Drew has turned into the human garbage disposal overnight. I think the kid may eat me out of house and home. So I decided to make some cookies he could snack on. And of course they had to be Gabby friendly too. I came across this recipe in a magazine and thought I could easily modify it to be good […]

I’m a social person. I like to chit chat. So one of the scariest things in quitting my job was being able to remain social. Yes, there are times that I can get away and hang out with my friends. But how does a STAY-AT-HOME mom socialize with others???? During my first few months of retirement, it was summertime. And […]

Relaxation? Impossible! Inner peace? As likely as peace in the Middle East. Yoga? A nice workout after several days of hard muscular working out. People that advocate for Yoga talk about the mental benefits as much as the physical ones. To be completely honest, I thought it was all a crock. I find it hard being alone with myself in […]

I have resisted adding Lululemon to “My Favorite Things” because it’s everyone’s favorite. It’s no secret, they have the best clothes. The fabric is so superior. The clothes are so comfortable.

I have some friends that are getting married out of state in a few months. When I heard about the location, I was thrilled at the opportunity to see that part of the country. I didn’t think for a second that anything would get in the way of me being a part of this big event for my special friends. […]

I am an only child. I can’t say that I necessarily disliked being an only child. Rather, there have been things about living my life as an “only” that I wasn’t the most fond of. But there were also benefits I reaped by flying solo. My friends that had siblings had households that were always buzzing. People were coming and […]

Drew has definitely had his fair share of behavioral challenges but for the most part he has been consistently ahead of the curve. He rolled over at 10 weeks, he peed on the potty for the first time at 18 months, he plays baseball like a 5 year old, etc. So although I may sound like a bragging mom, I […]
