Several weeks ago, there was an event at a local store. A blogger I like was hosting it, I emailed all my real-life blogger friends (and friends who would not want to slit their throats attending a “blogger event” with bloggers) to round them up. Let’s go to the event, support our friend, get our…
As you know I recently asked all of you for advice on redoing our home office. It has been the sore thumb in our house, and we weren’t really sure where to start, especially when it came to choosing paint. Thanks to your suggestions and the ease of choosing paint and colors with Glidden® paint, we…
I wrote a post many moons ago, before Emerson was a twinkle in my eye, where I gave advice to new moms on what to wear. I got mega flack from it. Angry mothers emailed me, left comments, even stopped me on the street to tell me I have no idea what I was talking…

I was born in DC. When I was a toddler my parents moved to Prince George’s County, right outside the city. I grew up in PG County, went to college in PG County (go Terps!), moved away for a bit after school but came back about a decade ago and have chosen to raise my…
“Why does a catastrophe always follow you?” my husband asked, as he smoothed my hair and handed me a Kleenex. Yet again, Alison the Great made a hot mess of a situation. I don’t know why I do, and I wish I didn’t. Yesterday, my husband was hired to photograph a friends’ daughter’s birthday party….
