My second Influenster box…. was really for Hampton. He was already familiar with Dove’s Men+Care bar soap and excited to try another scent. It’s not drying and does the job. The body wash he did try, as requested, even though he prefers bar soap. He found the scent to be much more cloying than the

Yesterday was a beautiful Sunday. I had a voice lesson right after my church gig and got home just as Hampton did from work. We Netflixed and chilled with a late Tuscan lunch and then a clean-the-fridge panzanella with broiled sole. So adult. All that had to happen was my husband walking the dogs while

Hampton hates buying presents, which is why we always take a trip for our anniversary. Since we celebrated his 40th in Miami in February, we went slightly more low-key and headed up to the mountains of North Carolina to celebrate #4 in one of our favorite places: Asheville. After getting stuck in terrible traffic (which

I had a headache most of yesterday — a skip out of work early, don’t go to aerial yoga because your skull might explode in inversions, slug on the couch while Hampton cooks and serves, go to bed super early with double sleeping pills headache. Double sleeping pills that refused to kick in. So when

Pack 493 is down four paws. It’s been 39 hours since we got the worst news of our lives, and I’m still vacillating between numbing shock and utter devastation. I’ll write more eventually, but, for now, here is my original eulogy to share with her many Facebook fans. — She was a good girl. A

Despite being December 30, this is not a New Year’s Resolution post. I decided this fall that I needed a theatre break. Even though I was doing the most delightful show, all I wanted to do cook and clean and exercise and snuggle the corgimutts. ….and if you had told any version of Ann pre-2012

First of all: NOT MINE. Now that we have that out of the way…. I’ve been meaning for months to write about An Uncommon Family. Stephen and I met doing La Cage at Theatre Alliance, and a few months later were both in their White Christmas. A few months after that, I asked him to
