For some reason, the 3 boys that I live with feel the need to constantly have epic-like wrestling matches on our king size bed. It’s a testosterone thing. I don’t get it. There are pillows thrown, things like “Avengers Assemble!” being shouted and a ton of ducking and hiding on my part when I have [...]

I’ve never been one for going to garage sales. I’m not knocking those who frequent them, I’m always utterly impressed with their finds and what they do with them. Honestly, I think part of it is that I feel like I have to always find that perfect, out of the box, someone-else’s-trash-is-now-my-treasure item. When I [...]

That’s how old I am today. Age is just a number. 35 is the new 25. “You don’t look a day over 29″ (says the student who is hoping for an “A”). blah. Blah. BLAH. For some reason, I’ve been having a tough time with this birthday. Would a new lawnmower fix my birthday blues? [...]

A while back, Tonya from Letters for Lucas was very gracious and asked if I would participate in her Letters for You series. Since I’m a huge fan of Tonya’s, even having had the chance to meet her in person once, I jumped at the chance to write for a day at her blog. You [...]

We all know that a night out, sometimes several, is truly a necessity. Time to get out of the house, wind down and relax with friends. There’s truly nothing better on a summer night. That’s why I’m so excited for my giveaway today – 2 complimentary tickets to Drink Michigan’s Sip of Michigan event in July. [...]

The lovely Galit and Nicole are doing a fun link-up with the question to ask yourself as a blogger: “The Lorax speaks for the trees. What, or who, do you speak for?” I speak for my kids. Someday, I hope, they will sit down and read about all of my adventures, and mishaps, in mommydom. They’ll [...]

People, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. When you’re fat, fun milestones really aren’t that, well, fun. You don’t fully enjoy them. You compare yourself to what you were, when and you realize just how much you’ve changed. And not for the better. I met my husband thirteen years, and 100 [...]

When we first started a family, Charlie and I really wanted the 3 of us to be an outdoorsy, adventure-seeking bunch. I’m not talking living off of nuts & berries in the forest, catching our dinner Katniss-style or bungee jumping off bridges as a family. We simply wanted to be a family who liked to get [...]

Last week was my spring break and we didn’t travel, completely by choice. Before kids, and even when we were a family of three, we would usually go somewhere each and every break I had from school. Right now, with the age my kids are, if we go somewhere, it’s not a vacation, it’s a trip. [...]

I’ve mentioned once, twice, or maybe even ad nauseum, how much I love to be pampered. Whether it’s a massage at MotorCity Casino Hotel’s DTour Spa or loving how my skin felt after a facial at FACE Skincare-Medical-Wellness, I’m always on board for a little rest, relaxation and treatment. So, I was excited to hear, [...]
