WOAW’s First Poll- Downton Abbey
I just finished Season One of Downton Abbey on Netflix and I need your help, Blogtropolis. As much as I love our friends on the other side of the Atlantic–as much as I love hats and wish they were in style here in the States–as much as I love London, and Will and Kate, and Continue reading

Odd and Ends
New Jersey gets a bad rap, but there are lots of great things about living here. I hope to dedicate a post to New Jersey eventually. For now, know that one great thing about The Garden State is its proximity to New York City. These pictures were taken from the waiting room of a doctor’s Continue reading

Week in Review
Highlights and lowlights from my week: First, the lowlights: * It snowed. About five inches in the Trenton, New Jersey area. This meant that I had to dig out snow pants, waterproof gloves, hats, scarves, boots (which I did not have for my older son, so had to improvise). This also meant I had to Continue reading

I revel in watching Continue reading

M. and I were Continue reading

Academy Awards Movie Madness- Beasts of the Southern Wild
“Beasts of the Who?” I thought, as I listened to the Best Picture Nominees being announced on the radio. Maybe it’s a documentary about animals? During a recent day at home, I noticed that Beasts was the only Best Picture nominee On Demand, so I figured what the heck? I’ll give it a try. I Continue reading
