Basic, Never Boring
We are in the deep throws of school now. Not sure about your mornings, but they are rushed around here. My daughter is an early riser but the son isn’t, so it makes for interesting mornings. Make-ahead sandwiches are heaven sent in my house. They help my already chaotic mornings run a little smoother because…
What we’re reading… Slightly Spooky Books – because it’s almost Halloween! With Halloween just around the corner (seriously, it’s just a few days away… are you ready?!?) some of our contributors have been gearing up by reading spooky books. Our contributor, Jessica W. recommends the following: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides The Bad Seed…
I’m gonna be honest, this year I was going to let Halloween fly by without doing all the extras. There was going to be no decorations, no Halloween fun, just trunk-or-treating and trick-or-treating. I wasn’t going to not have any fun. But this year, I just wasn’t feeling up to getting out all the Halloween…
What we’re obsessed with… American Eagle I loved American Eagle when I was younger. It’s basically what I lived in for most of high school and college. Back in those days, I was much smaller than I am now, like at least 40lbs smaller. Then, I typically wore a Medium or even sometimes a Large…
My oldest was born in the spring, her birthday falling a day after mine. From the time she was an infant, I thought I had her early education planned out. She and I would attend a parent/toddler class when she was two and a half. Then she would go to two years of preschool followed…

Who wouldn’t embrace an adorable baby bump, proudly showing off that you are the sole source of a growing tiny human? Well, I…
What we’re thinking about… Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence Two issues that both affect women share the month of October for their awareness. This past week, we spent time sharing personal accounts and statistics about these issues and we will continue to do so throughout the month. If you missed it, our contributor Carrie shared…
Is it still domestic violence? I was probably about three or four. My earliest memory of my dad was him looking at me and screaming and hitting his chest because I bothered him when I asked him to look for a plate for my dolly. He told me it was a waste of his time…
I have this weird thing with dates. I never forget the big dates. I always remember the date my husband left for boot camp, deployment, weird anniversaries (like when we broke up), and it always seems to be about the negative dates. I try to remember the negative dates and do something to make it…
What we’re reading… Stories that Stick by Kindra Hall I heard Kindra Hall interviewed on one of my favorite Podcast, The Kate & Mike Show and I immediately purchased her book. I could seriously listen to her tell stories every day. I just started the book and it is already eye opening. She uses stories…
