It started out like a Monday. The phone rang too early and woke the baby. My cherished twenty minutes of peace and quiet I pray for every morning – vanished. The doorbell rang with some workmen needing me to move the car…..now….I’m still in my husband’s boxer shorts and an old ratty shirt. My hair…
Did you happen to see the article on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle about the first annual women Cougar Convention? And what’s up with Courtney Cox’s new TV show “Cougar Town”? I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out what bothers me about the “cougar” trend. When I was married I was…
The first day of Autumn is here. Where did the summer go? The weather is feels different, the days are getting shorter and my thoughts turn to the planning of our annual Pumpkin Party. Originally we started doing this event as a way to rejoice in the changing of the season (which in Northern California…
The fashion magazines have had their big, fat, juicy Fall issues out on the shelves recently previewing this season’s most highly desired clothing and accessories.

So, you might have heard some rumblings this week, seen a few changes around this site. Yes, it is official. Ginger Knows just got a LOT sassier (and a lot more frequent!). I started Ginger Knows for fun, to share my life outside my work, and to give other people advice because I am never…
I’m kind of tired of reading articles in fashion magazines talking about “fashion on a budget” when really there is no budget involved.

Have you heard about the new bar scene? Okay , not exactly bar scene but a new way to check out the latest meat on the market? Apparently “dating” has entered a new era. Dating use to mean dinner, dancing, talking late into the night and getting to “know” each other. Maybe if his breath…
September 11 has a very different connotation for me than for many of you. Today is my 10th wedding anniversary. Sadly, that relationship is over- it ended a little over a year ago. I have to admit, there have been many moments where I felt like a failure for not being able to complete the…
