If my 14 year old wouldn’t kill me, I would take a picture to show you what is happening right now in our house. But first, let’s rewind just a bit… Yesterday when I picked my daughter up from school she was coughing, her nose was running, and she had a sore throat. So we stopped at the store on the way home to pick up the essentials.. medicine, kleenexes, cough drops, and juice.... Read More »
I spent the majority of last week far from home – in the exotic land of Baltimore, at BlogU’15. It was a remarkable trip- I met dozens of new friends, caught up with even more old friends, learned, laughed, danced my ass off, and was beyond honored to be chosen by the Huffington Post for the Term Paper of the Year - an award to recognize the best of blogging over the past year. This aw... Read More »
My MOLE is only skin deep. My skin won’t stop me because it does not define me or who I am. As a child growing up, we all saw witches in the movies. They were old, ugly women with long hair and a GIANT MOLE, most of the time, on their nose or somewhere on their face. Or we all laughed seeing Austin Powers in Goldmemeber making fun of Fred Savage‘s character “the mole”... Read More »
I just wanted to comment on how the weather can affect our moods. I am so happy to finally be digging out of the longest winter in history… I might be stretching that a bit, but I’m just saying that it’s almost over!!!! I notice that when the sun is out, it gives me such energy and drive for the day! So, shine on and have a great day!! Anyone also notice how that little yellow ba... Read More »
The other day my 4 year old told our roofer proudly she could wipe her own bottom now when she poops. I was only slightly surprised she said this to him knowing her personality. I laughed it off and began thinking about the ugly process of teaching her and her two older sisters how to properly wipe. No one prepared me for this! I thought of parenting as moments in hallmark movies. Boy was I... Read More »
Please excuse my lack of focus. As my family and friends know too well, I have quite an hard time keeping my attention on one thing very long. I’m in sales, and because I have close to a 1000 miles of windshield time most weeks, I have plenty of alone time with my thoughts. So, here’s a snippet of what went through my head on my Monday drive. Good luck embracing my absurd stream of con... Read More »

Having the winter blues?? Well, I was… so why not take on a fixer-upper without spending a fortune!! I decided to refresh my kitchen. First, I painted (well I hired painters) to renew my old oak cabinets by using an antique finish… eggshell paint with mocha trim border. They turned out great and made the kitchen feel twice its size! Secondly, I purchased new hardware for the cabinets... Read More »
