Basic, Never Boring
Welcome back for the last of our Mom Chats in May! This week, we chat about how we’re handling quarantine with kids, celebrity gossip, what we’re buying online, and of course – cocktails!

As I am sure most other people have heard, our nation, and the world as we know it, is about 6 months into a pandemic. Crazy to think, huh? And if you are anything like me, you’ve been doing a great deal of at-home cooking. But that is not what this post is about. This…
We’re back for week 2 of our Basic Mom Chats – and we’ve got a special guest with us! Our resident blonde friend, Val. This week, we chat about how we’re handling quarantine with kids, celebrity couples, our favorite memes, and of course – cocktails! Show Notes: Meet our Friend, Val (0:40): Val is a…
If we’ve heard one thing we need to be doing as moms, we’ve heard hundreds. At this point, it can be difficult to keep up with everything we’re supposed to be doing, especially with life throwing out things like pandemics, job losses, and all kinds of surprises these days.

Have you seen those pandemic memes? Not the funny ones about homeschooling your children, or about how couples might end up divorced after being together 24/7, but the ones that “inspire” us to become better during this quarantine.

We all appreciate our kids’ teachers. Especially now. Our teachers are superheroes who have seamlessly modified our children’s normal curriculum to be almost entirely electronic with only days notice. This year, Teacher Appreciation Week looks a little bit different. Some schools have already finished up for the school year. Others are going the full year….
Why hello my least favorite Hallmark holiday. I don’t like Mother’s Day. This is two fold. Stick with me, it will be worth it. My mom died a little over 13 years ago. You would think it would get easier. Newsflash. It doesn’t. The person who gave me life isn’t even here so I can…
Cinco de Mayo, simply stated in English is the Fifth of May. But there is nothing simple about this date. On May 5, 1862, Mexico won its independence from France in the Franco-Mexican War. While some people see it solely as a day to live it up on food and booze, it is also a…
