The image to the left really depicts my feelings about Valentine’s Day. However, it’s the visual that is used to describe a ‘bug’, discovered earlier this week, that affected most websites. The simplest thing to say is: change your passwords. This particular ‘bug’ allowed hackers to get user names and passwords and no one […]
If you didn’t score Easter outfits at the big consignment sales, there are still plenty of options for cute kid’s Easter clothing around Birmingham. This precious boy set was $17.99 at Kidz Closet in Vestavia. That is a boutique look at a discount store price! Tricia’s Baby Station is in the Publix shopping plaza next […]
The ads heralding the new JCPenney pricing strategy (everyday value) and return policy (anytime, anywhere – can it be?) have had me excited to see what this veritable retailer could have in store. The ads are so clean, bright, and optimistic, like a mash-up of Target and Ikea. Can this be the same place? Well, […]
Yoga – hotel – hospital "shoes" Check out this indoor footwear by Nufoot. They’re not socks and they’re not shoes, but they are something in between. These are the compromise for folks who don’t want to go barefoot but don’t want to shuffle around in socks, either. Think about all the places you could use […]

No list of wardrobe must-haves is complete without a basic white blouse, perhaps even several. (With one linear foot of closet space for white shirts of all sorts, I can vouch that it’s all about the collar/neckline and cuffs.) With a suit, a white blouse is a no-brainer, but it’s just as versatile for slacks, skirts, jeans and sweaters. Occasionally you […]
Does anyone else out there wonder why a home made salad never tastes quite as good as one at a restaurant? It’s not like there’s a secret, since every ingredient is in plain sight. Is the difference in the dressing? the croutons? a chilled plate for serving? I can give up trying now that Super […]
If you were riding a Big Apple Tour Bus this Christmas, chances are you’d be stopping off at Dylan’s Candy Bar and the Museum of Modern Art to pick up some gifts for home. Unfortunately, you’re riding a minivan down Hwy 280 looking for stocking stuffers, but that’s no reason not to have a tiny […]
Aside from the Blue Form (the immunization record required for children enrolling in school, summer camp, day care, you name it), the other big hassle for moms is the pet immunization record. You know about this because it’s required before you board or groom your pet, and it always seems to expire just before you are […]
