Simple, Modern Salt and Pepper Shakers
Posted on 02. Mar, 2010 by admin.
From my new favorite design team, BUDesigns! I love these salt and pepper shakers – totally cool. In fact, they are so cool they don’t look like salt and pepper shakers at all, but more like minimalist sculptures.
Just think, you could have little sculptures on your table and no one would know that [...]

High Powered Moms: From Workplace to Home
Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by admin.
As a mom with advanced degrees (M.B.A. and M.F.A.), I like to joke with my own mom that I spent a hell of a lot of money on my brain just to be a stay at home mom. It’s always good for a laugh from her as she not only helped educate me along [...]

Grow Greens In Your Refrigerator
Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by admin.
Like fresh veggies but don’t have the time (or inclination) to start a garden in your backyard? That’s OK, start one in your fridge. And no, I’m not talking about mold or other things you can inadvertently grow in any refrigerator. I’m talking about a fridge designed to actually grow plants.

I wish I had the house for this lamp to go in…it’s just stunning. From BUDesigns (I stumbled on their website and can’t get enough of their stuff!) Since their site is in Latvian I can’t tell you how much it is or even how to get it, but they do have a [...]

How To Walk In Stiletto Heels
Posted on 25. Feb, 2010 by admin.
There is nothing sexier than a woman’s legs in stiletto heels. The leg muscles are tight, the butt seems to raise up a bit. However, a woman teetering in stilettos, wobbling like a newborn colt is decidedly UN-sexy, don’t you think?
I mean that takes damsel in distress a little far. [...]

Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by admin.
Fenugreek is the miracle breast feeding herb! It’s been taken for centuries to increase breast milk production. In fact, I read that it can increase a woman’s milk production by up to 900% if you can believe that.
I’m taking fenugreek now and have definitely noticed an increase in my milk supply, [...]

Jewelry Organizer On The Down Low
Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by admin.
I found this DIY jewelry organizer on one of my favorite websites, DesignSponge, that I just love. My jewelry is a mess and I’ve all but given up on getting it organized.
Since you can’t see it, I rationalize, what does it matter that it’s a mess? This “hidden” jewelry box is [...]

How To Talk To Your Nanny
Posted on 23. Feb, 2010 by admin.
We have the most wonderful nanny who comes one day a week and, if my daughter and I could have our way, we’d have her ALL DAY EVERY DAY! Not that I want to outsource all of my mothering duties (though, to be fair, some days I want to do exactly that).
It’s [...]

Protecting the environment has never been so stylish – at least in the grocery store. Check out Envirosax. You may have heard of them before as they have been around awhile, but they are new to me.
I have a number of cloth grocery bags that I try to use and pretty much [...]

Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by admin.
A friend recently asked me if I was happy with my Williams Sonoma All Clad pots and I found myself thinking of how much I love my pots and pans. So, I thought I’d share my thoughts with you.
I love to cook. Always have. Now, that doesn’t mean I’ve always been [...]
