F*ck them cookies is my new mantra. Ever since I was young child I can remember my mom would always make spritz cookies. They were nothing fancy but the fact that they came out of a press and could be made into several different shapes made them fun. For some reason over the last few... Continue Reading →

I love Thanksgiving. I don’t stress about dishes or cleaning for company. I don’t thaw the turkey for 3 days in the fridge. I press the easy button and order from Bob Evans. I’m telling you that’s where it’s at. My mom still made her stuffing and my husband still did his sweet potatoes but... Continue Reading →

Today is my wedding anniversary. If you would have asked me on my wedding day, what I though I’d be doing on my 18th anniversary, I guarantee you that picking up dog shit and grocery shopping would not have crossed my mind. Now don’t get me wrong, today was spent exactly how I wanted. Yesterday... Continue Reading →

Wednesday my sister in law got married. It was the most beautiful ceremony that I have ever witnessed. It was an intimate event, full of laughter and tears. Brogan had the honor of walking her down the isle. I really should have prepared better in the tissue category. I couldn’t help but remember him being... Continue Reading →

I don’t watch scary movies because I don’t find enjoyment in being scared. I don’t like haunted houses or having things jump out of a cornfield at me. Once the suspense music starts in a movie, I’m done. The scariest thing lately though, my 12 year old daughter. I’m not sure if it’s because she’s... Continue Reading →

Friday morning I had coffee with a friend. I love having coffee and catching up. It’s amazing how an hour visit can fill your soul and warm your heart.

Of course I rarely use it considering in the summer it makes the house ungodly hot and in the winter the... Continue Reading →

As I navigate through motherhood my triggers change. “Triggers” meaning the things that drive you absolutely crazy. After almost 25 years of having this gig I’ve learned to not sweat the small stuff. If you don’t want to wear a coat in the middle of winter, don’t. I could care less. If want to grow... Continue Reading →

I was thinking the other day that it’s been awhile since I blogged. I had no idea it’s been 6 months. Obviously that it’s absolutely unacceptable. A rare night out Maybe I’ll start getting up earlier in the morning to jot down a few lines. Who am I kidding? The chances of that are about... Continue Reading →

It’s no secret that I am in love with Biggby and their caramel sweet cream cold brew. I have one every Wednesday at coffee and I try to sneak one in during the week. I obviously forgot that I’m old when I got one Friday night at 7pm. We were going to run errands and... Continue Reading →
