Looking for a safe alternative to Facebook for your tween?
This is a sponsored post. I am a Sears blogger, though all opinions are my own. I love shortcuts. Ways to save time. Work arounds. As a work-at-home mom, my day is divided in to two parts…with kids and without kids. Let’s not even get in to the fact that my day...

Is there anything more fun than being near the water? As a kid, I have vivid memories of playing at Cheesequake Park somewhere in New Jersey. There was a sandy beach on the edge of the lake. At least I think it was a lake? And was the park actually called Cheesequake Park?! Who...

From time to time, I like to share fun stuff with my readers…his is one of those times. Collective Bias — a PR company I happen to love to work with– is sponsoring the Cybher conference in London on June 1st, 2013.

If I have ever been asked the questions “What would you take out of your home in the case of a fire or natural disaster?”, my answer is “After I have safely escorted my family out of the house, I would take as many photo albums as I could carry.” You see photos are...

A day late and a dollar short. Yep, that’s me. I’m not one to jump on the bandwagon when it is still moving. Nope. Generally I wait until said bandwagon is at a virtual stop. Wouldn’t want to be trendy, now would I? No, not me. So it is fitting that I am jumping...

Some of you may be surprised that I am British. I mention my British-ness here and there. A memory. An anecdote. A tale of my childhood. Probably most obvious when I meet someone. I always hear “You have the faintest smidge of an accent.” While for the most part I blog as an American...

Pages were somewhat frayed. What had I written on the pad? On closer inspection, I saw immediately what...

My kids LOVE to bake. They bake for birthdays, holidays, and just because. The older one bakes for friends at school. I don’t know how she carries a tray of cupcakes and her backpack and lunchbox, but she manages somehow. She likes sharing what she bakes with her friends. Two weekends ago, my son...

I didn’t grow up eating Thanksgiving Dinner. I was born in the United Kingdom, so it makes sense that traditions in England would be different to America. There is no Thanksgiving Day in England. No turkey or stuffing or pumpkin pie for me. It’s an entirely American tradition. What is odd is that for...

Big box stores were not a part of my childhood. If you wanted a calendar, a set of coffee mugs, a birthday gift, and a pair of winter boots, you had to shop at the local mall. There were no mega stores that sold everything under the sun. I remember a few specialty stores...
