I’m not all that big on Halloween myself, but my daughter loves the idea. I have let her know why I do not like it. I’ve told her about the background, history, and modern connotations of the day. I told her she can make up her own mind about how she wants to celebrate.

I am looking for some great tips on how to organize papers.
I actually have tidy files and a filing cabinet right next to my desk. I have a plastic tub for the papers that come home from school for my daughter. My problem is not actual organizational structures. It is the daily influx of papers […]

When I shop at Publix, there is usually someone at the front of the store preparing one of their Aprons recipes. Most of what they make does not interest me, but a couple of weeks ago they were making Cheese Crusted Tilapia and Creamy Corn Grits. My daughter wanted to stop for a taste and […]

The cool weather is a little late in coming around this year. Usually, by October the humidity has lifted and the nights begin to be very cool. Some days are even chilly enough in the morning to merit a sweater. Right now, it still feels like summer. I have all faith that by around the […]

I just saw a funny little “news” bit. Apparently, Chelsea Clinton hates being called “pretty” and finds positive compliments about her looks “embarrassing”.
The article then goes on to reference the fact that Chelsea has been named one of People’s Most Intriguing, one of Manhattan File’s 100 Most Eligible New York Bachelorettes, and one of Tattler’s […]

The latest “Well, duh” headline of the week is the one I just saw on CNN’s website.
Are creativity and mood disorders linked?
It’s heart-warming that psychology researchers want to put funding into figuring out if certain patterns of creativity go hand-in-hand with conditions like bipolar disorder and depression. There have, in fact, been over 20 such […]
