I hope you enjoy the baseball reference in the title. No, I’m not a fan. But I was raised by a fanatic. My father is one of the most devoted New York Yankees followers in history. His is a deep and undying love. Every year, for close to 30 years, our annual family reunion is [...]

Every year I encounter the same Christmas-decor dilema. It stems from my deep love for Christmas ornaments (and, let’s face it, all things shiny) combined with an affinity for clearance racks.

Christmas week continues! We’re going to make up for last week with a veritable flood of Christmas cheer. On the agenda for today: coffeecake and presents (that’s my kind of day!).
