Thanksgiving gets no respect. It’s the Rodney Dangerfield of holidays, and I’m not going to take it anymore. Every year I stand by and watch as Americans abruptly switch their attention from stale, leftover Halloween candy to twinkling lights and [...]
There’s a reason why one of the most recognized symbols for autism is a ribbon made of puzzle pieces. Autism is perhaps one of the most mystifying disorders that a family can deal with. Why? Because no one really knows [...]
Just when I finally got up enough nerve to join the whole planking craze that hit the U.S. over the last year, another trend has come along. It’s called batmanning, and I’m a little discouraged. In case you’ve missed out [...]
It used to be that a simple, homemade birthday cake and a few token streamers constituted a successful kid’s birthday party. Throw in a handful of friends and a donkey without a tail, and you were done. Today? Not so [...]
I recently got back from a nine-day vacation in Colorado, or as I like to call it, Mountain Tour 2011. Only I didn’t have to perform anywhere, unless you count the late night karaoke stint at a tiny bar in [...]
Wondering where to go for the best deals when it comes to school supplies? My answer is this: it solely depends on how much time you have, how much money you want to save, and how many times you want [...]
When you bring up the subject of back-to-school preparedness with most parents, you’ll likely get a response that involves an eye roll, a few body twitches and deep, soulful moaning. Because as much as they might be thrilled with the [...]
“Come here, you little pizzlewart!” That’s what my grandfather used to yell from his throne, otherwise known as a faded gold recliner, in the corner of his living room. He called all of his grandchildren pizzlewarts, which I thought was [...]
In the fall of 2007, local certified arborist Joshua Taflinger had no idea that his future would involve pesky green bugs. In fact, no one would have predicted that this successful owner of a tree trimming and removal company would [...]
I was recently told by a visiting 18-year-old neighbor that my Facebook profile picture was boring. She said, in a very matter-of-fact voice, “It’s so lame.” She then insisted that I produce my camera, right there on the spot, and [...]
I recently read a new statistic that sent me into an emotional tailspin. If you’re in your mid-thirties like I once was, you’ll feel the same way. Not only do I already worry about gray hairs, sagging appendages and an [...]
This installment is the first in a three-part series profiling libraries of different sizes and communities in Hamilton County. If you think that your local public library is becoming obsolete, or that the stereotypical prim, bespectacled librarians of yesteryear are [...]
I love bringing in the New Year. I love the optimism, the idea of starting out fresh, and the anticipation of good things to come. I do not love, however, the question that fellow humans can’t resist asking: What are [...]
Three months ago, just about the time the local swimming pools closed their doors, my son started a Christmas list. It now consists of four pieces of copy paper taped together into one long scroll of detailed items. He has [...]
If shopping for designer clothes, contributing to your local community and cleaning out your closet sound like a great combination for the holidays, then you’ll want to know about Syleta.org, an online marketplace for designer clothing targeted exclusively for students, [...]
Some people love cranberry sauce. Fine … whatever floats your gravy boat. My husband loves the stuffing, which is something I can, quite frankly, take or leave. But no matter the circumstances, no matter the setting, I will not, cannot [...]
When the doors of The Palladium swing open this January, the community of Carmel will boast a one-of-a-kind performing arts theatre like no other. So it’s only fitting that the parties, events and community activities planned during Opening Week will [...]
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m paying tribute to boobage. Not in a creepy, I-can’t-believe-you-said-that sort of way, but in a respectful, hopefully somewhat insightful manner. After all, women’s breasts are the stuff that songs, movies and motherhood [...]
This September 11, while Americans pause to reflect on the terrorist attacks that shocked the nation nine years ago, Carmel resident Erin Beery will also be reflecting on what almost was, and how thankful she is to be alive today. [...]
In the mood for something Greek, without the headache of traveling? How do fresh gyros, sizzling roasted lamb and a little baklava on the side sound, accompanied by live music and dancing? Mark your calendars for a real international adventure [...]
