I love spring. Who doesn’t? The flowers are blossoming, the sun is shining, the weather is just right and we can finally put away our coats and gloves. What is it about the hum of a lawnmower that somehow motivates everyone to get active and be productive after hibernating all winter long? I have no idea, but I do know [...]
On most days, I find myself looking for sugar more often than I’d like to admit (every 10 minutes on average). Sometimes I justify those cravings with a cucumber or a cup of orange juice (by cucumber I mean tiny pickle, and by cup I mean a shot glass). Sometimes I don’t even bother myself with that arrangement. I’m [...]
Sometimes customers ask me for suggestions about what to write in a personal message for their gift recipient. My ‘go to’ wish is usually along the lines of ‘many more happy and healthy years’, because you can never go wrong with that. But does that make sense for someone who is turning 100 years old? [...]
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, chances are you were wearing a coat, hat and gloves if you went outside today. If you are enjoying the heated indoors at present, that's great! But you have to admit it’s a little chilly, right? I don’t mean to tease, but the residents of the Southern Hemisphere, including [...]
It was a full year ago when you were so inspired, that you made a compelling list of New Year’s resolutions. Which means- if my assumptions are right - it has been almost a full year of disappointment. Sorry to sound so negative, but who cannot relate? What is it about the New Year that [...]
Winter wonderland? Not for me - at least not growing up in Houston. In my youth, I can recall only two glorious days of snow falling in Houston. Those were amazing days when all the kids on the block spent the entire day outside playing in the snow, playing football, trying to sleigh down the [...]
With Thanksgiving Day fast approaching, it’s a perfect time to talk about gratitude (and to feel it, I daresay). Personally, I think expressing thanks is terribly underrated (unless you’ve read The Secret and you keep a gratitude journal).So what’s so important about showing appreciation? Well, for starters, it’s good for you! Yes, it’s scientifically proven [...]

I don’t exactly want to face reality these days. The morning chill tells me to stay in bed, keep the duvet on and not to move. And I don’t. Because if it’s dark and cold and I even hear the slightest bit of rain, I ain’t going nowhere.But there’s no stopping the seasons. What is [...]
There’s something about my grandparents’ house that always feels welcoming. Even though they keep the door locked and bolted, the moment Grandma lets me in, I am transported. There’s always something delicious simmering on the stove or a hot chocolate cake fresh out of the oven- not to mention a closet filled with all the goodies a kid [...]
