      <image:title>Blog Posts - Pennsylvania Weather Is Its Own Circle of Hell - Third Weekend In October</image:title>
      <image:caption>This was a horrid day. The high was about 32 degrees, it was windy, and it snowed off and on. It was so cold that one of us would man the booth while the other hid between the rows of booths in the back under a blanket, out of the wind. We switched off every 30 minutes. When you do these shows, you’re not allowed to tear down your booth and leave unless the show sponsor announces they are shutting down. The sponsor of this show was a sadistic jacka**.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There was zero snow the next weekend because IT WAS 90 DEGREES. A nasty rainstorm blew through the day before, and the entire event area was buried in mud. (What you can’t see are the 12,000 shoppers clomping around in that mud.) Here I am trying to cool down in the only shady spot, which happened to be beside a stinky trash can. I’m wearing stupid-looking rubber boots because wet, muddy feet suck.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - A Slow Simmering Stew of Meh - This is my craft show/festival booth. We set it up at a different show every weekend from August through November. When we got really good, we could put it all up in 90 minutes and tear it down in about an hour. Bill uses the tarp on the roof now as a drop cloth when he paints, and I’ll tell you a secret: I feel wistful and sentimental when I see it. I miss the show days.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - A Slow Simmering Stew of Meh - My favorite festival was an authentic colonial festival. We had to wear authentic colonial clothes. My “authentic” colonial dress was a 1970s Gunny Sax prom dress I bought on eBay. I had a love/hate relationship with that dress. I loved that it was kind of cute in a colonial way, but damn, that thing was hot when the weather was warm, and the muddy fabric slapped around my legs when the ground was wet. I don’t know how those colonial women did it.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - A Slow Simmering Stew of Meh - This was my jewelry store when we were still in the fixing-it-up-before-we-opened phase. It was a tiny 100-year-old building that was a dentist’s office in the early 1900s and then a beauty shop in the 1940s to 1970s. After that, it was a bunch of other businesses until we came along.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - A Slow Simmering Stew of Meh - But I gave it all up when we moved to Florida. I don’t regret moving here, but I wish I hadn’t had to relinquish so much of my identity when we did. There is so much good here, but sometimes I’m still mourning the lifestyle I had in Pittsburgh, where I felt…what’s the word I’m looking for…successful. I need something new to focus on, but I haven’t yet figured out what it should be.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Thankful Moments: Thanksgiving At Disney World and Animal Kingdom Lodge - We didn’t get to spend Thanksgiving with the kids this year, but I still had so much to be thankful for, like spending the holiday at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Thankful Moments: Thanksgiving At Disney World and Animal Kingdom Lodge - Sitting on our balcony in the morning, watching giraffes and zebras meander through the man-made savanna brought me joy.

