You know what a huge fan I am of Project Runway, but if truth be told, it’s mostly because of Tim Gunn. His guiding presence has always been the ‘glue’ for me, as I’ve watched season after season of Michael Kors wannabes concept, create and execute their...
WOW! Today was the first day of my teenager’s senior year. As he pulled out of the driveway, I walked back into an early morning quiet house. Not unusual, in and of itself, but in the silence, the import of the day really hit me hard. Those who’ve traveled this path...
I’m the first to admit I wasn’t a great Girl Scout. The appeal of the whole camping-overnight-in-a-tent thing kind of escaped me, but there are a couple of things from those days that I still carry a torch for. Thin Mints AND S’mores! Now...
I had just walked in the door when the phone rang. I almost didn’t answer it, the exhaustion of my long day overwhelming the smallest activity. But thinking it might be important, I picked up the receiver. “Is this Kyle Branning who grew up in College Park,’ a woman...
Maybe it’s because my son is heading into this senior year of high school, but when a friend mentioned this song to me today, it really hit home. As parents, we do the best we can to raise our kids to be independent, responsible, caring people. We hope...

I really love to learn new things, and as I’ve been touring colleges with my rising senior son, I’ve thought more than once ‘Gee, wouldn’t it be fun to go back to school!’ Well, while I’m not about to enroll on campus full time again (been there and definitely done...
It was just about five years ago that my sweet husband rocked my world. Not in a good way, and DEFINITELY NOT his fault! A ‘routine’ now-that-you’re-over-50 colonoscopy revealed colon cancer. Not ifs, ands or … well, you get the picture. Major...
It’s no secret to those of you who know me. This year is a big birthday. You know. One of those with a zero at the end of it? Yes, I turned 60! (And thanks so much to those of you who tell me they thought it was the big 5-0!) LOL So I’ve decided to spend some...
