I attended my neighbors wedding this weekend. It was a very nice affair, but there's one thing you need to know about Alison. She's a really great woman, but she's a little insecure. And by that I mean extremely. The big day was going fine, even though she was a nervous...

I thought I'd seen it all, but obviously I hadn't. Yesterday, while pushing my girl on the swings at a crowded playground, a woman carrying a large cardboard box approached. She asked some men to lend a hand and they obliged. She set it down right in the middle of the field,...

Money doesn't buy happiness. Everyone knows that, right? But what if we're all wrong. I mean, I saw a super rich guy go into a store, shopping for girls clothes, and this dude looked pretty freaking happy to me. He looked healthy, lean, and in shape. He had a beautiful...

Learned that lesson the hard way! We took a trip to visit my cousin on Cape Cod. If you never been, you really have to go. (To the cape, not my cousin. She's a little bit of a nightmare.) We spent a week there, taking in the sun, laying on the beach, hiking through...

Relatives were in town visiting this weekend. That means lots of eating out, going to shows, walking through parks, and eating some more. At night, we sat around the dinner room table playing board games. Last night, for a change of pace, we did one where each player is asked...

We had a snow day today, which is heaven for the kids and hell for me. How am I supposed to keep 2 little girls entertained when they can't leave the house? There's only so much TV a kid can take, and good luck getting my girls to open a book. Maybe if it were a book about TVS!...

Just got back from the Big Apple, and I have to say, that city never ceases to amaze me. It's so vibrant and creative. It seems like a great mix of super creative people willing to take chances just to make a buck. That's what I love about that place. The true sense that...

Dear Headmistress Perkins,
I am writing this letter under strong protest and mental duress. I realize that I acted out in class, but I do not think it is fair that I am being punished so. Yes, I do know that girls should not yell, scream, punch, kick, or urinate themselves...

My little niece Lindsey got her first birthday party invitation. The party was planned for an ice skating rink in a real dicey part of town. Whatever. I make no judgments. When we got there, we rented some ice skates. They had the cutest little white blades. At...

Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you about a matter of grave importance. My name is Shelia Pouster, but that is of little consequence. I am a precocious 11 year old girl (that's right, I know big words) and I also happen to very interested in fashion and clothes. I've noticed...
