In my last post I told you I was buying my daughter the new iPod Touch 4th Generation for her 16th birthday. I wanted to follow that post up with her reaction to the gift. She was totally shocked! I was able to keep it a surprise until that very moment and was it ever [...]

iPod Touch, 4th Generation – Happy Birthday!
September 11th, 2010 Tracy Matlack Ah to be sixteen again….I wouldn’t want to do it over! My daughter Haley will have her Sweet 16 birthday on Monday. I racked my brain thinking of what I could get her that would be special. Something she really wanted and that she could keep for a long time. Something exciting and something she [...]

May 13th, 2010 Tracy Matlack I have discovered a great little secret in the mountains of Hiawassee, Georgia. It is a wonderful coffee house cafe called, “Mountain Perk Coffee House Cafe”. Whenever I am in the area with a extra time to kill, I always stop in to have a white chocolate latte and blueberry scone. I set up my [...]

April 14th, 2010 Tracy Matlack Finally! Andrew Garcia has been voted off American Idol! Forgive me for sounding so excited, but I just never could understand how he made it this far. He always sounded pitchy and off tune to me. His slowed down rendition of “Hound Dog” was boring Tuesday night. I just don’t get Andy. Katie Stevens was [...]

April 2nd, 2010 Tracy Matlack My son Mark and I are fascinated with Greek mythology, and now my daughter Haley is reading Homer’s Iliad. This makes for great conversation around the dinner table. We are learning the names of a lot of the gods and we are discussing the stories the Greeks used to explain things. One of my favorites [...]

March 23rd, 2010 Tracy Matlack She is on a roll! Crystal Bowersox rocked the house once again on American Idol. Tonight was Billboard No. 1 Hits night and Crystal is definitely a No. 1 Hit. Performing her rendition of Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee” Crystal proved she is a star and Randy Jackson couldn’t agree more. “That’s what is [...]

March 20th, 2010 Tracy Matlack American Idol just isn’t the same without Alex Lambert. I can’t say enough about this young man and his talent. His unique voice, humble character and sweet smile make for a perfect musical package, guaranteed to make any teenage girl swoon. What an unfortunate loss for the viewers of American Idol. I surely miss looking [...]

March 19th, 2010 Tracy Matlack I was reading through one of my Yoga newsletters and came across this article by Brendan Brazier. He gives great ideas on how to transition into healthy eating. At this point, most of us know what foods are healthy. The challenge is no longer in finding the best health-promoting foods, but rather conveniently incorporating them [...]

March 17th, 2010 Tracy Matlack Tonight was Rolling Stones night on American Idol. The top twelve sang and I have to say it was all kind of boring. It doesn’t seem like this year’s talent is above bar. You would think that this far into the competition the contestants would be kicking it into high gear, but I just wasn’t [...]
