I’m a huge success story when it comes to back pain. Through my mid- to late-20s I had excruciating back pain that seemed to have no end. The culprit? Well, it depends who you ask. When I got off a roller coaster I had terrible pain and I never recovered. The doctor said the roller […]
The Blue Marble Blog by way of Mother Jones reported on an interesting study which seems to say small children believe McDonald’s food tastes better. The researcher, Tom Robinson of Stanford University states, a child’s sense of taste has been “physically altered by the branding.”
My kids love McDonald’s, as I’m sure yours do. I loved McDonald’s as […]
Happy Birthday to Me. Happy Birthday to Me. Happy Birthday to Meeeee. Happy Birthday to Me.
I’m 34-years-old today. I loved turning 30 because I finally felt legitimate and grown up. My decisions felt more grounded and based on experience.
All year long I’ve been listening to women in their 50s, Oprah Winfrey, Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, […]
My husband and I are doing Bob Greene’s The Best Life Diet. Of course, I saw it on Oprah. Whatever you think about Oprah, and hopefully you love and adore her as I do, she is definitely the most public dieter on the planet. This qualifies her as a diet expert in my opinion and I’m […]
I was sitting in a cross-legged prayer pose in my yoga class one morning when I was accosted with an unmistakable smell of poop. That’s right, there was invisible baby shit on my hands.
As I wiped the sweat off my brow I realized perhaps my acne issue was a busyness issue. The fact is that I am rushing […]
I checked this book out of the library because I love its catchy title: How to Survive on $50,000 to $150,000 a Year by Stanley J. Cohen & Robert Wool, copyright 1984.
Here are some of my favorite excerpts:
Ten, fifteen years ago, when you looked ahead you thought that if you ever earned $60,000 say, or $90,000 with […]

Michelle Dugger, 40, has been pregnant for 126 months — or 10.5 years — of her life and just gave birth to her 17th natural child.
I’ve watched the Michelle and Jim Bob Dugger family on the TLC Channel for a few years now, I think since they aired: 15 Children and 1 on the Way, or […]
I have a confession. Though Dave Ramsey fanatic and groupie I am, I have in my hands a credit card that I accepted. In In Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny Suze Orman recommended that I get one in my own name. I did.
Don’t tell my Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University […]
Star Jones, formerly of The View, tells all in the first person on Glamour.com. It’s a raw look at the emotional after-effects of gastric bypass surgery, and why she was trying to keep it private while on The View. She’s lost 160 pounds in three years.
Four years later, I have been successful in maintaining a healthy weight […]
Have you checked out the new VH1 reality show Scott Baio is 45 . . . and Single?
Okay, if you’re married and you have a fight with your husband and you think, Maybe I could do better, watch this show to be reminded about the quality of man who is still out there. The bad kind. The kind […]

Bravo Barbara Walters on your selection for the new moderator of The View, Whoopi Goldberg. She fits all the criteria I had for a great moderator, funny, smart, ethnic, older and interesting.
Whoopi will provide a distinct perspective to The View, without being mean spirited, I think. She’ll provide the African American perspective, a liberal perspective and […]
