New post on NJ Moms Blog... The Picky Kid Whisperer

The Picky Kid Whisperer

I noticed something last weekend while watching The Dog Whisperer;  people jump through hoops cooking food for dogs that looks better than what I serve around here.  And the dogs (much like my kid) aren't interested.

Unlike me these people have recourse and when wit's end is reached they call   Cesar Millan; The (Picky) Dog Whisperer.  After watching the pooch/family interaction for three, maybe four seconds he asks with a bemused smile, "You do know this is a dog, right?"

Retro Tuesday Goes Tumbling into the Fifties...

I love Retro Tuesday...

Every time I think I've exhausted my magazines
I find something new that interests me.

See this room?

Dove Chocolate and iVillage are giving a for-real ( Nope, not a twitter) party and you're invited...

Dove Chocolate, Gallo Wine, decadent treats, beauty and

And seriously... Does that not sound better than most things you've been to that were officially called a 'party'?
