All I’m saying is: please don’t bring your kids with you to Trader Joes. For anyone not living near the oasis that is Trader Joes, it is a grocery store chain that began in California and has been gradually expanding to urban areas with quirky foodstuff aimed (in my opinion ) at the childless and [...]

The current economic conditions are such that most people I know, me included are trying to put judicious financial practices into place.

It’s one of those rainy days in DC where traffic has been at a standstill since the darkest hours of the morning due to a fatal car accident somewhere far enough away that you almost can’t believe that it was still impacting traffic at 7am this morning. It’s chilly too- altogether the kind of day [...]

November 5th found my mom and I on a tour bus in St. Lucia on what would eventually be an 8 hour tour that included the Pitons, cerulean waters an active volcano and the botanical gardens ringed with banana trees. It was the perfect post-election venue At one point, we pulled off at a little [...]
