If I had to choose between a chocolate dessert and a lemon dessert, lemon would win, hands down. The citrus flavor is refreshing, and I love the combination of tart and sweet.
How about you? Chocolate or lemon?
If you love all things lemon you will enjoy these four lemony desserts as well as a great tip on keeping lemon juice on hand.
Ever since Brenda announced her trip to Paris next month, Europe has been on my mind. I have been to Europe a half dozen times, and I wish I knew what I know now for that first trip overseas 28 years ago!
I love entertaining and having people in my home. There is nothing better than having friends and family gathered around my table. Do you feel the same?
Sometimes we need to shake it up a bit and go beyond a typical dinner party or casual supper.
Here are some of my favorite get togethers.
My inbox is filling up with emails from retailers regarding Fashion Week. It doesn’t matter if it’s in London, Paris or New York City. I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the wacky makeup and hairstyles. I don’t understand the reasoning behind the weird shoes and clothes that designers will not sell. Why not just show off their new line of what women will actually wear?
How did it get to be like this, and when did it go from glamorous to wacky? Continue Reading
Times have changed and for the mother of the bride. This is good news. There are so many wonderful options for dresses.
Thankfully the choices go beyond matronly and boring.

Each in their own right were grand.
My grandmother used to have an elegant boutique in a suburb of Boston. She had beautiful taste and an eye for gorgeous clothes. Her store was divided into three areas: Dresses, Casual Wear and a Baby/Children’s room with the most adorable clothes!

You could say I am a bit obsessed with natural light. Anytime I have been in the market for a new home, one of the first things on my checklist is a bright home with a lot of windows.
This past year there was a trend for younger women to dye their hair gray. Yes gray! It’s a trend I don’t get. But going gray, naturally, is a different story.
Gray hair today is so different than 50 years ago! A stylish cut can make all the difference in making gray hair look fresh, instead of old. It’s not for everyone, me included.

Growing up, I have such fond memories of my mother’s cooking. On Sundays we ate our big meal of the day around 2:00 PM which was after Church and when my Dad got home from work.
