As a stay at home and homeschooling mom with a husband who is working and going to school full time, I almost never get alone time for just me. I feel I have forgotten how to take care of me. I want to feel like a sexy woman again. I am no longer breast feeding or pregnant and all my kids but one are potty trained. I want “me” back. I feel in the past 8 years of mothering I have lost a...

You’ve done it, you know you have. You’ve completely butchered, or even made up, song lyrics. It’s okay, it happens to the best of us. Who cares if the words “make sense” anyway? The important thing is that they roll off your tongue smoothly. It’s awesome when you catch someone blatantly singing the wrong words; you laugh, call them out, and then try to put toge...

I recently started an exercise routine where I’m weight training and doing some walking too, as I am aware how important it is to have strong bones and muscles as we age. Being in my 50’s and just starting out, I am surprised at the fact that I’m actually enjoying doing it!! I’ve never been much for going to the gym, but once again if you push yourself out of your comfort z... Read More »

Unlike nowadays, youth sports were limited but our high school ... Read More »

I went to Baltimore. I went to BlogU. I had never been to Baltimore or a blogging conference before. I had no idea what to expect. I was terrified. Before I got on the plane, before I bought the tickets and reserved the room, before I told Jill that maybe we needed to go to a blogging conference, I spent a lot of time trying to talk myself out of going. Jill and I are a one-income show. That one ... Read More »
I was so happy for one of my good friends, Ali, to be featured on this blog! Her story is incredible. I remember sitting down with her about 3 years ago and she told me she started her own business selling skincare. I told her, “Good luck! I will buy some eye cream from you.” I was not sure at all what she was planning or where she was going to take this business. All I knew wa... 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 »
