If you’re not a geek, you likely didn’t even know that today was the “Stevenote” - a major Apple announcement of some new devices, software and other goodies that we geeks can’t seem to get enough of. These famous keynote speeches have Apple fanboys (and fanmoms) tuned in online and Tweeting away before, during and after the talk.
Today’s announcements largely centered around upgrades to the iPod... READ MORE
Nicer New York
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Thursday, August 26, 2010 1:00 PM
Native Washingtonians feel a smug superiority to New York City.
It may be The Big Apple, seat of finance, fashion and the arts, but we’re the true corridor of power.
And we’re prettier, more polite and our streets don’t stink.
I’m not so sure about that middle element anymore, though.
I used to spend a week or two each summer with my Great-Aunts in New York. It was great fun, but however many the... READ MORE

Nursing Wear To Fit Your Needs, Style and Budget
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, August 13, 2010 10:00 AM
Am I the only one who is less-than-satisfied with the current selection of nursing-wear fashions available? Don’t get me wrong; I do occasionally stumble upon a piece or two that are pretty cute but, all in all, the options out there leave a little something to be desired, don’t you think?
Maybe I’m crazy, not looking hard enough, or not looking in the right places, but from what I can tell most... READ MORE
Music to Birth By
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, August 06, 2010 10:00 AM
Strangely enough, though I typically have some sort of music playing morning, noon and night, I have never listened to music during any of my previous four labors.
I just stumbled across this article, though, and I think I just might like to try incorporating music into my upcoming birth experience. The article states that “if you choose the right music, you can increase your body’s production of... READ MORE

It’s the Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major today.
And it’s not too late to take a tour, as the Vatican website now offers incredible virtual tours of all the Papal Basilicas.
Be sure to use the arrow keys to look around.
Sanctifying The Daily Grind
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Thursday, July 29, 2010 2:00 PM
It intrigues me that though Mary chose the better part, it is Martha who has the feast day.
Fr. Z. offers a reflection on this—and an analysis of this Velazquez painting— here.
A taste:
In this life there is always a tension between the active and the contemplative, the daily grind and a true Christian’s desire for silence, recollection and prayer. There is a tension trap as well in the desire to be recognized or to have this or that position which is not to be had.
How do we rise to the challenge of bringing something of prayer and reflection to our daily work?

Inception
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 10:00 AM
If you’ve seen the new film Inception, it’s likely that you either loved it or hated it. One way or the other, you probably walked out of the theater thinking, “What was that?” and feeling ready to chat about the movie with a group of friends.
In a twist of fate, I actually saw the film twice this week. Once with my husband (on a real date!) and the second time with my eighteen year old Eric.... READ MORE
Vote For Jane!

The Royal Mint wants to know who should be the next “Great Briton” in its special series of coins.
Jane Austen fans, unite! We must defeat John Lennon.
(Though if you go for Sir Walter Raleigh instead, I’ll still respect you.)

Two very sweet gals recently passed along a fantastic online fashion resource that I wanted to share with you all this week. (Thank you, Sara! Thank you, Colleen!)
The website is called eShakti.com.
eShakti.com is an online clothing boutique and, in my humble opinion, the answer to the prayers of all of us ladies with difficult to fit features, budgets to stick to and a love of fashion.
