I bought too many potatoes last week for a thing and so I roasted 8 or so tonight. Rinsed, cut, tossed in olive oil, minced 5 cloves of garlic, salt and pepper. Roast at 400° for 45 minutes.… Read More »

My friend Kristin (not the author) recommended Magic Hour when we were in Destin during spring break. I picked it up last week and devoured in just a few sittings. I found myself making excuses for reading time….which wasn’t hard since everyone else in my house was preoccupied with the road to the College World Series.… Read More »

I’ve always been curious about the cute little “mini me” cartoon emojis that people sometimes send via text. When my mom (who is in her seventies) sent me a text with a cartoon of herself I realized then and there that I needed to figure this out.
My oldest son recently taught me how to use Snapchat. … Read More »

My hardback version of Bringing Up Boys: Shaping the Next Generation of Men was copyrighted 2001, the year my youngest son was born. I grabbed it from my library today to review something I remembered from this amazing book. I realized when putting it back on the shelf that I’ve had this book for 18 years and it is the parenting book that I most often refer to. … Read More »

When the last school bell rings and my children exit the front doors of DES and into summer, they immediately require sustenance every 15 to 45 minutes. I typically start the summer with the high hopes of fruit kabobs and worksheet bridge books and by July, it’s anything covered in neon orange cheese powder, Popsicles that come in a mesh bag of a 1000 and unlimited WIFI.… Read More »

Well, we all made it to summer and what’s that saying……”The pool/beach will give it whatever body I give it?” That’s my mentality considering most moms should get a patch for just surviving May. I do tend to eat less and lighter, but still maintain this squishy physique with plenty of empty wine calories.… Read More »
Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is a pioneer and legendary host on the late-night talk-show circuit. When she’s accused of being a “woman who hates women,” she puts affirmative action on the to-do list, and—presto!—Molly (Mindy Kaling) is hired as the one woman in Katherine’s all-male writers’ room. But Molly might be too little too late, as the formidable Katherine also faces the reality of low ratings and a network that wants to replace her.… Read More »

For some people, a green thumb is hard to come by. The few flowers I’ve planted in my gardens over the years mostly remain, some of them barely clinging to life while others surprisingly hang on from one year to the next. Others, well, not so much.
The good news is that our fair city offers a gorgeous plant life to admire just a short drive away at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.… Read More »

I was one of the lucky few who scored tickets to see the United States premiere of Rocketman in New York City last night. I’ve shared tons of free movie passes over the years, but I selfishly kept these for myself!
I had never been to Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center and was quite thrilled to be on the second row of the balcony with a fishbowl view of the star-studded audience. … Read More »

If you were to challenge the Townsends to an ice cream eating contest, you
Beth and I see each other at least twice a week when we exercise. We therefore have plenty of time to chat and discuss a myriad of topics. I was raving to her about Kroger Click List which is thankfully now just called Kroger Pickup (more on that another day) when she told me about Scan, Bag, and Go. … Read More »