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Best Amazon Skincare Buys For Glowing, Age-Defying Skin</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some of Amazon’s best-selling skincare items are under $30, and they’re definitely worth trying. My personal favorite brand? Derma E. The reviews don’t lie — these products pack a punch, performing just as well as the big-name, pricey alternatives.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Best Amazon Skincare Buys For Glowing, Age-Defying Skin - Derma E Microdermabrasion Scrub.</image:title>
      <image:caption>If I had to choose, this is my all-time favorite skincare product. Once a week, I slather it on my face in the shower, gently massage it, and rinse. The result? Smooth, soft, glowing skin that feels amazing without breaking the bank.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Best Amazon Skincare Buys For Glowing, Age-Defying Skin - Derma E Anti-Wrinkle Cleanser.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For everyday cleansing, this is my top choice. It’s a fan favorite on Amazon with nearly 7,000 glowing reviews, and for good reason — people love how effortlessly it removes makeup, keeps skin clear, and moisturizes without leaving your face feeling dry. I started using it a few months ago, and I haven’t looked back since. My skin feels smoother, my glow is genuine, and my skin tone looks more even than ever. Seriously. This cleanser is that good.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Best Amazon Skincare Buys For Glowing, Age-Defying Skin - Derma E Gentle Enzyme Peel</image:title>
      <image:caption>If there’s ever been a miracle product for aging skin, this is it. I use it twice a week, right before I shower, gently massaging it over my face and neck and watching the dead skin slough off. Yes, it sounds a little gross, but trust me — the results are worth it! A few months in, and the difference is amazing: fine lines are softened, dark spots are fading, and those large pores along the sides of my nose? Gone. Honestly, if I could go back in time, I’d start using this stuff years ago!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Blueberry Muffins Are The Answer</image:title>
      <image:caption>They’re practically foolproof. Blueberry muffins are a one-bowl wonder — the kind of bake that’s almost impossible to mess up. Unless you completely botch a measurement, you’ll end up with soft, golden-brown little cakes bursting with juicy berries and just the right touch of vanilla sweetness.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Blueberry Muffins Are The Answer</image:title>
      <image:caption>The box mix isn’t bad. Home-baked is better, but sometimes it’s not a huge difference between them and the box version. If you’re short on time, there’s no shame in reaching for the mix — though if I’m going to the trouble of rinsing canned blueberries, I’d rather use the fresh ones and bask in the glory of “Oh, you made these?”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Blueberry Muffins Are The Answer</image:title>
      <image:caption>They aren’t fancy — and that’s the point. Soft, sweet, and dotted with juicy berries, they make an ordinary morning feel a little special. They’re the kind of classic comfort that never goes out of style — simple, satisfying, and just right warm from the oven with a pat of butter or a sprinkle of sugar. You don’t need anything extra — just a muffin, some coffee, and a few quiet minutes to enjoy it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Blueberry Muffins Are The Answer</image:title>
      <image:caption>Everyone likes them. Have you ever met anyone who doesn’t eat blueberry muffins? They’re not the kind of dessert that makes people squint and say, “Hmm… do I taste sumac?” They’re the kind that makes people smile and say, “Blueberry muffins?! YUM.” And sometimes, that’s all you need.Make it stand out</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I ended up ditching the towel and just pulling my hair back with a headband. Once you have the mask on, it sticks and doesn’t slide around on your face. It wasn’t unpleasant, and I didn’t have a “get-this-thing-off-my-face” feeling while I wore it for three hours while cleaning.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Yes, You Can Go Home Again - This is the first Lowell Street house I lived in that my parents rented between 1967 and 1970.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was a tiny house, and ancient even in the early 1970s. Because I was so young, I don’t have many memories there other than biting my newborn sister when she came home from the hospital and throwing up when my mother forced me to eat mashed potatoes at dinner. Beside that house, our neighbors, the Cristellos, an older, childless couple, built a garage when I was about five. The garage sat on the upper part of their yard, perched slightly above the rest of the property, and is still there today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Yes, You Can Go Home Again - For as long as I lived in that alley, that garage gave me the creeps. Being near it always felt like someone or something was watching me. I was so spooked that I’d ride my bike in a wide arc around it, and I never went inside, even when the door was open and our kickball rolled in. Recently, I was at the cemetery walking among the headstones of relatives and noticed one nearby that read Cristello. I shockingly learned that Mr. and Mrs. Cristello had two sons who died very young from complications of diabetes in the 1940s. Could it be that their spirits were still lingering in the early 1970s, staying close to their parents in what was once their backyard? I’ll never know, of course, but it feels like an eerie coincidence.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Yes, You Can Go Home Again - My parents built this house for $3,500 in 1970, so I was told, right across from the one next to the haunted garage. Today it looks almost exactly as I remember, though back then the siding was burgundy and a stretch of concrete was a colorful flower bed. It was an odd house, built backwards, with the back facing the alley and the front opening onto the backyard. Which meant, in a way, it didn’t have a true front door. I remember jumping up and down like an annoying little maniac the day they moved in, roller skating and playing with Barbies on the driveway, and the yellow shag carpeting in the living room.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Yes, You Can Go Home Again - Behind that house and sharing the same backyard was this house where my grandparents lived. Of all three houses I lived in on Lowell Street, this one felt the most like my real home.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My grandmother had a beauty shop in the front of the house; the basement was a giant playroom. There was a sewing room upstairs where she taught me how to make Barbie clothes. A drawer in the kitchen was always filled with those sickeningly sweet pink wafer cookies. Today, it has a jungle-like Jumanji vibe, but in the 1970s, the yard was all grass without that other crap in the picture. The house was painted white and framed by neat flower beds, with a patio that held a swing and a little swimming pool where my friends and I spent endless summer afternoons.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Mouse Ears &amp;amp; Ocean Breezes - I don’t know what kind of magic kept that ship so clean, except, of course, plenty of hard-working cast members. I am not kidding; the ship was spotless, even the bathrooms. Every cast member was friendly, smiling, and ready to answer a question or take a family picture.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Mouse Ears &amp;amp; Ocean Breezes - Visiting Disney’s two private islands was absolutely worth the price of the cruise, but what I really loved about this vacation was how much time we spent together.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Mouse Ears &amp;amp; Ocean Breezes - We shared Mickey waffles at breakfast, watched Broadway-like shows, and laughed at a silly puppet show. We were in such good spirits. Even during some of the more tedious times, like when waiting for dinner entrees to be served when we were all stupidly famished, we did so much laughing and talking.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Mouse Ears &amp;amp; Ocean Breezes - We were in the lobby listening to a band on our last night. Everyone was bouncing to the music. Toddler princesses were twirling in front of the stage. Beside us, a little girl dressed like Anna skipped back and forth. The air was filled with colors and lights dancing across the floor. Everyone laughed and clapped, swaying as the ship lightly bounced in the waves. There were no worries, no negativity, and it was one of the happiest moments I’ve ever experienced.</image:title>

      <image:caption>This strange but oddly flavorful dessert consisted of a ball of raspberry-flavored mousse sitting on top of a sugar cookie, coated with tinted red but orange-flavored gelatin, surrounded by a green and white striped candy fence.

