A Party, a Dress, Tapas and a Goddess Giving Birth
This weekend marked the official end of my 40th birthday celebration. I had a fantastic birthday party that no one will soon forget.
A Fabulous 40th Birthday Week Indeed
I’ve been so busy that I never posted about my birthday! It started the weekend before with a delicious red velvet cake from BJs. Now, given that I have a bakery nearby that I adore, you may be wondering why I would buy a store-bought cake. Well, there are two reasons. First, I knew that…

Thanksgiving, Quirky Style

To be honest, people who always go on about sunshine and roses and look-at-my-perfect-kids-and-my-super-happy-life kind of piss me off. For awhile I thought that it must be some sort of jealousy. But, now that I’ve…
