Back from Boston
What’s Jack up to? I think he’s happy I’m back from Boston. Heck, he’s the only one to run to the door and hop up and down when I came home at 1:00 am last night.So I’m back from Marley’s book launch party and have all sorts of fun stores and pictures to share this week once I’m organized. I met so many of my Agency sistahs and blog friends. Both the party and after party were fab! Warning: Moms on the loose!Check out Jack with the new Marley Gibson aka Kate Harmon Sorority 101books!!! Yay. (Mar do you know how hard it was to get that shot?)

What’s Jack up to? Happily romping around while the sun is still low. Here he is (with his cropped hair) yesterday hiding out from the strong sun. That dog is like me and both loathes and loves the sun at the same time. He soaks up some rays for a bit then does his best to hide for the rest of the day.
So did any of you get to watch the reunion show of the Not So Real Housewives of New York City? What a trip it was! Once again Ramona was just nutty, staying true to form and even walking off the stage without a word when Simon was there and talk came up about Alex’s nude photos. That Alex and Simon are just so delusional about the world and themselves that its a mess. 
At least the other women could admit that the show really did show them as they truly were. These two would not admit a thing. My favorite line came from Ms. Bethany when she called Alex, “All show and No go.” That was perfect.
I still think Jill is the best and wonder if they will have the guts to all come back for another season. I hope they will but I have a feeling that Alex and Simon may be breaking out on their on if the others don’t come back or even if they do. Those two social climbers will want their own show. Simon is such a Diva!

Top Chef- The wait is almost over!
What’s Jack up to? Sweet Jack is being a bit of a devil as usual. Biting slippers, stealing socks, jumping in and out of tubs-for reasons I don’t know why. Another day just, Jack being, Jack.
In honor of the Blog Party I thought I’d share my fun story of cute guys in the kitchen. (sorry to my buds who already heard this one a million times)
So last year I was in NYC on a gorgeous day for a doctors appointment. Now, I wasn’t thrilled because this appointment was way downtown and I had to take an extra train to get there. When I was leaving I decided to walk a bit through Union Square on my way to a yarn store to see what I could find.
As I come across the park I see a small crowd of people milling about and it being New York anything could be happening. Could be good, could be bad. I walked closer, squinted and saw there was a Bravo sign. Could it be the Bravo channel that I love so much? I had to see. I crossed over and like a good New Yorker just blended into the crowd and asked the eager looking gal next to me, very matter of factly, “what’s this all about?”She turned to me and said. “They’re doing a Top Chef challenge with Sam and Ilan out here today to promote the new season!”
What?! Needless to say any cool I had or dreams of new yarn went out the window as I eagerly anticipated seeing the sweet Ilan and the Way-to-cute-to-be-able-to-cook Sam do battle.
Padma starts off introducing them both.
Don’t you just love a man in the kitchen?
Work boys, work!
Sam filling out his sweater way too well!
The new cast was introduced. Now after analyzing this I was convinced that Tre would win since he was not there and my theory was they had the winner under wraps. Boy was I wrong! Check out Hung front and center. Ugh!
Then the perfect end to the day. Suddenly I was up front and Sam was right there taking photos and the normally shy me turns to the eager gal next to me, she’s now my new best friend. I hand her my phone. I look nervously at Sam and ask, trying to be cool of course, “can I get a picture with you?” (suddenly I’m 13). He smiled kindly, I’m about the 10th crazy women in the past 30 seconds to do this, but Sam smiles and says, “sure”. Sigh…Please excuse the goofy and grin (my DH can’t believe how wide my smile is) and bad hair, but what a fun day!
Oh and Ilan won the challenge, but you know who won my heart.
Best,
Kwana
It’s A Party!
Hey, I just noticed that this is my 100th blog Post!!!!
Happy Anniversary to me!!!
What’s Jack up to? Just being Jack. It’s a pretty good life!
So I just found the great site called 5 Minutes for Mom. Love the title and any place I can get 5 minutes for me makes me happy!
Its a site where Moms can get together to share thoughts and ideas. This week their hosting a blog party so that we can all make new blog friends and maybe win prizes.
The top 3 prizes I would choose are :
1. # 92 Pearl Earrings from http://pamperingbeki.com/
2. #135 handmade necklace from : http://www.dandeliondayz.com/
3. #147 earrings from: http://www.2bellesandabead.com/To all new friends thanks so much for stopping by and to all my old buds, keep coming and please click on the cute widget with the dancing ladies and check out some of the cool blogs.
Here’s a little about me for those newbies. I’m a mother of teen twins (double the fun, HA!), a former fashion designer and now a women’s fiction writer. I also have a strange love of reality tv that I can’t seem to shake. So if you’re into family, books, fashion, decor and not-so-real TV this is the place for you!
I also am the caregiver of the most terrible and terribly cute terrier named, Jack. I usually give a daily update on Jack since he’s the only one living in my house that can’t sue me for libel later!
Thanks for stopping by. Come on back now ‘ya here!(oh and please click on the banner above for newer posts.It will be worth the while!)Best,
KwanaI’m a survivor!
What’s Jack up to? He’s made a new friend with the sweet Fedex Lady. She got down to his level and appealed to his vanity telling him how handsome he was. Poor lady, never look Jack in the eyes or you’ll be trapped in his web.Here is a photo of Jack chilling on his bed in front of the fireplace. He’s still attached to the blanket I got him when I gave him when we first got him at 8 weeks. Don’t let the cuteness fool you. He’s no doubt waiting until I walk away so he can sneak back up on the couch where he’ll really sleep. Do you think you’re fooling me, Jack? Enjoy the photo Mary-Laure!
Survivor was fun as usual. How funny was it when James came up with the answer to the puzzle and he was like, “come on guys if I can come up with it!” Too cute. James even surprising himself by realizing he’s more then just amazing pecs.
Poor, Chet just sitting so silently waiting for it all to go down. Did he speak up once for himself? Have you ever seen a sadder face? The poor man can’t wait for a shower and shave. He just wants to go home.
Then out of nowhere his shower was snatched from him when Mikey B got the boot. I’m not sure it was a good move for winning challenges but that Joel is pretty cagey. E-VIL.Best,KwanaPlaying in the Rain
What’s Jack up to? He’s currently soaked after frolicking in the rain this morning. So now he’s doing the annoying the back and forth swipe on the basement couch. Ugh.Here he is with a morning greeting. Get down, Jack I want to sleep in.Best,KwanaBaby, it’s cold outside
What’s Jack up to? Why he’s busy proving himself to be the world’s hardest to train Yorkie by not going to potty outside like he’s supposed to, but waiting to go inside where it’s warm.
Here he is looking spiffy in his new Lands End jacket, which is obviously just for show.Jack, do you think I’m walking around in 20 degree weather for the fun of it?Best,KwanaHappy Holidays

Hi, welcome to my world. I hope you like it here. I’ll admit it may get a little strange at times.
Well, this is a big step for me, getting into this whole blog thing. I said for the longest time that I’d never do it. Now here I am. Doing it!
So what will my little corner of the Internet be about?Why me of course. And my DH (dear husband), my now teenage twins: DS (dear son) and DD (dear daughter) and Jack, our terrible and terribly cute Yorkshire terrier.Honestly, Jack will probably be the star of the show since the other players could possibly sue me if I spill too much and Jack is a born publicity hound. Check out the picture here for proof of how nutty Jack and I can be.I’ll also be talking about the writing life, my love of knitting and my favorite guilty pleasure, not so real, reality TV.Happy Holidays!
