Dear Halloween Candy, Life isn’t always black and white, but one thing is for sure… I must stop eating candy.  For one, there will be nothing left for the Trick or Treaters and two… for someone who claims to be on a diet, I am not sure Halloween Candy exactly fits into the nutritional menu! [...]

Dear IT Phone Technician, First of all, your name is not Steve.  Your accent makes that abundantly clear.  Secondly, please stop reading from a script and telling me you understand my concerns… Because clearly you don’t… I have repeated myself five times and you still don’t get it.  Thirdly, I realize why your company has [...]

Dear Halloween, I’m so over the orange and black thing you have going on! It’s so drab and boring.   You really should think about re-branding yourself.  I’d love to be of some assistance… I’m thinking orange and turquoise!  Its so much more chic and frankly, better for my coloring.  Think about it… get back [...]

Dear Lack of Money, I find you truly unfair!  Why can’t I buy myself a beaded necklace / scarf for $725 (insert stomping of foot)!!!  I am 100% mentally invested in a Roark accessory that I saw on Petal and Pine, and the lack of funds is really ticking me off.  I even have a [...]

Dear Inspiration, It’s so easy to be inspired when you have a fabulous muse.  Which is why, the minute I saw my friend Leah’s nursery, the ideas came flooding in!  From the color pallet to the garland… it all started with these sweet photos!  So thanks inspiration… you made it easy! P.S.  Want to see [...]

Dear Rain, You will not get the best of me this year!  I have come prepared… I will not fear wearing my favorite boots because you have come to visit.  I will not tense up when I hear thunder and hide my bag under my jacket.  Suede protector is my kryptonite… and your are going [...]

Dear Cleaning Lady, I am guessing by now, you must think I am an utterly lazy individual.  The dotted garland, that I hung so meticulously two weeks ago for Leah’s shower, is still hanging upon the chandelier and mouldings.  It is not laziness, I assure you, but sadness really.  How can I take down something [...]

There are two things that are ingrained in you when you grow up in the New York area.. 1.  You like dirty water hot dogs and 2.  You love the Yankees.  So, even though I now call Nashville my home… it just doesn’t seem like the Fall until I can watch my Yankees clinch another [...]

I just love a good party… so when the opportunity came up to throw my dear friend, Leah a baby shower… the planning began.  The pressure was on… Leah, like myself, appreciates all the “little” things, so I knew every last detail needed to be perfect.  Filled with kid inspired treats… gourmet peanut butter and [...]
