushel basket at Michael’s for 40% off! How could I resist? When I saw this… “Just Say No To The Sign Up Sheet” pad and clipboard from Preppy Paper Girl I knew… [Read More]

My Joe Wilson Moment
The incident with Joe Wilson brought to mind my own moment of disclosure from years of calculated deceit. It involved a loaf of bread. When my boys were very young and I hadn’t gotten to the store to buy another loaf which was running low for the PB & J sandwiches and knowing no one liked to eat the heals of the bread I concocted a story. I told them it was the baker’s piece and it was so special… [Read More]
