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. Which is cool…very cool…but the icing on the cake is they are taking one lucky Sofab...

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...

Turkey, stuffing, and side dishes is what most love about Thanksgiving. I love all the holiday foods too. I can sink in to a turkey-induced coma as quickly as the next person. However, I am a strategic eater. I gorge on turkey and all the trimmings, but always leave a little spot open. When...

My husband shakes his head whenever I run in to someone I know. I can’t help it. I have a good memory for faces. A very good memory. If I meet you, I will likely remember you when we next meet. Once I’ve talked to you I always remember you. I may not always...

You’re driving to pick up your kids. Enjoying the last moments of relative quiet before the kids pile in the car. And you hear a beep. Is it the radio? Or is it a police car? Instinctively you reached for your purse. Sure that the beeping is the new ringtone on your phone. When...

You look at the schedule. You gaze at it hoping to find an opening. An open space. A small corner where an activity can squeeze in. After a bit you realize that tweaking won’t work. Rearranging activities won’t work. Looking in to carpools won’t help either. Your schedule is simply too full. So you...

I wasn’t the last person to jump on the Harry Potter bandwagon. I first learned about the books back when my oldest was in elementary school. She quickly zipped through Junie B. Jones and the Magic Tree House series. Before long she was chomping at the bit to read something else. She was a...

While I’m not much of a gamer, I do love watching my children play games. We’ve amassed a collection of games over the years and a few game systems to boot. My husband was an early adopter with the Commodore 64 system in his late teens/college years. His 64 gathered dust but that didn’t...
