At a recent meeting of Mothers of Twins, the conversation drifted to cooking. Everyone’s bored, “It’s all the same - how can we make it new and different?” we asked one another.

When I went to work for a luxury linens company a few years ago, one of the first “Welcome to the Company” gifts I received were several bottles of Caldrea Linen spray.

When I was a kid, I had the house where every kid played all summer. We had all of the outdoor games that were popular in the 70s, tether-ball for example - where you try to nail someone in the head with a ball on a rope. And JARTS.

If you are like me, you joined various social networking websites when different groups of friends invited you.

When I was first diagnosed with Plantar’s Fasciitis in my feet a while back, I was perplexed at what I was supposed to do to fix it - short of surgery. I received painful injections of cortisone into my feet repeatedly but the agony in my feet never stayed away for long.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of UNO. It’s a standing joke in my family that I give my husband a deck of it at least every other year for Christmas. I’ve tried a few times to get the oldest boy to play but it always seems like it’s just more than he can handle, or [...]
