It’s the final day of Thanksgiving weekend and some leftovers are still in the fridge, I’m still in my pajamas, and there are Christmas storage boxes still on the floor…all over the floor. I am a staunch supporter of waiting until after Thanksgiving to begin decorating for Christmas – but I also like to get…
Thank you to Ubisoft for sponsoring this post. Please click here to learn more about Ubisoft. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective. #UbiChamps Happy Thanksgiving! Today kicks off the final sprint to the end of the year—a joyous and frenzied time…
I’ll just put it out there right now – I’m a sucker for a good compliment. Though I have no problem working hard for the personal satisfaction of knowing I’ve done a job well, I also enjoy the occasional ego stroke. Tell me I did a great job planning a party or that my outfit…
When I first met the man who would become the father of my children, he was a long-haired smart-ass who worked at the video game store across the hall from the houseware store I worked in at the mall. He drove a bright yellow Dodge Omni and took pride in seeing how many parking spaces…
Yes, it’s Saturday. I understand. If I keep this up eventually I will need to do one of 2 things: change “Friday Five” to “Saturday Six,” or just get my sh*t together and post on Friday. 1. Vacations: After Lil’ G (our 2nd and last offspring) was born, the husband and I decided we wanted…

Happy March! If there’s one thing to celebrate today, it’s that another February has gone away (actually, compared to Feb of 2011, this Feb wasn’t so bad). March means spring and green! Green means…St. Patrick’s day! The one day everybody suddenly remembers they have a wee bit of Irish in them. Last year I started…
It’s Monday…need I say more? OK…here in the MidWest it’s that nasty “Wintry Mix” weather outside today. You know, that stuff that sounds like a tasty snack but is actually disgusting slush that is extremely unpleasant to walk through. Also, on the family agenda tonight – shopping for new cell phones. (Visiting the phone store…
It’s a new year, a new day – a fresh start, a blank page. Whether you have made resolutions or simply resolve never to make resolutions – may 2012 bring happiness to your life. Personally I have big plans for 2012, my calendar is full of major goals and lots of good intentions…but above all…
