Quick Fixes – Healthy Food!

It’s been almost a year since I’ve been gluten free. My chiropractor Tim Deschenes talked to me about the anti-inflammatory qualities of a grain free diet, and I went cold turkey. Two weeks later, besides feeling great, the diet was reaffirmed by Dr. Terry Wahls, who reversed her multiple sclerosis and chronicles her research [...]

What’s Up With America?

A great publisher I worked with at Harper Collins, the great Joe Tessitore, told me shortly before his retirement that he considered me the “What’s Up With America? guy.” Along those lines, I thought I’d start a new series here at brucelittlefield.com called “What’s Up With America” and feature the things that seem to [...]

Holidays – Gifting 101

I stopped by WGN-TV in Chicago to help host Steve Sanders with his holiday list. Check it out here. Three gifting DON’Ts: #1 DON’T give a fruitcake unless its a gag gift. #2. DON’T give anything that poops or pees. #3 DON’T just throw it in a gift bag. Three gifting DO’s: #1. [...]

Life 101 – Bye big bank!

Today, I closed my accounts with the big bank (Citibank) and feel like a million bucks. For years, I’ve put up with bad service, hassles and fees. My small bank, Ulster Savings, in Ulster County knows me: they send me a Christmas card (handwritten including my dog’s name on it!), always greet me with [...]

Happy Halloween!!! (Oh, horror!)

Okay, okay… imagine you’re a kid and you open the door to THIS! (It’s my ultimate last minute Halloween costume that beautifies while horrifies.) Let’s call it the spa package: facial, head wrap, and robe. It took me all of three minutes and is giving me HOURS of FUN! (But will they accept me [...]

Life 101 – Create a memory

One of my greatest childhood Halloween memories (besides winning the local costume contest as a dog catcher) is opening our door to the “Trick or Treat” of a golden-aged couple wearing Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia masks. “Aren’t you a little old for this?” my dad asked the pair. Luke and Leia shook their [...]

Life 101 – Free advice

I just returned from my home state of South Carolina where I spoke to more than 600 of the state’s young journalists at the South Carolina Scholastic Press Association’s 75th Anniversary. (More on that soon.) What a treat it was for me to see all the bright-eyed (and hip-clad) students. Seems that lots of [...]

Life 101 – Simple happiness

As my PaPa used to say, “I’m busier than a one-armed paper hanger with hives.” It’s “back to school” season and if you’re like me, you don’t have a lot of time. So, simple is beautiful. Here are a few Life 101 ideas to inspire a happy day: A love noted dropped in a [...]

Life 101 – Every Home Should Have…

Hope you’re going to have some fun in your yard this weekend. During the summer, one of my favorite things is to roll my garden cart out to the flower beds and whip up some arrangements. I think every home should have a garden cart. I got mine at a garage sale and besides [...]

Check out the feature in Chronogram Magazine which includes my ideas on summer entertaining:

“It’s summertime and the living is easy!” gushes Bruce Littlefield, quoting George Gershwin. A party maven and arbiter of American fun, Littlefield suggests our summer get-togethers should be [...]
