I'm on Cheryl Richardson's mailing list and I get something inspirational every week; sometimes it's a quote from a book, sometimes from Richardson's books, but something that when I take time to read it, makes me think. This week she wrote about Nora Ephron's death, but she also remembered an...

Here’s a “hundred best” list of Christmas movies that pretty much covers the territory. For those of us who are of a certain age, the fact that five of the “top eight” movies are pre-1950 ensures that the standbys that have become part of the season are not just included, but...

Nora Ephron's new book I REMEMBER NOTHING AND OTHER REFLECTIONS from Knopf, although sometimes hilarious, has that wanna-look-away feel of someone who's been through the wringer of divorce. Since I've blogged on divorce with children I'll include her commentary. She finds some very funny reasons...

Wondering what to get that "difficult" person in your life this holiday, I picked up a few ideas to help you with that special gift.
This cheery confection is like a delicious-looking go-kart. Coast down the road in style at a top speed of 7 m.p.h. in a Cupcake Car that comes in...

~Based on “A Few Words About Breasts” by Nora Ephron~
My best friend Kelly and I are able to laugh about it today, but I used to hate her because she had bigger boobs than I did. I was in the fifth grade, and it was a time when my friends and I devoured books about growing up by the author,...
