Cats: What They’re Really Thinking

Cats: What They’re Really Thinking

Sometimes do you look at you pet and wonder what they’re thinking? If you have a cat, you may be intrigued to learn what’s going on in their head. Apparently cats don’t “get” humans in the same way that dogs do, in that, dogs categorize humans as something different than themselves, and cat’s kind of consider humans as a bigger version of one of their own.

There’s a First Time for Everything!

Getting to this very moment has been an incredibly interesting journey and I can’t even express how ecstatic I am to be writing my very first WIRL! Seeing my vision and dream become an actual “thing” is more motivating and surreal than I ever thought it would be. I can’t wait to share what it was really like to create and build a business and website; I learned so much and ... Read More »

9 Going on 16….What It’s REALLY Like!

  My sweet, sweet little girl….yea right!!! Her teachers and other moms always tell me what a sweet girl she is. I just laugh. I laugh, but want to cry. She isn’t like that with me!! What the hell? It is like she is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One minute, she is sweet and nice to me (usually when she wants something), then when she realizes she isn’t going to get what she wants, she starts...

Stylish and Creative Storage Solution

  We used to have a wooden coffee table in the middle of our living room. But once we brought our tiny human home I went from seeing “beautiful, aged dark wood coffee table with wrought iron legs” to “ARE YOU KIDDING ME YOUR CHILD CAN AND WILL FALL AND BUST HER BUTT ON THESE METAL SPIKES OF HAZARD YOU HORRIBLE PARENT!!” (Not to mention, “wasted space”.)

What “Working Out” Means To Me….

What “Working Out” Means To Me….

I choose to stay active and eat healthy because that is what makes me feel good. It is NOT easy. It is very hard to get into this lifestyle, but trust me….once you are in it, you won’t look back. Now, I haven’t ALWAYS been active and a healthy eater. I have 3 kids, so you can imagine how many times I had to restart my “Healthy Lifestyle”. Everyone is different, so wha... Read More »

Hey, Quityerbitchin’!

Hey, Quityerbitchin’!

I like to think of myself as a very positive person, however I have a very bad habit that I have recently discovered as pointed out by my wife.  Apparently, I have a regular tendency to convey my negative displeasure toward a situation, item or nature of the environment in the present.  Simply put: I bitch a lot.
