This is a clip from the Mindy Gledhill concert to benefit Stephanie & Christian Nielson, who were in a plane crash this summer. The two little ladies on the stage are their daughters, Claire & Jane.

a little something to sweeten up your Monday morning. Can’t wait to try these little treats.

Dying to dance with you? Tell me, what gave you that idea, sir? Maybe it’s the frosty look I have plastered all over my face. Or, I know—this oversized t-shirt I’m sporting must be giving off that “Please grind on my ass ASAP” vibe. Or perhaps it’s that WEDDING RING I’m wearing! Seriously….
After spending the evening here, it’s official — I’m...

I’m not a big fan of o, the Oprah Magazine, but I am a sucker for a good column and I always enjoy Lisa Kogan’s. Love this.

After reading Katie’s new blog posts yesterday, I was inspired to share a few of my favorite things with you. And, without a doubt, my current obsession is Katie Melua. Georgia-born (as in the country), Katie has been a staple in the European music scene since 2003. Her music is so sweet…like a little kiss on the nose. I just love her. Download “Nine Million Bicycles” and...

Ok, so it’s Friday and it’s raining (again), but I promise this little slice of heaven will cheer you up. In fact, you might just find yourself squealing in your office a little bit.

As a longtime fan of all things British, I can’t wait to see this little movie.
My apologies for the lack of posts. Let’s just say it’s been one of those weeks. With that said, a few really awesome things have happened over the past few days, including…. 1. I finally got the chance to partake in the delicious treats at Georgetown’s Baked & Wired. May I recommend the strawberry cupcake? It’s heavenly. 2. I ran three times with my...

I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart, I am never without it, anywhere I go you go, my dear; And whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling I fear no fate, for you are my fate, my sweet I want no world, for beautiful you are my world, my true… I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart. -E.E. Cummings If ever there were two people who were undoubtedly made to be...
our wicked awesome summer trip...
In celebration of Anson getting a summer vacation (albeit way too short), we’ve decided to spend a long June weekend in what I imagine will soon be my new favorite city…Boston! The thing is, we have no idea where to stay or what to do while we’re there. That’s where you come in. If you have any suggestions about absolutely anything we should see, do, eat or drink, please...
Can you smell what Barack is cooking?!?
happy PA primary day.

David Cook, you’re a genius. Let’s look at the facts here: You’re perma-melancholy. You’ve mouthed off to Simon (never a good idea). You’re into crossword puzzles. You cry….and you’re a dude. And I’m pretty sure you’re completely bald under that faux-rockstar comb-over thing you’ve got going on. But yet you hold all of womankind (and I do...

I sense a new birthday tradition coming on...
Me: Ans! Did you get me a birthday cake?
Anson: Actually...I made you a cake.
Me: Whoa. You did? Let me see it!
Anson: Well, it's a little unattractive....
Me: I don't care. Let me see.
Anson: Ok, here it is....
( Long pause)
Me: Wow. What is it?
Anson: Chocolate cake, covered in Cool Whip and crushed-up Take 5's, of course.
Naturally.
