Aloha from Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii
When I got the invite to come and cover the opening of the new section of the Aulani Resort in Hawaii, I knew I couldn’t come without my kids. I had covered the opening of Aulani (see the coverage here) and PROMISED my kids I wouldn’t come again without them. I kept my promise. The […]
Abercrombie & Fitch sells ‘push-up bras’ made for eight-year-olds
One of America's largest retailers, Abercrombie & Fitch, has always lived on the seductive edge. Their titillating photos of tanned bare-chested hunks would cause even the most sexually sober person to stir…down there.

1. Lloyd Dobler in “Say Anything.” Lloyd, played by John Cusack, is graciously honest, quietly confident , and completely devoted to Diane.

Friday Five: Five men who have my permission to wear tank tops
In my opinion, aside from Speedos, the tank top is the most perilous of the all male garments. The donning of the tank top by a man should only be undertaken with the distinct permission from a women in their life–preferably not their mother–and I strongly urge any women to consult the list below when choosing what […]
“Wow, sign me up for that!” and other sarcastic remarks Ma could have made
Emily loves the “Little House on the Prairie,” books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. They are the intermediate reader versions, which are abbreviated with big colorful illustrations and simple text.
