POM Wonderful Review...

I was thrilled when POM Wonderful offered to send me a sample case.  I was already a fan of this thick rich juice, but rarely buy it, in anything resembling bulk.  I knew that this would enable me to experiment with this pure pomegranate juice, in some recipes.  Regretfully, I only managed to develop one recipe, since the rest of the juice ended out in spritzers (of course the spritzers were good though). POM Wonderful is...

Wordless Wednesday 2/3...

Newly Born.  Here is my daughter while we were still in the hospital.  She was 3 or 4 days old, and was born with very good neck muscle control, and was already turning her head toward people in her vicinity.  I said my 9 months of morning sickness must have given her a workout in there. I can’t believe she will be three soon.  Time really...

Custom Clothing Embellished with Swarovski Crystal...

This is the Fancy Initial T-Shirt I mentioned. I was just looking over the selection at JustJen.com, an online custom clothing boutique.  They offer a wide selection of  sportswear, as well as,  aprons and lingerie.  Just Jen has a great bridal section, but since I’m already happily married, I focused on the little girls clothes.  I liked several of the designs, but was particularly fond of the Fancy Intitial...

The Worst Movies Ever : Small Talk Six...

I have been meaning to do the Small Talk Six, posts for some time, but never seem to get around to it.  This weekend the topic is the worst movies you have ever had the misfortune of watching.  It is harder to think of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, than the best, since most of the stinkers were promptly scrubbed from my memory banks.  Our minds like to protect us from memories like this.  Well here’s my...
