I’m writing this post from a beautiful living room straight out of a magazine. Every aspect of this house from the furniture, light fixtures, throw pillows to view of the river is perfect, absolutely perfect. Now brace yourselves, I’m at a writing retreat. An official event with coffee, people, agendas and writing time. This is... Continue Reading →

This morning was my 3 week post op visit. I have been to 25 Michigan avenue enough to know my way around but today I gave that elevator a workout. For the life of me I couldn’t remember what floor it was on. I made a stop on level 2, nope. Level 4, again wrong.... Continue Reading →

It’s officially been 3 weeks since my hysterectomy. The first week sucked. I would have said don’t do it to anyone that asked. The second week I was getting out of my slump. I could actually do things. I’d do my hair and makeup, on occasion of course. I even played Betty Crocker one night... Continue Reading →

#15 will always be my favorite player The 2021 baseball season officially ended last night. This was a monumental year for us as a baseball family. We've watched our son play the game since he was in t-ball. Each year gaining value in himself, and growing athletically. Its a sport that is very unpredictable. It... Continue Reading →

I figured it would be interesting to compare those answers with that of men. What do men find sexy... Continue Reading →

When you look at this picture, my guess is you see an old neglected play set. You aren’t wrong, but that’s not all I see. I see so much more. It was 13 years ago and Brogan was just a toddler. We were definitely living on love. No extra money, and if I’m being honest,... Continue Reading →

I’ve always hated about me sections. There is a fine line between being narcissistic and being 100% confident in yourself and what you bring to the table. The older I get the less I care about lines and fitting into boxes. I am an open book. What you see is what you get. I don’t... Continue Reading →

This morning I decided that I needed to wear real clothes. Real clothes for me is similar to business casual. I catch shit all the time, but that’s ok. I can pull off blazers with leather loafers like a boss. My goal is classy, yet hip. Somewhere in the middle of Talbots and Ann Taylor.... Continue Reading →

I don’t sit idle well. I’m by no means the Energizer Bunny, but I’m not a sloth either. Whatever is in the middle of the two, that’s what I am. These next 6 weeks are going to be interesting. So many expectations, but I’m so exhausted. Truth be told I’m a bit moody too. I... Continue Reading →
