By Marla Jo Fisher | [email protected] | Orange County RegisterPUBLISHED: September 19, 2018 at 7:05 am | UPDATED: September 19, 2018 at 7:05 am A few days ago, I was sound asleep, minding my own business, when I was awakened by a thump and a crash. Even though I was still struggling up from a deeply satisfying dream about sailing in the Mediterranean with George Clooney, it didn’t take me long to grasp the idea that the noise came from my own bed, which had just collapsed and left me sprawled in disarray with my head suddenly lower than my feet. I immediately ran back to college and got a degree in engineering, so I was able to figure out that something supporting my mattress had just given way, but I was in that groggy state where you just turn over and go back to sleep unless a bucket of water is actively pouring down on you. I figured whatever it was, it would still be broken in the morning. Sure enough, when I pulled off the mattress, I discovered the metal beam that ran … [Read more...] about Frumpy Middle-aged Mom: You never really appreciate your comfy bed until it’s gone

Breakfast in bed? These dads would rather be in the kitchen
Joan Elovitz Kazan Milwaukee Published 4:58 p.m. UTC Jun 12, 2018 Mother’s Day is so last month. This weekend it’s all about Dad. Breakfast in bed was nice for Mom but for the guys … not so much. Especially not these guys. Meet three local dads whose passion for cooking goes well beyond the grill ... or even the standard family dinner. The Winter, Stodola and Orvis families are the well-fed beneficiaries of the resident dad’s enviable kitchen skills. Parents were foodies To say that Rick Winter grew up in a food-focused family would be an understatement. Rick’s parents, Bernalee (Bunny) and the late Chuck Winter, were foodies decades before anyone used that term. The “energizer” Bunny was determined to teach her five sons to cook. “I had all the boys doing hands-on cooking and helping in the kitchen before they left for college,” Bunny Winter recalls. This 88-year-old matriarch of a family of nine grandchildren and eight … [Read more...] about Breakfast in bed? These dads would rather be in the kitchen

14 of the best duvet covers and bedding sets for a stylish bedroom update in 2018
An inviting bedding set may not only induce sweet dreams as you tuck yourself in after a long day: it could also provide a much-needed splash of colour, riot of print or array of sensual textures to an otherwise nondescript bedroom. A new duvet cover or bedspread requires far less of the commitment required when painting the walls or purchasing furniture - we like to think of it as like buying a scarf to brighten up your day, rather than investing in a whole new wardrobe. So, how to choose the right duvet cover to create the perfect sanctuary? Firstly, there's the question of style: would you like a set that's feminine and floral, bright and striped, or geometric? Are you a follower of fashion brave enough for the Pantone Colour of the Year, Ultra Violet? Or are you simply after a soothing neutral or pastel colour scheme? Then, of course, there's the material itself. Cotton is a popular choice, and pure 100 cotton is the … [Read more...] about 14 of the best duvet covers and bedding sets for a stylish bedroom update in 2018
