My home is located at the bottom of a very hilly area. Each morning, I get up and take my dogs for a walk up and down a series steep inclines to reach the peak. The task is arduous and always leaves me out of breath. But it’s worth it since I know that once [...]

In my sophomore year of high school I met two girls who would soon become my best friends. At first glance, it was an unlikely friendship. One of them was a champion equestrienne who also made it to class president, and the other was a self described tomboy because she said she loved sports and [...]

If you read my blog enough, you will know how crazy I am about my two dogs, Baci and Bizou. They drive me crazy sometimes, and have more than once brought me to near bankruptcy with all the trips to the emergency hospital but there’s something priceless about loyalty and unconditional love.

“Why can’t you help out more with the housework?” I screamed at my husband early on Saturday. I must have shocked him at six in the morning but I was tired and grumpy and the dogs were whimpering for a walk and I wanted him, for once, to take care of it. “Where is this [...]

Dinner parties hosted by my family are a curious thing. I grew up with a Mom who prepared for them with the same enthusiasm that sportsmen would train for the Olympics. She would spend weeks planning and revising elaborate menus with no less than six or seven courses to be served. Because we had a [...]
