Another Treasure Store on the North Shore: The Stock Exchange in Manchester By The Sea. This high-end consignment shop is full of eye-popping treasures at fabulous prices. For example, I recently got a pair of glossy ruby red Louboutins in excellent condition for $60. This is the place ladies drop off all those gorgeous coats and gala gowns that still have tags on them. (They also have furniture, rugs, dishes, drapes, etc. I got an antique swivel mirror in mahogany for $90!) The ladies who work there have an excellent eye for displaying their latest treasures, and their stuff moves fast, so if you pop in, don’t think about it for too long! Buy it!
I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams. Funny? Sometimes. Scandalous? Hopefully. Inspiring? Perhaps. Full of love? Always.
Welcome to my World.

Tentacles and Testicles
Today I was reading stories to Annabelle and Henry and one had an octopus in it. I was reading it and I was supposed to say “The octopus reached out one tentacle” but I said “The octopus reached out one testicle.” This made me laugh hysterically. The kids just stared at me.Today was one of those days where we spent six hours outside–it was gorgeous, 80 degrees, sunny, and by 3pm, I was ready to go to bed. We spent…
First Day of Preschool
Well, the first morning at Annabelle’s preschool went incredibly well. She ate a good breakfast of angel hair pasta nests, her favorite meal, and got dressed and out the door on time, wearing her little pink dress that has the word “Annabelle” monogrammed across the chest. On the way there, I told her the teachers would be speaking to her in a different language. She told me how she loves different languages. She immediately jumped in playing playdough with the…
Whisks, Violins, Rabbit Muffins, and Wishing I had a Tail…
I couldn’t help but shake my head in wonder tonight as two-year-old Henry took the whisk from out of the kitchen drawer, stuck it between his legs, and started to ride it around the kitchen making clip-clop noises with his tongue. “Look a’ me, Abelle” he said and continued to gallop and clip-clop. When he says “Abelle”, it sounds like Apple. George was making a grilled cheese sandwich for Abelle while this went on, and he flipped the spatula in…
Wild Dances and Gnome Beards
Well, another sweltering day in New Orleans with sick babies, but we made the most of it. Let’s see, highlights of our day included taping blankets on a box, sewing yarn on a sock and creating a puppet theater; wearing fairy wings and emptying out the refrigerator for a “picnic;” dancing foolishly and wildly around the living room (with kids so captivated they didn’t even participate at first, just watched me, stupefied, as I ran in circles whipping my head…
Is Kindergarten the Greatest Invention of the Last Thousand Years?
Do you remember the “Wake-Up Fairy” who came around after nap time in Kindergarten to touch us gently on the head, signaling us it was time to wake up?
Are the Common Core State Standards Helping or Hurting?
I have mixed feelings on the government’s attempts to make education better and stronger in the United States. The latest attempt, the Common Core State Standards, is another attempt to make sure children do not fall through the cracks in the system. Too many children are passed from grade to grade without mastering the previous grade’s basics. Most states have adopted the Common Core Standards for their schools. The problem is, it’s extremely difficult to create “tests” that measure what…
