Sometimes we all deserve a treat and I recommend Snugburys ice cream for those hot summer days.

This summer I had a wonderful ‘Honeycomb’ flavoured one, which I can certainly recommend.
Recently Snugburys have introduced […]
I have to admit: I’m a sucker for Broadway musicals. Maybe it’s because I like songs with strong stories and equally strong melodies, or maybe it’s because I’m a bit of a drama queen. Possibly both. In any case, my husband an I have a long-standing tradition of seeing a play or musical once a […]

I don’t like to cook. I can cook, I just don’t like it. But this charming and funny movie made me want to cook. The ebullient Julie & Julia tells two stories; the story of Julia Child’s time in France and how she came to be a […]

My daughter missed her best friend’s fourth birthday party. She didn’t miss it because we had a scheduling conflict. She didn’t miss it because she was sick. She missed it because we took a last minute trip down to Cape Cod to escape the heat and neither my husband nor I checked our family wall […]

Jennifer Weiner can always be counted on for a good, hearty read. Something you can curl up with on a rainy Saturday or breeze through on a lounge chair poolside. Her latest novel, Best Friends Forever released July 14, 2009, doesn’t disappoint.
Our heroine is Addie Downs, an overweight, socially awkward young […]
They say life’s too short to spend it drinking cheap wine but let’s face it – with this dreadful recession we’re all plodding through, fine wine is often relegated to lower on the list of must-haves. Sad, but true. Which is why I feel compelled… no, obligated to tell you about a lovely wine that […]
