Joe Knows Best
June 3, 2010
The other day, I was wandering the aisles of Trader Joes. While my 4 year old touched every single protein bar on the shelves, I browsed the shelves behind me.

Going “Bare” At the Mall
May 17, 2010
My Sephora Experience After spending the day roaming the mall with my teenage daughter, I had come to that place we mommies call "I'm done".
