I first went to Luang Prabang, Laos in 2004. I think I went twice, once in December 2004 and again in April 2005. Both times, Jojo was a teeny tiny baby.
Last weekend I went back, now as a mother of two rowdy boys, and I think I can chalk it up as one of the [...]

I used to be a “comfort trumps fashion” kind of person, but over the last 10 years of traveling and noticing that Europeans don’t wear sneakers when they aren’t exercizing, or Chinese construction workers wear sport coats, and women in Asia can ride a bicycle in high heels, I reevaluated my wardrobe.
Overtime, I too have [...]

Community is my favorite show on TV right now. Well, it might be a tie with Mad Men.
But Community is my favorite comedy. I already liked Joel McHale, and Community has Chevy Chase, whose character, Pierce, reminds me a lot of my Dad.
I think Community is the perfect balance of being current, poking fun at [...]

Some of you remember that in October I submitted a video application to become a shirt wearer at IWearYourShirt.com.
I know you remember because I keep getting the “did you get the job yet??” questions.
Besides my initial application, I made an David Adam Byrnes video, and an Angry Birds video in attempts to win the [...]

One day in the recent past, I was suddenly keenly aware that my entire wardrobe consisted of brown and blue clothing.
Since then I have made a conscious effort to diversify my wardrobe palette.
For example: FreshProduce Clothing makes fun, beach-inspired, comfortable, colorful and travel-friendly vacation-worthy clothes.
I got TONS of compliments when I was rocking [...]

I am an early childhood teacher and a mom of two preschoolers. I am always thinking of ways to nourish children in body and mind.
My conclusions have been shaped by a myriad of influences, from academic theories about development and education, to in-the-trenches mothering and teaching experiences.
My first and most vivid sink-or-swim parenting moment [...]

What did you do with your "extra hour" you gained with the FALL BACK from daylight savings time?
Technically I didn’t get an extra hour (the IRS took it) but I did take some time on Sunday to make a sweet video in lieu of rebuttal re: Sweet Distractions.
See, there is this song by David [...]
