Dining in can be just as fabulous as dining out
Now more than ever people are discovering the benefits to dining in. In fact,
it's not just limited to taking advantage of summer patios or nestling with friends
near the fire on a fall evening; it's becoming a year-round trend. Embracing
this idea and sharing your home with friends, neighbors or family will always
be a welcome change to what we have become accustomed to thinking of as the easier
option of "let's go out to dinner." Don't worry: in keeping with my "casual
luxury" approach, I'm not going to tell you to stage a lavish dinner
party that will exhaust both you and your budget.

Say "Hi!" to Hydrangeas!
After recently coming back from my national book tour, I arrived
home to the most breathtaking display. My hydrangeas were in
full bloom, awaiting my arrival. Hydrangeas, because they bloom
from summer all the way through to late fall, are wonderful
as a cutting flower and prolific enough for continuous bouquets.
(I have 12 varieties and over 40 of these plants, and often
have to hand the flowers away by the armload!) Nothing is more
striking than an abundant bouquet of any type of hydrangea.
Their intense colors are true eye-candy. Plus, because the
blooms vary in size and dimension you don't need many to fill
a space.

Easy
Chicken & Pineapple Salad
I love cooking using fresh ingredients but I'm never shy about maximizing the
potential of items from my well-stocked pantry. This is an easy recipe that cuts
corners, but does not sacrifice taste or style. That means it's great for last-minute
guests--or even last-minute "let's have a picnic!"
plans. Perfect with ham or turkey too.

MAR-LIGHT
Glass Bouquet
Moonlight, twilight, and now Marlight, with my MAR-Light bouquet-in-a-glass.
Between stops on my recent 14-city media tour I was home re-packing new items
to use while on shows that are a close distance away versus a flight away. While
on the road I was able to pull a few items from those locations for use in my
segments—a magnolia leaf, a few flowers, etc. But being back in studios
closer to home I was again able to take advantage of things from my own garden
as they didn’t have to survive air travel-just a car trip with me at the
wheel!

Doggy See, Doggy Do
Corky, my 16 lb. Miniature Schnauzer is turning thirteen this November and it will be time to celebrate! It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed. How fortunate I have been to have such an amazing little dog that has been the perfect companion all these years. Corky is always ready to join me whether lounging around the house, going shopping or getting ready to go on camera. Everyone loves Corky and truth be told, she is an extension of my life, my friends and my personality.

Snore Or Score With Your Door
Being the Modern Lifestyle Expert, people are always asking me what they can do to make their homes more stylish and inviting to others. It always surprises me how many people never think about how to set the tone with curb appeal. And I mean a very specific focus: the front door. Think you need to own a home to worry about this? Not so. Even for apartment dwellers, your front door sets the tone for what your guests will experience once they’re through the entry.

Doing the Right Thing
(or Spontaneous Acts of Kindness)
Those of you familiar with my articles know that I’m usually inspired by a personal experience which compels me to grab my lap-top and put it down while it’s fresh on my mind. Admittedly, I get great joy in sharing these experiences in the hope that I can help motivate, teach and inspire others.

A House, A Garden and a Book to Match
It’s a story that will make you feel right at home. It began just over a decade ago when Mar Jennings, banker turned author and modern lifestyle expert, bought a three-story colonial townhouse, becoming the foundation on which his creativity and passion for design began to sprout. He added a simple sixteen-by-ten-foot garage in the rear of the property to complement the home’s architectural style and curb appeal. And that was just the beginning.

EcoFriendly Gardening
Oh what can you do to create an eco friendly garden? Truth be told, many things

the process and protect our greatest resource, Mother earth.
