The Day a Lump Entered My Marriage – Part II

In Part I I told about the day I found a lump in my breast. Here’s what happened after: All Alone Nothing looked brighter the next morning. Wayne was a mess, and at first this freaked me out more.

Fashion Files: Virtual Paper Dolls and Pretty in Pink

VIRTUAL PAPER DOLLS My 3-year-old daughter is just getting interested in paper dolls. We were at a friend’s house the other day and she found a container filled with magnetic paper dolls and their magnetic wardrobe. She spent about an hour mixing and matching outfits and shoes and I seriously considered running to the store to buy her a magnetic paper doll collection of her very own. (We later decided it would be something to add to her Santa list.) If you have older daughters who are still interested in paper dolls you might want to check out a unique … Continue reading →

Baldwin Brother Wants You To Think Pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In a previous blog I listed ways you can get involved in the fight to conquer this insidious disease. One way is to purchase any number of unique items designed specifically to raise money for breast cancer research. Today, I’m giving you another way to help support the cause and it involves a big name celebrity. Actor William “Billy” Baldwin is auctioning a day on the campaign trail with presidential hopeful John Edwards and a private falconry lesson with Robert Kennedy Jr. to raise funds to benefit The Carol M.
