Weekend Wish List: JustFab
You should be fully aware by now of my shoe and boot addiction. I literally cannot help myself. There is just something about footwear that completely fascinates me and appeals to every aesthetic sense that I have. I love the shape of shoes, the design, the heels, the toes, the patterns, the fabrics. The crazier the shoe, the more I adore it. I could browse through shoe posts on Pinterest for hours on end and never tire of it. In fact, my Pinterest board, Shoe Envy, has over 3,000 shoe pins and I want them all. I wish I had a shoe room where I could simply showcase all the…

But now newspapers are obscure so this joke is probably meaningless to the younger generation! 2. The gross-factor answer: A skunk in a blender! Bah! Because these are the macabre things we thought were funny three decades ago! I know there were many other variations of this riddle, so my curiosity was piqued…

Moms’ Night Out
This past Saturday was our monthly night out for my Moms’ Club. We pick a place (either a restaurant or someone’s house), ditch the children with their fathers (or a grandparent or babysitter if dad is deployed), and get together for some much needed girl talk unhindered by kids! This month we chose Good Fellos, a cozy little brick oven pizza place in Sackets Harbor, New York. The atmosphere was warm, the food was good, and the company was even better. We ate, we laughed, we even cried a little…and then we headed home in sleepy stupors at the oh so late hour of 9:30 p.m.! It’s definitely a mom’s…
