Because I am, apparently, borderline psychotic, I have decided to co-host an alternative to the recently-cancelled BlogHer Greensboro Reach Out Tour. I just got word that everything is a go, so now I am in a frenzy lining up speakers (and I already have some very cool ones on board!). Please read below...

Presidential Election Round-Up, or What Women Really Think About Sarah Palin

This presidential election blog post roundup has an even more focused theme: many women submitted (not a big surprise, since I am one and all). Some who submitted are guys, but most are women, and many of them are moms. And many had written posts about Sarah Palin. There is no getting around the fact...

Promenade des Anglais

I can’t really believe I used to live a couple blocks from the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. I can remember going there to people-watch, or to sit along the shore to munch a tasty baguette from the local market. Our daughter hated (actually, still hates) to sleep. We would take put her in her...

When Blog Kharma Has Rewards

I know I have said it before, but there is actually a good reason to be nice online. There is actually a totally and completely selfish reason (in that Where’s Earl? kind of way). It’s that whole blog kharma thing. I write nice things and help out other bloggers, and they do the same for...

Vintage Cookbooks

I’ve always had what can only be described as a slight illness (or perhaps compulsion) when it comes to cookbooks.
