Stress Relief!!

Stress Relief!!

The start to 2014 has been…let’s see what’s the best word….I guess…exhausting!  I injured a muscle in my hip over two months ago.  The pain has been excruciating at times.  I have a new appreciation for those who live with constant pain.  I had five doctor appointments and while it is MUCH better, the pain…

Enjoying the Lights… and Darks… of Spring!

After the time changes each year, I begin to notice different light patterns on the walls…they always inspire and captivate me.

So, everyone, why do you think Coldwater Creek is on their way out…what did they do well…what did they do wrong??  Perhaps this discussion would help other retailers…. My heart does go out to all of those employees now in need…

L’eggs Eggs Return…Will You Crack One Open?

L’eggs Eggs Return…Will You Crack One Open?

Yes, after a brief hiatus the L’egg’s Eggs are back for a short time ….indicating perhaps the return of hosiery on American legs.  I confess I prefer to wear hose…especially until I get some color on these pasty legs! My kids loved to play with the eggs…I am certain mommy bloggers will enjoy their return…a…
