So it was early March, and suddenly I burst into the Christmas song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." I couldn't get it out of my head. Why...
Because it's that time of year again, when a family of four has to take out a second mortgage to pay for ice cream cones!
Are you going to dare and go bare this summer? When you take a nude beach vacation, what bugs you?
The truth is that summer is special just by being summer. Special can't be orchestrated or planned. Special just is. I can take the pressure off myself and enjoy it, whatever shape and form summer takes.
"Summertime, and the living is easy," so said George Gershwin in the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. Gershwin clearly lived a long time ago. Summertime bri...
Summertime is on the wing and in Washington, that means only one thing -- pretty soon, the relative humidity and wretched air quality index will combi...
The Jordanian Cabinet's decision to scrap wintertime came at the most difficult time: one day before a long holiday and also one day before the original plan to start wintertime. And the rationale for the decision was never fully discussed and defended by those taking it.
I think about how there are only a few more weeks left before school starts and summer ends and we are back to earlier bed times, earlier mornings and no more lazy days by the pool.
I love rosé because it reminds me of summertime. It's perfect for all my favorite warm weather activities: rooftop-sipping, poolside lounging, barbecuing, and picnicking in the park.
While some of these jobs may seem like they are just for teens, adults can and do make these businesses their full-time ventures, with a few tweaks.
Summer is anything but easy living for us.
Summer is finally here, and so are the ubiquitous crash diet plans and pressure to get a "bikini body," whatever that means. Here’s an idea: how abo...
Summer is upon us and over the next few weeks schools will be closing, the sun will be shining, and you'll be daydreaming that you're at the beach or ...
To celebrate the most memorable time of the year, here are my favorite summer songs. I hope you sing, hum and maybe even dance along!
Some days I think I am no smarter than your average roadside weed. That's because every year, come summer, I have to re-learn ways to stay cool and comfy when the temp goes over ninety.
It's summertime in Chicago and the Gallaghers are back with a new season of "Shameless" (Sun., 9 p.m. EST on Showtime). Fiona is still in way over her...
Summertime for me is about family, friends, relaxation and renewal and for me that means retreating back to Europe when my schedule allows it. This summer I spent 6 weeks traveling throughout Europe and have had some amazing adventures.
I just got back from a cross-country drive with my two dogs and boy did we have a few adventures along the way. We were headed from Southern Californi...
While the days may technically be getting shorter, summer is hardly over. If anything, it's only started to kick into full gear. As the temperature ri...
Although summer camp is typically a time in which boys and girls celebrate a new kind of independence, how do parents protect their children from being bullied when they are so far away from home?
Many years ago I happened upon a magical island in the Mediterranean. Not understanding what the families around me were saying, I could only observe their interactions -- faces, movements, joy, laughter -- without the distraction of words.
Recently, I asked my Facebook friends to share their favorite all time book. Here are those unedited results, in the order in which they arrived. Not ...
Now that the kids are going back to school, it's a good time to ask this question: what did you do with the 2,016 hours of summer?
What if everyone's boss let them out of work at 3 p.m. every day of summer, and everyone could go out and play tag?
The good news is that there may be a trend back to more front-of-the-house living.
