My hubby always says there’s only one person you can control and that’s yourself. With all the crazy misinformation about the coronavirus and everyone guessing what’s going to happen and what are we going to do, a Type A person like me needs to feel some control. I’m not running out and buying toilet paper…
Scrufah says…Challenge Accepted!
“I love a challenge” It’s the rallying cry behind a lot of crappy decisions. Let’s take the morally questionable and sexually philanthropic decade that I like to refer to as “My 20s”. There were certainly more than a few challenges during that time of my life but most of my friends and I took it…
What a doll!
Not since Chucky (or in our feature image, the Bride of Chucky @barbiechulanyc) has there been such Buzz about a doll who is no longer where you left him last. I’m of course talking about the Elf on the Shelf…often imitated, never duplicated. He’s the little Elf doll that you secretly move around the house…

Summer Camp…it’s not just for kids anymore
When I used to think of Mount Snow in Vermont I pictured skiing, snowboarding and hot cocoa. I still love all of those things, but I think my family and I found something we love even more about Mount Snow…Family Camp, where their motto is unplug and reconnect. For us, family camp combined the fun…
