You guys. I’m having one of those evenings where I am quite literally exhausted. I feel like I can’t expend any more energy than I already have today. I got my kiddo to school, I worked, I put supper on the table, I’m done. (Okay, I ordered pizza and opened a bottle of wine, but still.) […] Read more…
Trying Out Rodan+Fields
It’s called #RFLife on social media – which stands for Rodan + Fields Life. And it’s full of postings of women (and even some men) who have tried this skincare program and found it to be life-changing. I will readily admit that I had been fairly skeptical about this skincare company, mainly because it is quite pricey […] Read more…
Weekend Snaps: The Calm Before the Storm
I find myself sitting in our porch tonight under two of the most unlikely scenarios: The window is open on this crazy beautiful – warm! – March evening. I am all by myself. Well, not counting Earl the pug, who is snoring at my feet. But there is no Teacher Man or Joe Man here […] Read more…

I was weirdly surprised to see NFL football teams playing and I completely forgot to walk out to the mailbox to get the Sunday newspaper until late afternoon. Also, […] Read more…
High Five for Friday (+ Randomness)
I have decided that I don’t have enough random writing time in my life. I’ve mentioned this before (here, for instance), but I love just sitting at the laptop, creating fun posts about a multitude of topics that have nothing to do with each other. It’s my creative outlet. And quite possibly my therapy session. […] Read more…
Kringle to the Rescue!
I’ve been feeling a bit harried and stressed this week. It’s almost as if the Christmas season is rushing by me too fast and I can’t seem to slow down to really enjoy any quiet moments with my family. I realize it’s only December 8 but somehow the early part of the month always has […] Read more…
