Christie’s Fountain of Youth
Christie Brinkley is once again splashed across another tabloid with the all too familiar headline touting how she looks half her age or promising to give us her anti-aging “secrets.” As a middle-aged woman myself, my first reaction is, “Thanks, but no.” It’s just disconcerting to me to see a woman of 62 with long golden tresses, styled much the same as it was 30 … Continue reading Christie’s Fountain of Youth
The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done
The holidays are here again, and I must admit they always arrive quicker than I had hoped. These used to be the best of times. I couldn’t wait to listen to my favorite Christmas songs, but now I am full of dread and the guilt that comes along with it. I’m a single working mother of two wonderful toddlers, and about 10 months out of … Continue reading The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done

Throwing the perfect theme party can be magical and no one oozes party talent like Ailis Roach. In fact, I am so impressed with her imaginative and unique work, I wanted to drill down into what makes her themed parties so colossal. Artists and psychologist alike know that environment can profoundly affect our mood and can even inspire and awe us, so with the party … Continue reading How to Nail the Perfect Theme Party
Monumental Fail
Experience tells us that you can’t reason with madness—or trolls—yet this is exactly what the alt-right is doing with developmentally arrested rioters, purple-haired dissidents, Hollywood stars, and Hollywood has-beens, all of whom are refusing to recognize that their candidate lost the presidential election. They are in adolescent meltdown and we must regroup if we are to survive feeling so humiliated by the miscreants and millennials … Continue reading Monumental Fail

The Sunday Blues
Sundays take up their own time and space in a way that a Tuesday never will. Stored inside sepia-toned images, they conjure pancakes and syrup, a long leisurely read of the Times or the Post, the smell of coffee and bacon wafting from the kitchen. The face of my grandmother and of my mother when she was young. I enter into a hypnotic stage of … Continue reading The Sunday Blues
It’s a Coup!
The announcement on Friday by FBI Director Comey that the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails has been reopened is a smoke signal that the inside coup against the Clintons has begun, and the rats are scrambling to jump ship before they drown. As part of the FBI investigation into Huma Abedin’s estranged husband Anthony Weiner’s sexual misconduct, investigators purportedly found emails between Clinton and Abedin … Continue reading It’s a Coup!
Fat Worship Leaders Need Not Apply
If you didn’t believe before that the church has been taken over, look no further than New Creation Church in Hillsboro, Oregon, which has made the news for their infamous Worship Team Guidelines banning obese would-be worship leaders and reported on by the Christian Post. The Guidelines state: “We want the worship team to look the best they can! Remember that the way we look … Continue reading Fat Worship Leaders Need Not Apply
Is Danny Williams Bill Clinton’s Son?
I recently watched an interview featuring Danny Williams, the young man who claims to be the illegitimate son of Bill Clinton, in a video aired on Infowars.com. While the validity of Williams’ claim can’t be ascertained without a DNA test, which Williams claims did not happen despite false reports to the contrary, I couldn’t help but be touched by this young man. Everyone wants to … Continue reading Is Danny Williams Bill Clinton’s Son?
State Attacks Church Rights
Freedom of religion is like catnip to totalitarians—they simply can’t leave it alone. The nasty progressives in Massachusetts don’t like the freedom afforded centers of worship so they’ve gone around the church and tampered with state law. Massachusetts has always been a bipolar state. After all, it’s Boston that revolted against the government in the infamous Boston Tea Party while burning all the “witches” in … Continue reading State Attacks Church Rights
