So, here is a short little post about what it’s like. Don’t worry, I don’t ge... Read More »

Fergie & the Fire (2014)

Fergie & the Fire (2014)

Today started like any other day. I took the kids to school, came home, and had my first workout in almost 3 months. After my trainer left, I sat down and 90 seconds later, my phone rang. “Hi, Kate – this is Kellan’s teacher.” “Uh-oh…. what did he do THIS time…?” “The school has been evacuated, and all the children are being held at (blank). Please come get him as soon as you can.” “What about my ... Read More »

Making the Big Shot

Making the Big Shot

If you play any sport, you know that nothing beat hitting the game winning shot or having a walk-off base hit to win. But doing that at the NBA level is a whole different ballgame. NBA’s Brooklyn Nets player Paul Pierce can attest to that. Pierce recalls his most memorable game winning shots was back in 2010, when he was with the Boston Celtics, at Madison Square Garden against the New York ... Read More »

Double the Blogs, Double the Fun, Except Maybe for the Husband

I’m Stephanie, and I’m maybe-slightly-kind-of addicted to blogging. I don’t need, like, group meetings and an intervention or anything. I just really, really like it. I can quit anytime. I swear! (No, you don’t need to speak with my husband. Let’s just keep this between us. *wink wink*) I started several years ago, have been through three domain names as I finally nar... Read More »

MIRACLE on ice …

MIRACLE on ice …

No I am not referring to when the U.S. men’s hockey team defeated the Soviets in the 1980 winter Olympics. The miracle that I am going to share with you today is the story of my engagement to the love of my life. If you would have told me 2 yrs ago that that summer I would meet the man of my dreams and be completely head over heels in love with my best friend I would have told you that you were ce...

Millennial Bad Reputation

Why Millennials Have a Bad Reputation

Millennials seem to have a bad rap. Many, especially baby boomers, tend to say they walk this planet with a sense of gotta-have-it-now entitlement and a lack of work ethic. They’ve also been referred to as lazy, addicted to social media, and carefree. But is this really the case, and if so, is it their fault? In my opinion, millennials didn’t really have a choice. They were born into a... Read More »

Aging Parents

I’m feeling a sense of sadness when I look around to watch some of my friends caring for their ageing parents. We all say, at one time or another, that we hope to live to be 100, but do we really mean that and do we really know what it might entail?? Many elderly are fortunate to be able to stay in fairly good health and live in their own homes independently, but some are far less fortunate ... Read More »
