Basic, Never Boring
What we’re reading… The Husband’s Secret on Audible I’m loving this read. I’m not finished reading/listening to it yet, but it’s so good so far. There are a few different storylines, but each has a secret they are trying to figure out that their husband is keeping. They need to make it into a movie…
What we’re reading… Becoming by Michelle Obama. I love the insider details and wife/mom perspective of being married to someone who was not only in politics, but who seemed to work tirelessly for the good of the country. She covers being raised on the Southside of Chicago, infertility, the mom guilt of working with two…
Dear Santa, I’ve been a very good stay-at-home mom this year. I’ve packed all the lunches, washed and folded all of the laundry, prepared homemade dinners, bandaged cuts, kissed skinned knees, organized play dates, scrubbed toilets, made beds, found toys, food shopped on a budget, handled school pick-up and drop-off, scheduled all doctors appointments… and…
The Thanksgiving holiday starts off a season of nostalgia and excitement for me. I look forward to the family gatherings, good food and great conversations.

The Best Kinds of Friends I’ve seen and shared the meme, which reads “A true friend is the one you can go months without talking to and when you reconnect nothing has changed.” Living in different areas of New Jersey and making friends with people from all over the state throughout my life, I’ve found…
Don’t judge…or do (with age I don’t seem to care as much), but I enjoy pretty much any show that is produced by Bravo, particularly their reality tv. My husband always teases me about this. He’ll say, “You’re too smart to watch shows like that.” But, on the contrary, I think that is the exact…
OMG it’s almost Spring Break… I’m so excited! J/k, I’m a mom. Over the next few weeks, most schools will be breaking for Spring vacation. That got us moms over here feeling nostalgic for those worry free/fun-filled Spring Break days of our pasts’. Back when the hardest decision we had to make was which bathing…
The first time I heard about The CW’s Riverdale was from my dad. He asked me; “Hey, have you heard about that new ‘Archie’ show?” I hadn’t. The second time was a suggestion from Netflix following a particularly impressive binge of 13 Reasons Why. Finally, it came up again when talking to my kids’ 14…
