Basic, Never Boring
A little known “holiday” which is, now, near and dear to my heart is a day dedicated to vodka. Who knew that there was a National Vodka day? I’m here to tell ya, there is! As a vodka drinker, I prefer Tito’s or Grey Goose. I have found the more premium brands taste cleaner and…

Do you remember going out for Halloween and getting home and running to the table to dump all your candy out? And how excited you were to start eating all the yummy goodies laying out in front of you with the biggest smile on your face? You probably just jumped right in without even thinking…
Relaxation can sometimes feel like an elusive unicorn we search for as a parent. The three minutes of quiet while we are on the toilet until we see fingers under the door. The five minutes on the playground, before a request to be pushed on the swings. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take what I…

As the cool wind blows across my cheeks on what is just the first of many fall days, my mind is already abuzz with what I will be cooking for supper. For me, fall is represented by so many things. Of course there are bonfires, hayrides, and pumpkin spice everything. But most importantly, it means…
What we’re listening to… The Kate & Mike Show Kate Northrup is my new obsession. I first heard her on the BossBabe podcast and then moved on to her podcast that she does, weekly, with her husband, Mike. She’s so logical and warm. I love what she has to say and how she says it….
They say that we all go through “seasons” in our lives. I like to think that is a cute way of saying, “Child, it sucks out there sometimes. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get to it”. For some of us, the most trying season we face is after our child is born and…
The Rut We Found Ourselves In Summers at our house for the past 8 years have pretty much looked the same. For the biggest part of the summer my husband would be working 50/60+ hours a week and I would be at home with our kids. I say 8 years as that was my first…
