Gifts That Glam

Gifts That Glam

I am a sucker for gift guides at this time of year.  From the pages of glossy magazines to my local newspaper’s holiday round up, I find it hard to pass up a well-edited selection of gifts to give (or to get!) And so mom a la mode has had access to some of the […]

{Guest Post} Reflections on “The Storm” — Long Beach Island, NJ

I got to know Jen Madden through the community in which I live in Northern New Jersey, and have often enjoyed swapping stories about our respective experiences at the Jersey Shore, as we both have spent considerable amounts of time on Long Beach Island over the years.  As we are all dealing with the effects […]

And wouldn’t ya know it, the Zac Brown Band is heading to New York City this coming weekend to play The Garden.  My friend and fellow blogger, Ryan M. of MillertimeMusicSpot.blogspot.com – […]

A Little BOO-zy and wonderfully Spooktacular: Our Fall Activities

Hurricanes aside, the Fall enchants me: from the crisp weather to the picturesque foliage – and of course – the festive social happenings. Sure, there’s the apple and pumpkin picking, the hayrides, the corn mazes and all the piping-hot apple cider donuts you can eat. But there are also a few activities somewhat unique to […]

Empty Nest, Happy Heart

Our handyman, Joe, just left after tackling an exhaust vent project on the exterior of our house…and I’m still thinking about him. Not Joe. Lloyd. I’m thinking about Lloyd. Who is Lloyd? Let me set the scene for you: Late in the summer, it was a pretty typical Sunday night in our Northern New Jersey […]

{Guest Post} From Wendy’s Window: And They’re Off…

The Sea: Best Gift-Giver Ever

I’m blogging from the beach this week and find myself reminiscing a bit, and marveling at the beautifully peaceful and picturesque “gifts of the sea.” I know, I know – that story has long been written by the prolific Anne Morrow Lindbergh.  And the book has resonated with me far beyond the first time I […]
