There's a little over a month left to see the Worn to Be Wild exhibit at the Chrysler Museum (click here for an online preview). And it really is a great one, so this is good news if you haven't seen it already. The collection showcases the history of the leather jacket, and its journey from practical aviator and motorcyclist garb to punk...
My friend Molly shared this awesome family recipe with me, a Thanksgiving favorite in her family. It's one of those ones I can't resist, that sound so kooky and off-the-wall that you know you want to try it. Red hots....and apples? Cooked together? But it works. I expected the apples to be overpowered or too sweet because of the candy, but they hold their...
It's been a few months since our last day in the life post. It just keeps sneaking up on me -- the months seem to be whirling by lately. I scheduled a dr.'s appt for six weeks from now and was shocked when the nurse gave me a card for January 2015! With Anne in school, we have finally dropped into something like...

A. ended up liking them so much that she's been bugging me for more ever since. Of course we love Lush around these parts but why buy when you can DIY? Bath fizzes seemed like something that...
There are a few requirements for a fall road trip in Virginia: beautiful foliage, mountains, and an interesting destination. This past weekend, we found all of these things at our visit to Montpelier, the home of President James Madison, so hooray! Montpelier is near Charlottesville, in the Piedmont, just over two and a half hours away from Hampton Roads. It gets overlooked in...
Last weekend, we met up with some DC friends in Richmond to spend the afternoon and found ourselves at one point in World of Mirth toy store in Carytown. If you've never been to/heard of World of Mirth before (I hadn't), prepare to be amazed: this place is like something out of a kids movie. The big store is crammed full of all...
