I know this album came out years ago and Volume Two is just around the corner from being released. I was listening to this delightful album today, and wanted to share it with all you wives and wives to be. It's such fun girlie music with hints of sweet country flavor in "Take it back" and 1950's doo wop in my favorite "I was made for you." If your wondering who "She" is, it's actress Zooey

Set your tivo's and don't forget to watch my segment on the show "What I Hate About Me," featured on the Style Network. My apologies for the late notice, I lost track of the date and forgot it aired Saturday at 9:00pm. I was thrilled when the producers asked me to be on the show as their Domestic Expert to teach the lovely Barika how to bake a cake. Below are a few photos from my day of filming

Well, another perfectly good evening was close to ruination. The cause? Inconsideration and a total lack of decorum by a few cretins masquerading as gentlemen. There is an appropriate quote from Fitzgerald in Tender is the Night, I believe, lamenting the lack of decorum in men but the passage escapes me so I’ll take this time to paraphrase (crudely). There are many things a man can and should do

Simply set the built-in timer to the desired time-out duration (usually one minute per year of the child's age) and sit the child on the pressure sensitive pad. If the child gets up before the end of the programmed time, an alarm sounds to alert the parent or caregiver, and the countdown will pause until the child sits back down.

First, put away the Absolut and Grey Goose. Cleaning with vodka is best done with the cheap stuff. Vodka works well for a number of everyday and more unusual cleaning applications, and there are more uses for vodka than you may expect. As a cleaning agent, vodka is a good alternative to more toxic cleaners, bringing the sparkle back to your diamonds and freshening your home.InstructionsThings

Future Wives to be.... This is a New Years resolution for you! Stop settling for what you DO NOT deserve. Especially when it comes to the men your dating. For example, if a man is only showing you 25 percent of the attention you deserve, do not waste a single thought on him until he gives you the 100 percent you are worth. Ladies it's time to raise your standards and hold confident in what you

In the show, the older men — Don Draper and his boss, Roger Sterling — are the best-dressed characters,

I've been eagerly awaiting the release of "The Young Victoria," as it came out in London over year ago.... and boy was it worth the wait! I have to say this film has been my favorite film of the year! It is the most romantic movie, Emily Blunt is flawless in her performance and Rupert Friend was a dream to stare at for 2 hours. It was so sweet in fact that I teared up through out the entire film.

Now Rule #15 Might not Apply to every WIFE. As a tradition, every year on Christmas Eve, my family drags me to a Catholic church. And what I've always looked forward to the most is that its another excuse to get all dolled up in my Sunday Best. But every year when I show up to mass, I'm always overly disappointed that no one and I mean no one dresses up for Church anymore. Everywhere I look women

For those of you who find gift certificates simple and easy. Instead of giving a gift certificate to a restaurant, Be creative with the theme and write it out on a plain white or festive plate. (like shown above for a restaurant in Paris) Don't forget to include the actual certificate. Happy Gift Giving Wives! - THE WIFE

The other day I was Babysitting family friend, 9 year old Lily, when she requested to go to MILK Cafe. While in MILK I ran into executive pastry chef, Dave Baker, who was telling us about an amazing new Ice Cream he Dreamt up. As soon as he said red velvet cake batter with cream cheese ice cream swirl my mouth started watering! And oh my God was it good! My heart has always belonged to Coldstone

Every couple years my all time favorite, Nancy Meyers writes and directs another brilliant and awe inspiring film. Each movie she has directed is on my list of favorites. Even though most of her leading characters are falling apart at the seams, she still knows how to perfect their whole world, down to their dream like home and wifely ambiance. Every film I watch, I always find my self saying..."

I've always liked the idea of making holiday photo cards with my family. (How are friends and family you never see supposed to know how you've grown and what you look like?) As a child My mom always refused to participate in this silly family tradition. Now as an adult with power I make my mom pose for lame pictures every year..Haha. But as I go through Holiday cards every year... My God.... Some

I was at a family friends house yesterday helping them celebrate Hanukkah, when I bit into some of the most delicious mouth watering Cinnamony Rugelach goodness! It tasted like a mini Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll but smaller and much much better. After helping myself to about 5, I begged the hostess for the information. Turns out they were shipped as a gift from Zabars in New York! So if any of you
