Putting a Little Spice In Our On-The-Go Recip...
Published on Tuesday, August 16, 2011 by caryn While my husband and I have made it a priority to at least eat dinner together as a family, both of us have busy, traveling, and often conflicting work schedules that preclude us from eating most meals together. Between playdates, day trips, and appointments, we're often eating on the go. The amount of "fast food" we consume is very minimal so very often I'll prepare ... Read More » -

The Help
Published on Monday, August 15, 2011 by caryn It's not often that a movie moves you...speaks to you...evokes within you emotion that can't be put into words. Two months ago, I was treated to a sneak peak of the The Help, thanks to Disney and DreamWorks. I haven't seen a film that resonated with me the way this one did in a very long time. I was warned to bring tissues...a box of them. And while I definite... Read More » -

Published on Thursday, August 11, 2011 by caryn Sleep...Oh how I love sleep. I remember when sleeping a solid 8 or 9 hours was the norm. These days, my only hopes of getting a full night's sleep are those rare occasions when I travel. Except, when I travel, I'm sleeping alone...in a strange bed...without my squishy pillow. I know...I digressed. For the last 2 months (wow!), the hubby and I all four of us h... Read More » -

Opposites…
Published on Tuesday, August 9, 2011 by caryn I could sit and talk for hours to someone I've just met... He prefers to get to know someone slowly over time... I like to jam my schedule packed... He prefers to lounge around by the pool on his day off... I tend be high strung and lively... He's relaxed and laid back about life... I'm mostly logical and practical... He's artistic and creative.... Read More » -

Published on Monday, August 8, 2011 by caryn It goes without saying that investing in a child's education reaps innumerable long-term rewards. However, with nationwide budget cuts, it seems like parents are having to purchase more items. When you combine that with necessary uniforms, shoes, or other apparel, the costs can add up. This season, you don't have to break the bank shopping for much needed clothi... Read More » -
