It's Memorial Day weekend and I'm ready to grill. Full confession, I live in an apartment building so to grill, we have to go to our in-laws. But I have a long history of grill humility. When my husband and I were first engaged, we lived in a tiny house...

I used to be so on top of my thank you notes. Now, I've fallen way, way behind. Still, I think it's never too late to send a thank you note. ... One of my gal pals disagrees. She says, "After a year, what's the point?" And it is true, I've occasionally...

Laughter has been shown to reduce stress, boost your immune system and increase a person's tolerance for pain. And believe me after the day I had yesterday, I could really use a good chuckle. Which is why I am so tickled at this line of beauty products...

Do you ever watch the show Clean House with Niecy Nash? Well, I have a confession to make. If I don't get it together, Niecy's going to come after all of my mayhem and foolishness. ... The ironic thing is that while the home of a frazzled parent can often...

The first time I made lobster pot pie, I was flying by the seat of my pants. It was Sunday afternoon, we were expecting six for dinner and I wanted to make something new. I couldn't shake the memory of summers spent in Sag Harbor and how I loved bringing...

This Mother's Day, I gave just about every woman on my list a copy of the new Amazon best-seller, Style Statement: Live By Your Own Design. It's a book about fashion, home, how we live style. But most of all, it's a book about authenticity: how we can...
