Last week I asked all of you to geek out and share your very first cell phone as a way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the mobile phone. It was actually glam sugar's idea, so I have to give her a little shout out for initiating the idea, which ended up being a real exercise in jumbo gadgetry. I have to make a special note of verily's Motorola MicroTAC, which has all the best "first cell Read more
This week marked the 20th anniversary of the mobile phone and glam sugar had the fantastic idea that we should all share our first cell phone.

I know most people HATE running in the rain, but sometimes I prefer it to running on a sunny day. Take my Rock n Roll Half-Marathon (did I mention it was my first half-marathon EVER?!) that I ran last August. I Read more
We want to know what you are growing, cooking, eating, and sipping! Take this crepe breakfast I recently shared as an example. Every so often, my family gets together for a feast of North African crepes topped with fresh fruit, sliced almonds, and honey (optional: leftover Easter candy). It's delicious and one of my favorite traditions. Share your own great photos of your food traditions and Read more

The first step to taking care of yourself and de-stressing is to make sure that your environment is in order. Seeing your house full of clutter can affect your mood negatively and make your personal space seem like a place you want to escape from, rather than something to look forward to coming home to. Organize a "throwing out" day every month to make sure that you don't have clutter building Read more
