Modern Millie’s

One of my all time favorite shops on the North Shore for one-of-a-kind fashion statements is Modern Millie’s in Salem. Named after that effervescent flapper, Millie, the shop is filled with retro fashions alongside some designer-wear. (I myself have consigned bejeweled Jimmy Choo kitten heels and Chanel wedges here.) The accessories are outrageous fun–sparkling pink kitty cat rings, peacock necklaces, enormous flowers for your hair, cat eye sunglasses… you get the idea. Whether you want a floor-length chiffon gown or a vintage fur hat, this is the place you’d find it!

  • The Nutcracker

    We got all dressed up and went to see The Nutcracker today at Roussel Hall at Loyola. Annabelle loves ballerinas and I thought she’d make it through about 30 minutes and I thought Henry would make it through 5. They both sat through the whole thing! George and I kept looking at each other in amazement. Annabelle sat on my lap in her purple tutu and pink cowboy boots, completely enrapt, and Henry, though initially scared of the lowering lights,…

    Healing and Dealing with Grief and Trauma

    I haven’t wanted to post because there’s just so much, so much deep tragedy and trauma in my life. I don’t want to write any of it down because I want to pretend none of it is true. But as a person who has chosen to always live in truth and joy and integrity, no matter what happens, I guess I should say it. Except I can’t. So for now, I’m not going to even write about my deep deep…

  • These are a Few of My Favorite Things

    So, one of my favorite places to shop is Nordstroms because there customer service is above and beyond, free shipping, and easy returns with no interrogation or suspicion that you are trying to con them. I can happily shop and try new things and be assured that if I don’t like it, I can return it. (I rarely return, but I like to know I can.) So Nordstroms sent me a few sample with my last purchase and I loved…

  • Always an adventure!

    OK, I elect two-year-old Henry as messiest toddler of the year. This afternoon, he was eating a chocolate ice cream cone which is only allowed in the kitchen. I saw him through the crack of the door toddling down the hall with his cone. I watched him drop it upside down, squat down to pick it up, but then change his mind and get down on all fours where he promptly began eating it like a puppy. I was brushing…

  • Excellent reasons to Swim in the Sea…As if we needed more…

    We love taking the kids to swim in the ocean. We knew it was the best “school” for their early years, where everything they learn is through their senses. What better place to explore science, nature, environment, and get exercise too? But here are even more reasons to take a dip in the sea! This Is Your Brain on the Ocean

  • Batman’s Potty Talk

    I came home today to find Henry wearing his Mickey Mouse underwear backwards with a pink playsilk tied around his neck as a cape. “I’m Batman!” he shouted, running down the hall, the cape flying out behind him. It was a good view from the back. We’re working on potty training. I said, “Henry, did you use the potty while I was gone?” “Nope,” he replied as he ran by. “Do you have to go?” “Nope.” About 2 minutes later,…
