Root Bound
Plants are a great way to jazz up any room. They add life, fresh air and cheer to any décor. While recently brainstorming on how to redecorate my home office (a/k/a The Mother Ship), I knew one thing for sure – I wanted lots of plants. Succulents are my greens of choice. They’re beautiful,…

It’s About Time
I had no idea there would be so much high adventure, tests of human endurance, drama and suspense…and that was before we even got on the plane.

A few Decembers ago, I was being really very Scroogie and not at all in the mood for the holidays. Ever since that time, I’ve practically made it my business to immerse myself in holiday cheer (and I don’t mean by diving into a punch bowl). No, what I’ve discovered is that nostalgia is the…

The holidays seem to be sweeter when there are children in the family. My kids are practically adults now, but it wasn’t that long ago when they were still daydreaming about flying reindeer or bunnies bearing chocolates.

Sustenance
Food. Nourishment. Grub. Whatever you want to call that stuff you stuff into your mouth, its intended purpose is to support life. I remember watching a TED Talk comparing the human brain to other animals. Our brains are more evolved because we cook our food. Could it really be that simple? It is, and here’s…

Madame Fortuna Knows All
UPDATE: This post has been updated with a bonus Halloween recipe from my YouTube channel: GRAVEYARD LASAGNA Some people put more effort into decorating for Halloween than Radio City Music Hall puts into their Christmas Spectacular.

Empty Nest Syndrome
Unlike most parents, I used to dread the end of summer when it was time for the kids to go back to school. I’m all about the loosey-goosey lazy days of unscheduled relaxation and the freedom to be spontaneous. For me, sending them back to school meant setting the alarm clock, making lunches, pick-ups and…

Happy Birthday to SNORK!
SNORK turns 2 today! Many thanks to all of my subscribers and supporters. It’s been two years since SNORK’s painless delivery, and it’s been a labor of love ever since. I recently had the chance to share some thoughts about reading, writing and SNORKing in an interview with Prose. You can read it by clicking HERE. As…
