  • Coveting Denim

    I lament ever parting with my denim jacket. Realistically, I probably would no longer be able to properly wear the one I used to own. Two kids did a little something to my slight torso after all. But, it’s the principle of the thing. Currently, I’m coveting an Old Navy denim jacket that I’ve seen…

  • Breaking the Soda Habit

    I have given up soda cold turkey twice in my life–when I was pregnant. I’ve gone through spits and spurts of removing fully leaded Coca-Cola from my refrigerator and my mind. But, I have always given in to the vending machine calling me. Once I have one, it’s all over with and I’m back to…

    One of the things we lawyerly types deal with is the fact that dark suits, white shirts and dark shoes are the norm.

  • Must Love Dogs

    Sometimes, things work in the weirdest of ways. You just never know when a little something or someone will enter in and either create tons of chaos, tons of love or both. Meet Gibson. (And, while you’re marveling at his cuteness, please ignore my complete lack of being done–long weekend and this pic was snapped…

  • My Little Firecracker

    I thought she’d come on the 4th of July which would have been soooo fitting, but she waited a week longer. See her? The little redhead anxiously awaiting the start of one of the four soccer matches she played in this weekend. (They are matches, aren’t they? Or are they games? I’m new to being…
