When you look at these – I hope you see the immense pride I have in them being a NON-creative mom. I also post this to prove that yes you – YOU – can make these as well. Because, if I can get crafty – ANYONE can. Put me in the kitchen? Masterpiece. Put me in front of a craft store and a Pinterest page, you’re lucky if I come… Keep Reading
It’s time for a lot of B, people. Bikinis, butts, Boudreaux, booty, bounce, #breaktheinternet, BE BETTER. This is the year that you (yes, YOU!) will start to take better care of yourself.

I am not really sure if it’s age, becoming a mom or both – but as I’m heading towards the higher end of the 30s this year, health has become a huge component of our lives way more than ever. Even though I grew up on a farm and ate “farm to table” literally everyday, we will still had things like soda and Crisco in the cupboards. Yes. My gram… Keep Reading
How are those resolutions coming along? If you’re like me, by this time of the year it’s getting harder and harder to stick to New Year’s resolutions. That’s why I stopped setting them a long time ago and I just try to take little steps on a daily basis to improve my life. From not having that extra scoop of ice cream, better time management and even simply taking the… Keep Reading

This intergalactic family with fins is on a mission – to help save Earth, and they need us New Yorkers to join in the quest. Here’s why you’ll want to join us and… Keep Reading
Growing up, Saturday mornings were about completing your chores, watching cartoons and collecting the circulars so mom could see what each store had on sale for that week. We’d clip coupons while watching my favorite show, Power Rangers. I didn’t realize the importance of what my mom was teaching me until adulthood – I just liked cutting shapes and getting to watch TV! Now that I do my own grocery… Keep Reading
Once upon a time a little girl grew up on a farm in the heart of dairy country PA. She loved to wake up early with her grandparents and head down to the barn to milk the cows. After a simple, mid-afternoon lunch of chipped chopped ham sandwiches on the wraparound porch, she would visit her Amish neighbors to drop off some fresh milk and help feed the hens and… Keep Reading
We’ve all left a candle burning or a curling iron on when we left the house accidentally at some point. We’re human. But we all know what can happen if unattended items can catch things on fire. During the winter season, especially the holidays, fire calls can rise due to more cooking, paying less attention and things like blankets and space heaters in the home. So, it’s always best to… Keep Reading
I look back at my twenties and wonder, how did I have so much time? To lay around and do nothing but watch bad movies, eat the worst foods imaginable and still have more time to get to work as a bartender or get my nails done. I’ve give anything for it not to be 6:45am on a Saturday IN PITTSBURGH and be up writing this. The life of a… Keep Reading
Kids grow so fast, and while we try to drag out the holidays as long as we can, it will be January before we know it and we will be covered in feet of snow missing our festive décor and trees. Being a single mom, I only get Max every OTHER year now, and that makes them even more special – and gives us reason to want to “preserve” them…. Keep Reading
