The night before the Iron Girl, I didn’t sleep well. Not that I usually sleep well, but this time, my lack of sleep could be blamed on my own problems, my nerves, rather than the teething toddler in my bed. It was silly to lose sleep over something [...]

“E.L. Doctorow said once said that ‘Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.’ You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have [...]

A few weeks ago, I ran off to Miami. I’d never been to Florida and my husband and I used Jetsetter.com to find a sweet deal on a beach-front, spacious and modern hotel room. Jetsetter offers substantial sales on “Jetsetter-approved” hotels around the world, but the sales only last a few days so you [...]
There are too many words in this post to call it “wordless.” I am sorry. You only have to read the bold words if you want I love looking at a baby’s photo next to the mom’s and dad’s baby photos. And then observing, who does this baby look like? She has mom’s smile, her [...]

Between sleep deprivation and endless dirty diapers, you’d be surprised at how [...]

They really don’t. I’ve visited the romantic country of France several times in my 24 years and I once nannied for a French family in a picturesque town at the foot of the French alps, complete with horses, green pastures and dirt roads.
While living with this family, I was treated like one of their [...]

If you go to Carla Bruni’s website, the first thing you will notice after the guitar and the butterflies is that she offers her site in five languages: français, english, deutsche, español and italiano. Pretty cool, if you ask me.
As I write this, I am listening to “Quelqu’un m’a dit” by Carla Bruni, aka [...]
A spa day. Everyone who loves to be pampered deserves one every once in a while, whether it is homemade in your bathtub or professional in a fancy facility.
Banya 5, a Russian spa in downtown Seattle, provides an experience that is affordable and truly luxurious, yet without breaking the bank. Entry is $35, [...]
