a matter of trust
May 30th, 2012
Eight years ago today, two became one. Or, more accurately, four became one. My first marriage ended in December of 2000, the result of a devastating and unexpected infidelity that rocked the very core of my being. By then I was underweight, in compromised health and using every ounce of strength I had to take care of my [...]
my organized kitchen
May 29th, 2012
I am not a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants cook. I so admire people who can just grab bits of this and that from the fridge and pantry and throw a meal together. That is definitely NOT me. I cook from recipes and like to know in advance what I’m making for dinner each night. And because my day [...]
you say yes. i say no.
May 27th, 2012
I had this one NAILED. I couldn’t wait to share what was sure to be one of our most awesome trips ever. As an architecture student at Pratt I basically lived in the subways – going to and from school, and on countless outings to New York City. It was the early 80′s, and it [...]
d.i.y.: sprinkles
May 25th, 2012
Don’t judge. It’s not like that. I just love sprinkles – they’re my very favorite ice cream topping – which should be no surprise since I love, love all things sugar. They’re sweet, crunchy, sugary and pretty. And you should make them too – here’s why: 1. Have you seen the ingredients in commercial sprinkles? Carnauba wax? Cellulose [...]
favor- “ette”: roots in rust & skt ceramics
May 24th, 2012
You all know by now what a fan I am of the Brooklyn Flea – I try to go several times throughout the year, and love that there are always wonderful new food and craft vendors to discover. I was at the Flea last month to attend the NYC Food Blogger Bake Sale, and I [...]
about face, part three: eyes, cheeks and lips
May 22nd, 2012
So we’ve talked skin care. And a whole lot about foundation. Let’s move on to eyes, cheeks and lips! photo source: found in mom’s basement I am, to put it mildly, a make-up minimalist. When I look back at pictures from 20 years ago I am floored by how much makeup I wore (and how [...]
i’m kreativ!
May 19th, 2012
Well as if the end of the week wasn’t nice enough, I got THIS late last night: The very lovely Sara of the wonderful blog Simplify by Sara gave me a ”Kreativ Blogger” award! I met Sara last year when I hired her to make magic out of the disarray that was my garage. And she did. But rather than [...]
the little things.
May 18th, 2012
This week had its ups and downs, but in the end? All up……….and it was the littlest things, really. My planters and flower beds are starting to come alive – the shapes and colors are pure happy…. And then I got this note from a new friend: I guess I should be writing this to [...]
blove: punky and the city
May 16th, 2012
Today’s “blove” goes out to a woman who I would have never “met” (in quotes as we have yet to embrace IRL, but I feel like I know her, if you know what I mean), had it not been for blogging. And it’s these connections - with people from all over the globe, of all different ages [...]

If you’ve been reading this blog for some time now, then you KNOW how much I love s’mores. And if you follow me on Instagram (sherisilver, if you’d like), then you KNOW how much I love One Girl Cookies s’mores cookies. So you KNOW what’s coming, right? You make some of these: And some of these: Then [...]
