by Bethany Maines My husband, a confirmed football enthusiast since birth, prefers to watch the Super Bowl with, at most, a select few of fellow football enthusiasts who won’t talk over the game and a large dish of BBQ pork with spicy-hot Chinese mustard and toasted sesame seeds. My preferred way of watching the Super […]
I would never tackle writing how to keep yourself looking young though I do think there are some things that help. One that really doesn’t help are facelifts. Egad, some of the beautiful movie stars have ruined their faces and no longer even resemble themselves in their attempts to look young. But that’s a whole […]
By Evelyn David I’m blessed with the smartest, prettiest, sweetest granddaughter on earth (I add here a poo, poo to ward off any evil eyes, per the original Evelyn), as well as the invitation for any other Grandma to question my definitive statement. But what I’ve also discovered is how much I’ve learned from this […]

By Laura Bradford Ever have one of those Ruh-Roh moments ala The Jetsons? Well, I just had one when I realized it was Friday and I was up for a post here with my fellow Stiletto babes. In my defense, I truly had no idea it was even Friday, let alone the fourth Friday. You see, my […]
And You Should Pass the Chocolate By Bethany Maines The ads for that certain holiday have started already. You know the pink, frilly, and frequently scantily clad ads I’m referring to. They also come in diamond and/or chocolate covered versions, but they all say pretty much the same thing: buy, buy, buy and if you […]
by: Joelle Charbonneau I have a sick tot. Friday he was fine. Friday night he coughed himself awake until morning. By Saturday at noon he had a 102.0 temperature. Now, I’m not a worrier by nature. I know fevers can run high for kids. (Heck, I still spike a high temp when I get the […]
