I am a part-time freelance writer and full-time mother living in the Chicago suburbs.

reviewed Sweet Valley High. March 15, 2009
Sweet Valley High series,
I started reading the Sweet Valley High series when I was in junior high. My mom didn't approve of that kind of literature, so I bought the books on the sly and kept them in the back of my bookcase. They …
reviewed Bridget Jones's Diary (book). March 15, 2009
Book Cover
As a professional journalist, I was probably unjustifiably influenced by Bridget's complete and total incompetence in my field. I found her inability to write complete sentences insulting, and wondered …
reviewed Primo Eurobath. March 12, 2009
Primo Eurobath
My son is three now, but we used this bathtub for him until he was about 1 1/2 and it was a great product. It's basically all one piece so it doesn't require any assembly or generate worries about collapse. …
reviewed Jane Austen. March 11, 2009
Jane Austen
Let's get this straight. I do not read romance novels. Well, not regularly anyway. I don't consider Jane Austen's books to be brilliant because of the romance, and I consider many of the "sequels" other …
reviewed Chutes and Ladders. March 09, 2009
Chutes and Ladders
While I do think Chutes & Ladders is a fun game, I would like to add that it's a more difficult game for younger children to play. It says ages 3 and up, but because the only way you can find the …
reviewed Candy Land (board game). March 09, 2009
Old School Candy Land
This game has been a classic for generations, and with good cause. From my point of view, as a mom who bought Candy Land for my son before he turned three, it's one of the better games for young children. …
reviewed Lush. March 07, 2009
inside the store
I love Lush as a concept (fresh, handmade, eco-friendly) and as a seller of soaps and bath bombs, though I've had less luck with some of its face/toner and lotion products. Their soaps are gloriously …
reviewed Trader Joe's. March 07, 2009
Trader Joe's
I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's grocery stores, although I can''t shop there exclusively because they don't have the, er, bad, unhealthy junk food I like. For example, Pepsi. Hey, a girl occasionally needs …

Well, what did you think of the new Star Trek film?
May 13, 2009
I liked it! I haven't had a chance to put a review up on Lunch.com (not sure I will, I'm sure there are tons of them up already), but here's a link to the one I wrote for my scifi TV site: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art21709.asp

Yep, I do the same thing: soy sauce marinates fish or meat very well. here's a really cool marinade I found for on the NY Times website: Check out Frank's Steak and tell me if your mouth doesn't water http://video.nytimes.com/video/playlist/styl...ndex.html#1194837897096
