A little delayed, but my red carpet review of the Oscars is up! #redcarpetfashion #oscars2025

My two teenage kids just spent 30 minutes discussing their favorite hip hop artists complete with sound clips and now my ears and my heart are both melting and if that isn't parenting in a nutshell I don't know what is.

Red carpet review: The SAG Awards. I want Fran Drescher's suit and Marisa Boda's gown.

BAFTAs red carpet review: How the designs move from the runway (or the drawing board) to the red carpet.

My daughter bought this stuffed Remy (from Ratatouille) for a friend's birthday, but someone else has claimed it as his own.

My family spent a long weekend in NYC last weekend. Here's what we did. #nycweekend #nyctraveltips

I apparently missed National Love Your Pet Day yesterday, so as penance I am posting a rare photo of both cats together. Nothing bonds warring brothers like freshly folded laundry. #nationalloveyourpetday

The Critics Choice Awards red carpet last night featured some nice looks. And also some weird looks. #cca2025redcarpet #criticschoiceredcarpet

It's harder to find cute spring clothes for younger boys, but it can be done if you look hard enough.

Spring clothes for elementary age girls! There's some very cute stuff out there.

Spring fashions that teen boys will wear. If you hold their basketball shorts hostage.

Spring fashions for teen girls that they'll actually wear - and that their parents will let them wear.

My absurdly thorough summary and review of the Wicked movie. #wickedmovie

I know the "20-book challenge" is over and done with, but since I've loved and been affected by so many more than 20 books in my lifetime, every now and then I'm going to post another one. Book #21

I just put on the new sweater and heeled boots that my husband got me for Christmas and I am suddenly tall and thin and this is my personal Christmas miracle for the year.

It occurs to me, as I am prepping my lesson for this morning, that I have been teaching Sunday School for 40 years. FORTY YEARS. And still my kids come up with questions I haven't heard before. Which speaks to the nature of both children and God.

This is why I hang my bird feeders so high off the ground. #hoover

I just listened to John Denver sing "Please, Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas," so now it's REALLY the Christmas season. #nextupMuppets12days
