Did You Shop?
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Saturday, November 27, 2010
I find myself having an unusual Thanksgiving celebration this week. As I’ve mentioned, I’m in Cambridge celebrating with Eric while Greg and Adam remain at home working/going to school. We had a terrific Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday thanks to the graciousness of one of Eric’s dorm mates and her family who hosted eight students (and one wayward Mom!). Yesterday, we treated ourselves to an afternoon... READ MORE
Gotta Love the Wellies
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, November 19, 2010
Ever since I read Paddington Bear as a child I’ve dreamed of slipping a pair of Wellies (a.k.a. Wellington Boots) onto my feet. I recently checked out Paddington Bear from the library for my own little ones and the desire was rekindled. For any of you out there who are interested in the history of fashion, as I am, Google turned up some interesting facts:
“1817 was the year the wellington first made... READ MORE
But It All Looks So Good!
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Food on Wednesday, November 10, 2010
We read it in magazines. We overhear it in waiting rooms. We get an earful about it over the holiday dinner table with extended family:
For goodness’ sake, whatever you do, NEVER EVER go to the grocery store on an empty stomach.
Well, this past weekend I found myself running an errand in the late afternoon, and before I knew it we were colliding with the dinner hour.
“Let’s just make a quick stop... READ MORE
Cute & Cool Tees Make Great Gifts
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, November 05, 2010
I realize Christmas is still about two months away but I’m determined to finish my shopping before Advent begins this year.
Will my determination trump my nature (my nature having a reputation for procrastination)? It’s highly unlikely but I’m giving it all I’ve got! Who’s with me?
While I was wandering the web in search of Christmas presents for friends and family I stumbled upon a website called... READ MORE

You all know know this is the blog for anyone grappling with the meaning of life or the cleaning of laundry.
So today, let’s talk laundry. Specifically, laundry hampers.
I love my laundry hamper. Or I suppose I should say, I loved my laundry hamper. Because it’s certainly seen brighter days.

S Is For Sweet

Hi ladies!
Thank you so much for the many prayers before, during and after the birth of my little one! They meant the world to me! I’ve missed you guys and am so glad to be back! Having said that, I am just a tiny bit sleep-deprived so you will forgive me if my grammar, spelling, and/or clarity leaves something to be desired. Yawn…
Anyway, on to the fashion…
Since I’m currently living in the land... READ MORE
Back to School Buying
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Wednesday, July 28, 2010
Marketing is out of control these days, right? Stores fill with Christmas merchandise in October, Valentine’s Day stuff in late December, and Easter stuff before Lent has even begun.
It’s so common that I don’t want to make a cliché out of myself by kvetching about it, so I usually keep my mouth shut.
However, I did a big eye-roll this year when I saw that our local big box stores had Back-to-School... READ MORE

Stockpiling vs. Hoarding
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Monday, June 28, 2010
I am a minimalist by nature, so finding groceries on sale, while exciting, doesn’t normally compel me to stock up. Why do I need five bottles of ketchup, even if it’s a really good deal? One or two will do the trick.
Lately, however, I’ve been on a couponing kick. Now that I’m keeping track of grocery store prices, I find myself thinking more about getting the items we use at the best price possible.... READ MORE
Sleepwear Options for Nursing Moms
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, June 04, 2010
Hey ladies,
I’m hoping you can help me out today. I need to buy new nursing pajamas before the wee one arrives in September. There are so many lovely options available but I’ve found it can be hard to choose nursing pajamas from a picture alone (and unfortunately, there aren’t many options available in the stores in my area).
Here is what I’m hoping to find:
—pajamas that are modest enough to be... READ MORE