      <image:title>Blog Posts - I Don’t Recall Giving  Vacation Permission To Be Over - Our little princess had the best time getting a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Cinderella makeover that was well worth the exorbitant amount of money Disney charged.

      <image:title>Blog Posts - I Don’t Recall Giving  Vacation Permission To Be Over - I had the very best time on this trip, except for one issue: There were birthday magnets on our door (because we were celebrating my 60th early) and a magnetic washable marker for people to leave birthday messages. A lot of people left happy messages, but some wrote MEAN things, and then someone intentionally smeared all the birthday wishes on the door and left the mean things. A kind hearted person wrote a message reminding other people to only write nice things but I ended up having to take the pen down a day into our trip because people were being dicks and our room attendant had to scrub that nasty shit off the door.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - I Don’t Recall Giving  Vacation Permission To Be Over - A beach day at Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney’s new private island, with all the highlights: soft white sand which was never hot on our feet, a gentle breeze, and an enviable sandcastle built by carpenter/handyman Pappy.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - I Don’t Recall Giving  Vacation Permission To Be Over - The greens in this salad were nice and fresh, but I swear the dressing was that fake butter you pump out of the metal butter machine and dribble on your popcorn at the theater. That said, the food was good, especially considering that they prepare fancy-ish, multi-course dinners for 4,000 people daily.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - I Don’t Recall Giving  Vacation Permission To Be Over - In an ass-backwards, unexplainable cruise attire situation, Justin showed up to dinner in clothes Bill would typically wear, and Bill showed up wearing a shirt and shorts Justin would normally wear. It was a weird switcharoo, but they both looked good.</image:title>

      <image:caption>A few hours before this picture, I was wailing because I didn’t have a gold bow to put in my hair that matched my gold shoes, which I took off after a few minutes because who wears heels when they’re 6 months pregnant? Boy, did I have my priorities in order. (Eyeroll) Bill ran all over town that afternoon looking for the right gold bow, came home with a shopping bag full of them, and most likely breathed a sigh of relief when I stuck one in my hair and shut the hell up..</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Rare sighting of my real hair color. I think this was my first little apartment. I had a set of 1970s end tables I started painting Pepto-pink, an ancient television sitting on a 1970s microwave stand and not much else.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Same apartment, same tree, same microwave stand, and ancient TV, but we also have prettier curtains and a couch! I laid it away at JCPenney, faithfully made payments, and was so freaking proud when it was delivered a few days before this picture was taken. Side note: I look at that young girl, who was kind of cute and pretty skinny but believed she wasn’t, and wonder why she had zero confidence. GAH! If only we could go back in time and talk some sense into our younger selves.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My grandfather is on the right, with his brothers Frank in the center and Albert on the left. Frank was the tallest one in the family, at about 5’ 4”. (We are a bunch of tiny Italians.) Uncle Al was a former policeman and terrified me until the day he died. He is the person I learned all my swear words from at an early age, and HE SHOUTED EVERYTHING HE SAID. A typical conversation went like this: HOW THE HELL ARE YOU?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? (To 5 year old me coloring.) WHERE THE HELL IS MY OLD BATTLE AX? (Referring to his wife, my Aunt Jay.) EAT THIS DAMN PIECE OF CANDY! (Handing out rootbeer barrels that I didn’t like but was afraid not to eat.) Yep, he was a joy. My grandfather and his other siblings were soft-spoken. I never understood why Uncle Al was so vulgar. Maybe it was little-man syndrome or growing up in a home with 10 siblings? I’ll never know, but oh, how I miss seeing so many people I took for granted in my younger years.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This was during my corporate stage, so I have short corporate hair and am wearing a tan corporate suit because, of course. Bill shaved his mustache that year and looked like my younger brother. The largest stocking on the mantle was for my mother’s dog. We were sitting in front of the fireplace that no one ever dared to light no matter how cold it was—my parents never used their furnace, and don’t ask why because I don’t know the answer—or my mother would start squawking about dust and grim settling over the entire house. So when you visited my parents, you bundled up in layers, sweaters, and jackets, came out from under a blanket for a photo, and enjoyed the HELL OUT OF CHRISTMAS with chattering teeth. (Note sweaters on my grandfather and Uncle Frank in the above photo. No sweater on Uncle Al. He probably just yelled the cold away. Har har har.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Before You Marry Someone Try Christmas Decorating Together - This is a blurry picture of Hank the Bear. Hank was Justin’s favorite toy when he was little.

      <image:title>Blog Posts - Before You Marry Someone Try Christmas Decorating Together - The Christmas Turkey Carcass started as a joke one Thanksgiving in the 1980s when someone asked Aunt Rita if she would save the turkey carcass and make a craft out of it. Never underestimate Aunt Rita and her crafting ability! She cleaned it, spray-painted it gold, and made it into a Sanda sleigh. Through the years, the turkey carcass has been passed around the family. The person who received it had to add a Christmas item to the scene - a little tree, a snowman, etc - and pass it on to someone else the next year.</image:title>
