My Favorite Fall Weekend in Madison
There are just a few days left until my favorite fall weekend arrives. I’m looking forward to shopping like crazy at Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art on Saturday & Sunday.

Like many women, I am the gift-buyer-in-chief for our household. I’ve found that the holiday season goes much smoother if I start thinking about Christmas gift selections early. What gifts … more
Home Cooking Warms the Community Spirit
Soup, Stew, Chili, and Brew is now one of my favorite Madison events, and I think it’s because it is all about community and sharing. I used to think it was all about food, but after living in Madison for several years, I understand why communities host these kinds of events. Of course delicious homemade … more
