2014 MTV Video Music Awards: All About Blue
The MTV Video Music Awards were last night in Cali and my girl Taylor rocked the red carpet in this ’80s-inspired sparkly blue jumpsuit. Work it, girlfriend. Some liked it. Some didn’t. But the “haters gonna hate” and she’s just gonna “Shake It Off!” Katy Perry showed up with her rapper friend, Riff Raff, in [Read On]
Taylor Swift is gonna “Shake It Off!”
Man, I wish Taylor Swift was around when I was going through all my teen angst and insecurities in 1989. I would have rocked my side pony while I sang “Haters Gonna Hate!” into my hairbrush and danced around my tiny bedroom filled with oversized sweatshirts, acid wash jeans, and banana clips. Appropriately enough, Tay’s [Read On]
First Day of School ’14
And then just like that, (BOOM!), summer is over. I didn’t sleep well last night knowing I was waiting for that 5:30am alarm. Today was the first day of school! I have a first grader and a second grader. I have “number grade” kids now. That means they’re getting older. Or I’m getting older. Or [Read On]
Summer Lovin’…
had me a blast! Hi, there! I’ve been taking a blogging break this summer to spend time with my family and just chill. I needed it. Life gets crazy and I didn’t want to feel the pressure of anything, including writing. I love to document my fun times, but I decided to just live them [Read On]

One of the Disney experiences we were most excited about this year was Beast’s castle in the Magic Kingdom and eating at the popular Be Our Guest Restaurant.

Things to do in Washington, DC with Kids
I grew up in Gaithersburg, MD, which is a suburb of our Nation’s Capital. I always tell my kids how lucky I was to take school field trips to the Lincoln Memorial and the National Gallery of Art. At the time, I definitely took it all for granted. Now that I live in Florida, we [Read On]
How Pharrell Made Me “Happy”
I wrote this tweet on Sunday evening after watching the Oprah Prime interview with Pharrell on OWN. Pharrell blew me away with his honesty and sincerity when he talked about his journey from a young boy in the projects of Virginia Beach to his launch into super stardom after writing hit after hit for major [Read On]
Independence Day
Do you remember when we would ride our bikes in bare feet and come home when the street lights came on? I do and there was never any fear. It was pure freedom and independence. I loved it. I would run out the door and head to my best friend’s house across the street without [Read On]
John Mayer Documentary
Wow. I found this little gem on Facebook yesterday and I’ve already watched it TWICE. It’s over an hour long, so give yourself some extra time to cozy up on the couch with your laptop and a glass of wine. “Someday I’ll Fly” is a fan-made documentary that uses John’s past interviews, podcasts, Internet clips, [Read On]
