A recent post titled, No Your Dog Is Not Your “Baby” – Saying That Is An Insult To Moms published by Elizabeth Broadbent from YourTango, discusses how people who refer to their pets as “Furbabies” or “FurKids” really tick her off.  Apparently, the world had a lot to say about this subjec...

Infertility – 1 Samuel 1:27

Infertility – 1 Samuel 1:27

A little over a year ago, my husband and I shared this video with our family and friends. For anyone struggling with infertility, please don’t give up. It’s worth it all. I’m hesitant to post this because I’ve been on the other side – constantly seeing success stories while I was still waiting for mine. But I want to encourage people to keep fighting the good fight. T... Read More »

Dear US Airways

Dear US Airways

  Dear US Airways, Your customer service stinks, bad. You definitely need to work on your automated man who answers the phone when you call your 1-800 number because he stinks too. I called to book my flight using a reward travel certificate (that you can only use by booking over the phone – which is ridiculous) and was asked to “call back” at least 20 times, due to bad weat...

Confessions of a Starbucks Barista

Confessions of a Starbucks Barista

Who doesn’t love Starbucks? The coffee, the croissants, the sandwiches, the smell, the atmosphere, the “Cheers” experience you get when you walk in to your local one and Everybody Knows Your Name. But, have you ever thought about what it’s really like? What do the Barista’s see and hear that we don’t? What kind of crazy shit do they have to deal with from behind... Read More »

NCAA’s Best Cinderella Stories: Keep The Underdog In Mind While Filling Out Your Brackets!

Who doesn’t love an underdog? Well, the NCAA tournament is usually full of incredible cinderella stories, buzzer beaters, close games, and suspense, but it’s kinda nice to see an occasional upset throw everyone’s bracket for a major loop, right? Some people select their brackets based on studying statistics, some base their picks off of  the team color, and some base their select... Read More »

Pantry Order

Pantry Order

If you are like me (someone who loves food, especially snacks) you probably have a lot of mess going on in your pantry.  Mine has always looked like a tornado ran through it.  It’s just pure unorganized chaos in there every time the door is opened. My husband and I have always tried to keep it neat.  We tried organizing it in categories:  pasta, soups and mixes on one shelf, cereal, granola bars, ... Read More »

How Winnie The Pooh Changed My Life

How Winnie The Pooh Changed My Life

I’ve been watching a lot of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh lately and there some pretty good “life lessons” within the story. You know, like when Piglet gives up his beloved family home to Owl because he doesn’t want to hurt Eeyore’s feelings. Or when Rabbit invites Pooh in for lunch, even though he knows Pooh will eat all his honey. And I realized that the mo... Read More »
