There is absolutely no doubt – I love me some Disney World. Some of my most magical moments and favorite memories were made in Disney parks. My cousin Margaret is in Walt Disney World right now, and the entire first day of her vacation has been a stressful, tear-filled disaster. Through no fault of Disney’s,…

Jim and I flew to Vegas one year, with snow on the ground here in Philadelphia. We arrived at the airport in Las Vegas only to find our bags were snow delayed somewhere in Chicago. I was wearing stirrup pants (don’t judge – they were still in fashion) and a butt covering, thick wool sweater.…

One of my most favorite shows is Mo Rocca’s “My Grandmother’s Ravioli”. If you haven’t seen the show, Mo visits other people’s grandmothers, where they share stories, recipes, and delicious food.

Some of you reading might think I finally drank my husband’s Kool-Aid, have turned against police departments all over the world, and am rising up in defense of the “innocent” against the “man”.
