Spirit Sunday: What Seeds Are You Planting?
I do NOT have a green thumb. You know how the cashier just puts up the "Closed" sign right when it's your turn to cash out? Well, that's what kinda happened when green thumbs were being allotted in the "Natural Gifts" department, and I got to the cashier...
The 411: Weekly News Update
Happy happy Sunday! Hope everyone had a great week-end! Ours was quiet (as quiet as a week-end with two toddlers can be), mostly spent de-cluttering. And you wouldn't believe how much clutter a couple of people can accumulate in a few years. If your mess is causing...

Work It: Suit
Loving this streamlined dark blue suit from New York & Company. The color is original, the cut modern for a vibrant-looking suit that can be worn at work and after-hours! I'd pair this suit with an elegant shell like this silk charmeuse shell from Talbots, or this...
