I am a wife, mother, and attorney, but not always in that order. I am also phenomenally indecisive, except when it comes to my husband, the Mister, and our boys--they are an easy commitment to make, and I write about them often. I devote the rest of

Magical Coconut Bars
{Magical Coconut Bars photo credit: Post Punk Kitchen} Or as I labeled them for the school bake sale, Coconut & Dark Chocolate Gooey Bars (Vegan: no dairy, no eggs). I thought law school was competitive, but that was before I participated my fir...
Shout Out | Simply Seleta
I’ve been stressed about a million and one things lately–some of them valid {but beyond my control} and some of them just me being my usual Type A freakazoid looking for things to worry about {will The Mr.’s severance bump us into ...
Cold Cream Update
No loyalty, I tell you. Brands be damned, the only thing I insist upon is the type of cleanser. It must be cold cream. No exceptions. Cold cream and witch hazel is a classic combo in use since the 1800s, but up until recently, not very popula...
Things for My Face
Let me just start this post off by saying I feel slightly stupid writing about what I use on my face, despite a few comments and emails asking me exactly that. And the funny thing is that I love to read beauty regimen posts on other blogs. In fac...
Blog Crush | Inchmark
Image © 2009 by Brooke Hellewell Reynolds of Inchmark. Originally posted HERE. I have been reading Inchmark for a very long time but never linked to it anywhere. Clearly a mistake on my part (you know how careless I am with the whole linking pro...
Portion Control
Portion control is one of the biggest challenges in any weight loss plan. Popcorn I can eat forever; broccoli, not so much. I’ve been doing some reading, and it’s becoming clearer to me that there are certain foods I should stay away fr...
The Bright Side Project, Even Brighter
You have to love a friend with connections; Tristan always has the latest and greatest stuff. Except, since I’m her friend, I rarely get the stuff! Instead, she gives it away on her blog, and unless it’s something I really, really wan...
Low Point Foods That Helped: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert
In order to eat as clean as I like and still stay within my point value, I’m going to need to rework my recipes and do research on low fat cooking. While I am normally opposed to artifical flavors and colors, preservatives, and ingredients I c...
Go, Go, Go!
I decided to honor my love for Backyardigan’s music by buying “their” Born to Play CD. I didn’t even lie to myself and say it was strictly for the boys. I did tell them I was buying them something they would love, hoping years...
A Little Hut Alphabet Cards!
One of my favorite designers is Patricia Zapata. The fact she is insanely talented with paper is hardly late breaking news; she does have her own book coming out in August. You would think the last several months designing, developing, photographin...
Attracting Wealth and Hunting Wallets
I live in a historically dry area of southern California, so my polka dot rain boots seemed like a frivolous purchase to my family and friends. As luck would have it, this year has seen heavy rainfall and my boots, plenty of wear. Clearly, then, ...
Vroom-Vroom, Cruisin’ the Dunes
It started off innocuously enough. A hum here, a warble there. An innocent toe tap (or two) while Mikey and Nico sang along at the tops of their voices with Tyrone, Uniqua, Pablo, Austin, and Tasha. Then, one day I watched The Backyardigans video...
Pin Straight
I found a new product that works so (surprisingly) well for such a low price point that I had to share it with anyone else who straightens wavy, frizzy hair on a regular basis. The other day I remembered I needed conditioner while at Target. The sa...
