Potty Training - Need Help and Advice

My very independent little boy (recently turned two) just went on the potty chair for the first time ever today! As you can imagine this was a very exciting moment in our house. And it wasn't just tinkle, oh no, it was #2!!! He's been hiding for privacy for weeks as he does his business in his diaper. Today I decided that when this happens his options should be to go on the potty chair or risk the floor but the diaper should come off. Not sure if I'm going about this the right way, not sure if… Continue

Diaper-Free Confidence - Discover 3 Simple Tips to Begin Baby Potty Training and Reduce Diaper Rash...

What's Your Cyber Curb Appeal?

Immediately after my first child was born I developed a little ritual. My husband would walk in the door at 5:34PM and I would cheerfully hand him our son and say "I need to get out of here". I would then drive up and down my favorite Kansas City streets for about an hour in search of one thing: Checking out beautiful entrances to homes.





I appreciate all the thought and inspiration that go into a beautiful entrance. I wanted to see… Continue

Memories of Michael

I learned that Michael Jackson, the legendary international 80's pop icon, died of a heart attack amidst my son's birthday party. As the kids caught wind of the news they simply took a brief pause before proceeding to scarf down their pizza. They don't "know" Michael the way we "know" Michael. Despite his crazy antics and baby balcony wielding ways, his music will be a constant reminder of my carefree youth listening to "Beat It" and other classic 45's on my turntable (my son wouldn't recognize… Continue

And please, let me know if you have any additional suggestions.

What's Your Status

I met a gorgeous gal named Sarah Jones who is founder and designer for Status Design Studio. We met at our fabulous Uptown Dallas Netweavers luncheon, where she showed off her latest, cutest design. A reversible tunic and leggings outfit. She even changed the look of the entire outfit right before our eyes. Took about 2-seconds to turn this outfit into a calf length, slinky dress. Adorable! She sells her clothes at various boutiques in Dallas, including Betty Cupcake and at the Four Seasons.… Continue

How to Move Cross-Country Without an Ounce of Style.

You might know that we recently sold our house and bought a new one in record time. Sure, we did some things right: purging our home of clutter, staging it and even getting creative by attempting to sell it on Twitter (which got us on local TV, a real hoot!). Many other things just fell into place, seemingly like magic: we found our (gorgeously restored, 100-year-old) dream house quickly, the sellers were motivated and ready to deal, and… Continue

Sexy Beer Cans - Something You Never Expected!

WhenI came across this beer, I was floored. I don't even like beer, but I can see myself with this one!



Ramm ND developed these beer cans, which are interesting enough on their own. But the real charm is when the can is combined with another identical can - they develop the illusion of a pair of panties, a garter belt, and patterned fishnet stockings! The only problem is…once you drink a beer, the image is lost! Can you imagine! LOL I don’t know if, or where, these are available for… Continue

Living In My Forties and Lovin' Life

My friend called me with the name of a man who prescribed estrogen patches and I called him immediately to set up an appointment and investigate. Could it be that there was a cure for my Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde monthly syndrome? I had been searching long and hard for something…anything, that I could take to keep me sane and normal through that one week of hell every month.



His office was located directly next to my yoga studio and so I stopped by after my class. I walked in soaked… Continue
