What we’re reading… Decluttering at the Speed of Life by Dana K. White. You may be into this whole KonMari wave, but you might also be a slob, like me. This book just clicks because it was written for slobs as opposed to people who love to clean. It’s like watered down KonMari for the…
Sharing the Love With the Littles: Kid-Friendly Crafts for Valentine’s Day
A great deal has changed in our house during the month of January. The Mister has retired after 28 and a half years in Law Enforcement and I have gone back to work after 8 years of staying home. Going back to work was not what I originally thought it would be. Instead of going…
The Five Love Languages: Do They Really Apply
With Valentine’s Day coming up, all things love and romance are in our faces.

What We’re Into this Week Vol. 4
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.

Advanced Maternal Age Beyond Pregnancy
Being an “Older” Mom I was born in December of 1972. I just turned 46 and I am the “older mom” of a 7 and 11 year old. Now you know how old I am. Write it down if you want to remember, because you’ll never again see me reveal my age. Why? Because although…
