This is the most beautiful, sad and heart-warming video I’ve ever seen. I dare you to watch it without getting teary eyed. I don’t think it’s possible. The baby in this video seems to feel the sadness and pain that the song is portraying. It is pretty amazing.

I am a big fan of spas, and a particularly big fan of massages. If I could afford it, I would have a massage once a week. Sadly massages are one of those things that are more of a luxury than a necessity.

I had numerous handfuls of this amazing popcorn at a family friend’s house a few weeks ago. It was quite possibly the best caramel popcorn I’ve ever had. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the recipe was so simple.

Meatloaf is one of those dinners that I don’t make very often, but when I do, I remember how much I like it and wonder why I don’t make it all the time. The problem with meatloaf for me is that unless I make it on the weekends, I just don’t have enough time to make it. Baked potatoes are just as bad…

With Halloween fast approaching and fall in full swing, I’m trying to share my last few pumpkin recipes. This is one of my favorites. It is very easy and delicious. I love it with coffee, my mom loves it with tea, and my boys love it with milk. It pretty much goes with anything.

About half way through summer vacation every year I begin to crave the schedule and the normalcy that the school year brings. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the carefree days of summer I do. It’s just that I run out of things to do with all those footloose and fancy free days, and loo…

Everyone loves bears. From Yogi and Balloo, to Paddington and Fozzy, and the Carebears and Winnie the Pooh, we humans have a craving for bears that we can’t seem to satisfy. I’m not sure if it’s their fuzzy wuzzy hair, their cute round ears or their nubby little tails that make the…
