Mom. May. Be Surprised.

Oh... What to Wear in the Garden
Today, being a gardener means so much more than planting and tending. Once a gardener
always a gardener, I say. A simple morning cup of coffee can turn into a casual stroll
through my rose garden only to find an unpleasant weed taking root. Barely awake with
only a sip or two of coffee in me and wearing a bathrobe, there I am squatting in my
slippers to remove this unwanted greenery. My morning coffee ritual has now become a
mission to find weeds leaving my coffee cold and my feet covered in dirt. My neighbors
will tell you that they are often entertained by the many impractical and inappropriate
gardening getups I'm often found wearing. I still can hear my Grandmother's voice,
"change your clothes, Mar", before she would allow me in the garden.

Roasted Kale Chips
Our resident nutrition expert and regular contributor, Geri Zatcoff, brought these over to my house one day for a snack and I just loved them. What a wonderful and different way to get a serving of vegetables. I tweaked her recipe by adding a little cumin and now we can’t get enough of them. I hope you too enjoy them!

Terrarium: A MARvelous Glass Garden
Originally known as a “Wardian Case”, terrariums have been around for about one hundred years. I had my first terrarium when I as eight years old in second grade. We grew beans in cotton in glass jars. It was exciting back then to watch things grow, particularly without dirt. Today, I get a lot of enjoyment from my terrariums as they are intriguing to guests who always find them interesting and beautiful. When they find out how little care is required, they immediately want one.

Take me with you… Please!
Having a small dog or cat comes with the great opportunity and pleasure of traveling together.
During the first year of having my dog, I brought her everywhere I could. She learned how to
get in and out of the car and understood how to behave in public. I was proud to take her as
my date to any social event possible. Not much has changed since that time, and now I find
myself always considering my Schnauzer’s well being before finalizing my vacation plans.
If possible, I will take her along for the the road trip. Just being in the car is an
exciting trip to most pets. For any dog, traveling with his owner is just
another way to spend some quality time together.

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.

Central Park, A Horse And Me.
April is a wonderful time for many reasons. But for me, it’s also the yearly celebration of my birthday. And this year, when I was asked what I wanted to do, I quickly responded: “Dinner at 21 Club after a horseback ride in Central Park”, not even knowing if the latter was possible, but knowing I wanted a horse-y theme. So why not ask for a horse-level view of one of the world’s largest gardens?I wanted to experience one of the world’s most amazing landscaping parks from a different vantage point.

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.

Eco Friendly Weddings
What is the newest and fastest growing trend in the multi-billion dollar per year wedding industry?
Why going "green" of course. What does going "green" mean. It means that
you can have organic or locally grown food, you can be whisked away in a hybrid limo, have your
invitations printed on recycled paper or use potted plants instead of cut flowers. "People are
making purchasing decisions based on environmental concerns," says Gerald Prolman, the
founder of OrganicBouquet.com, an online organic florist.
All over the country, caterers now offer pesticide-free menus, and all-natural vintages. More than ever,
fine china and linen napkins are returning and the idea of throwaways is, well, being thrown out.
