‘Tis the season for women’s magazines and ads galore to demand our best “bikini shape” through painful butt-kicking training regimens and fad diets. Most claim that pounds will fly off in record time before summer, from P90X (which many friends swear by), to Nutrisystem, to the Ice Cube Diet. The latter doesn’t entail frantically [...] 
We all heard the rumors, and we all saw the final episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien with a tiny tear in our eyes. Let’s face it: Conan O’Brien is a national treasure. You are never unhappy to hear about him, he never ceases to make us laugh even on our worst day, [...] 
I know that I’ve been mentioning spring like crazy in all of my posts, but I cannot get enough of the flowers and the sunshine and the prospect of getting a bit of color to my pale complexion and the fact that I don’t have to brace myself before opening the door to head [...] 
If you’re anything like me, you have approximately a gazillion friends that are about to have a baby, recently had a baby, are planning another baby, are adopting a baby, etc. Most of these friends have probably registered for what they believe to be their ultimate necessities at a store like Babies R Us [...]

I recently got a chance to ask Kelley a few questions about her collections and her upcoming show at Sotheby’s April [...] 
As a mom of a daughter who will be celebrating her first Easter this year, I should, in the interest of full disclosure, mention that I have never been to any egg hunts in the Boston area to-date, and so I don’t know which hunt is “the” hunt at which to see and be [...] 
Garfield and Friends. Image courtesy Jim Davis. Ah, Sunday morning. A time when you attempt to make brunch. A time where we realize we have one more day in our weekend and decide to either stay in our pajamas and watch Oprah: 25th Season Behind the Scenes marathons all day or actually make [...] 
This past Saturday, the 2011 Swan Boat season officially began and I got that fuzzy pride feeling again about being happy to call Boston “home”. There’s something so small town and genuine about Swan Boat passengers waving to people on the bridge as they are passing by that it always makes me smile, often while I’m simultaneously caught wondering how the young Swan Boat operators have enough muscle to pedal all those people around on one boat countless times per shift?
