It took me any number of days to figure out that PSL and the surrounding hysteria stands for Pumpkin Spice Latte. Yep, I'm that girl. I don't go to Starbucks. Except for meetings with clients. So somehow I missed whatever this lusciusness is that makes people lose their minds every Fall. But then I think… Continue reading PSL…Please Stop

Don’t Miss…
Some events are too good to miss; especially when you know the chicks behind them. Two coming up in The Dale need your attention. The first is HEAL (Happily Ever After League--remember the fave charity?) bringing back an old favorite. Heels for HEAL is slated for November 11 at The Camby. It benefits HEAL's latest… Continue reading Don’t Miss…
There’s Magic In The Kitchen…
We ask Magic Zip Code's Deana, "Whats the most important room when selling a house?" She smiles and nods, of course it's the kitchen. So how do we sell if our kitchens are neither newly remodeled nor fitted with quartz and marble countertops? Yep, that's right. It used to be granite. Now it's quartz. And… Continue reading There’s Magic In The Kitchen…
Criminal Boy…
Lucy and Ethel. Frick and Frack. Batman and Robin. What do these famous duos have in common? They got nothing on The Duchess and Sisterella when out we go on a Friday night. We can't be beat. Until the next day when age, and too much wine, chases us down, pounds upon our heads and… Continue reading Criminal Boy…
Gila Monster Obsession…
Obsession starts small and then tightens its grip, threatening to strangle resistance. The more we try to wriggle free, the greater the hold. Kinda like a gila monster. Baby Chicken spent her sixth year fueled by a search for the elusive lizard known as Gila. She, fascinated by the strange creature, spent time in the… Continue reading Gila Monster Obsession…
The Thumbs Have It…
Birthday celebrations with the chicks always have the potential to veer off course. Last night, the celebration is for Sweetest G. Amongst the bangles, jewelry, wine and cocktails, thumbs are the topic of conversation. Before this particular Friday Happy Hour, I'd never considered thumbs, mine or anyone else's. From now on, it'll be in the… Continue reading The Thumbs Have It…
Joy Is The Measure…
I had to write something for someone else's blog. The final question is, "What is your favorite quote?" Easy Peasey--mine has been the same since I was a girl; which was the first time I heard it. "The greatest measure of success is joy." I don't know who said it; just know I love it.… Continue reading Joy Is The Measure…
And So This Week…
Perhaps it was the eclipse. Perhaps it's just me. Thoughts of the weird circled about this week. I've never seen Game of Thrones. Thoughts are stirred when a dear friend returns from Scotland to show pics where they actually film and their historical importance. Over the next couple of days, I suffer FOMO, a rarity,… Continue reading And So This Week…
Total Eclipse of The Street Lights…
Arizona was not expected to put on a big show during yesterday's eclipse. And it didn't. I stood in a parking lot with friends taking turns trading glasses to catch a peek of the moon's pass in front of the sun. Perhaps because we spend the summer months living on the fiery orb's surface, we… Continue reading Total Eclipse of The Street Lights…
Magic Downsize…
Does the thought of downsizing bring you down? Your house is the place the kids grew up. All your stuff is here. You know all the neighbors. It's home. But think of what you could do with all that extra money. And less--or no--yard work, pool maintenance and tree trimming. And the cleaning, oh my.… Continue reading Magic Downsize…
