Fashion Friday – A Classy Diaper Bag
I have a big thing about carrying a classy looking purse. I want my bags to be leather (or vegan leather) with no pattern. Don’t get me wrong, I went thru a Vera Bradley phase back in the day, but I find that a nice leather bag with clean lines in a good neutral can…
Read MoreBookish Questions – How do you feel about special editions?
How do you feel about special editions of books? Special editions of novels are the bane of my existence – or, at least my pocketbook. I mean, I love them, and I have the means to buy them, which is how I end up with so many different versions of the same novel. Fortunately there…

As the mom of a preemie, one of the things I had to worry about in those first few weeks after Milli was born was the higher risk of illness. That’s why I could hardly believe it when CNN recently ran a news story about a Measles outbreak in Minnesota. That’s right, Minnesota, United States…

Book It! – Birthday Books
My birthday is in April, so it’s usually a great month for books. After all, what better excuse for a reader to pick up some new and beautiful books than her birthday? I actually wasn’t given any books for my birthday this year- probably due to my lack of shelf space right now. But I…
Read MoreOne Month
Mildred turned 1 month old on Monday. It seems like we were just in the hospital with her a week ago, but that might just be because I’ve probably only gotten a week’s worth of sleep in the last month. I should probably just be glad that I’m not Milli. She’s been having tummy troubles…
