Girls, you all know how much I love my Second City , but I just became privy to a positively fabulous way to get fit in Chicago (Toronto, too!) that is so making me wish I were a full-timer in either of these seductive cities, because I would be a member...

Apparently my niece isn't the only one who feels formal wear (a la Ariel and her ilk) is always apropos! In the new USWeekly (the July 14 issue), the back page Fashion Police "extra" (such a glee-providing guilty pleasure) is resplendent...

Michael Stipe and Kate Pierson's harmonies aside, I don't know too many people who are truly happy when they are seriously shiny. With a weekend of outdoor-heat, moisture-magnifying activities ahead, and the added necessity of toting voluminous...

The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and if you don’t already have plans for a backyard bash or barbecue, I propose something a little different this year: A field trip. One of the ultimate American experiences, in my book, is a trip to Ellis...

Summer is finally here. For most that means the usual seasonal diversions – sprinklers, sun and sand. Dare I admit that for me, the best part about summer is what comes next? Fall! As in, fall fashion. Bags and shoes, especially. Well, the autumn couture...

So the fam and I just flew back from an uber-nice nuptial weekend, and contrary to any such affair heretofore since Miss Skye was born, I was totally relaxed -- it was a blast! Reason? Love my girl to no end and back, but I would be remiss to claim that...

Oh, Summer Sun. Giver of warmth. Lender of light. Endangerer of skin. Our family, fair of complexion, and unfortunately aquainted with skin cancers, takes no chances with our dermis. Even though we are religious in our application of sunscreen (SPF 50...

Although I was a mere babe in my mama’s arms in the 1970s, the era’s aesthetic ethos continues to entrance me. The decade’s far-out fashion, in particular, holds a playful appeal... and nothing epitomizes the ’70s more than the leisure suit. Of course...

Who among us hasn't gone daringly spelunking for a spare shred of paper in the depth's of Little Darling's bag after having mingled with a fellow mama at the playground and duly noted the feeling of friendship is mutual, for us and babies...

I’m not one for self-deprivation, but I know that drinking and pregnancy don’t mix. Aside from perhaps a single sip of Champagne to toast the bride and groom at a wedding (or that little bit of brandy in my Black Forest cake), I’m a total teetotaler while...

...deserves real rock. All the rock talk this week has me contemplating the variety of contexts and meanings of the word. (Did you read this week's Dish ?) That said, have you discovered this source of genuine rock artifacts ? No doubt your man has...

There’s nothing Ben loves more than to swing. Ever since he was a babe, the rocking motion always seems to settle and soothe him like nothing else can. This spring, at the park, he could care less about the slide, the monkey bars, the sandbox... any of...

I wasn't born yesterday, but this sounds like a great deal! Did you Mamas hear this one? The fine Daddies who founded BornFree bottles (those BPA-free beauties) are offering a year's supply of their baby bottles to babies born yesterday! So if...
