And …

Growing up, “food fight” didn’t necessarily mean gleeful spaghetti slinging or flour flinging, like in the movies. (Although there was the time my sister rolled in a plate of Jell-O. She was one. Of course we still tease her about it.) Sometimes a food fight just meant that we were arguing because we were hungry …
Our cat is not spoiled. I could just be in denial – after all, isn’t cat spoiling the stereotype? – but with four young kids I figure she earns her keep (and not just by keeping the mice out of the basement!). And I like to think that just like my kids, she gets some …

Dear Kirstie Alley, I got your press release about how you’re going back to your first diet love, Jenny Craig. (I really appreciated the personal touch of including the pictures of all your diet products. Apparently JC will now be carrying your line of diet drinks in their stores so, um, way to play it …
Tutus are kind of my thing – so much so that when I moved from Minnesota last year my gym buddies threw me a going away workout party where everyone wore tutus. (They even wrote “We’ll miss you tutu much!” on the mirrors in marker!) I have them in every color and I’ve worn them during …

Don’t get mad at me, the scientists said it. (Plus, you know how I love a good pun!) Eating animals has been one of the greatest existential problems of my life. Which either means I’ve had a pretty easy life or I’m prone to dramatics. Both? Seriously though, the decision whether or not to eat …
