Max and I were in the middle of a solid tickle war the other day when he accidentally grabbed and snapped the chain on my everyday necklace. He was completely devastated as a six-year-old would be, even though I reassured him we could have it fixed. He adamantly exclaimed he wanted… Keep Reading
Maybe it’s because we lived in a rural area before Walmart existed, but if there is one smell (beyond the farm) that I remember it’s Baby Magic. We used to live on this stuff, well and Bag Balm tbh, and I honestly haven’t smelled that scent for years until last week, and you guys – it’s like… a big bowl of comfort food for your soul and skin. Maybe it’s… Keep Reading
We’re kind of obsessed with pancakes over here. I mean, who isn’t really? You can play with shapes, flavors, add fruit and spices… Pancakes are so good even Jack Johnson wrote a song about them. So it’s no wonder they have their very own pancake day – which happens to be TODAY – March 5. One thing I love to sneak into my pancakes is protein. It’s usually easy to… Keep Reading
So you’re tuning in on Sunday to watch some football? Let’s call it what it really is. The Big Game, as they refer to it, is to many of us losing team watchers a chance to drown our sorrows of our team while hurling judgmental comments at the screen for mistakes our teams, of course, wouldn’t make while indulging in heartbreak gluttony. So you’re gonna need some provisions to get… Keep Reading
Another fantastic vegan find. If you’re tired of reading about vegan food – turn away now. But you’ll be missing out – this is the year to be vegan. There are so many delicious options I’m discovering that are meat- and dairy-free that you don’t even notice you’re giving up anything. Case in point my most recent find: Alpha Burritos and Pot Pies. These were a fun find because I… Keep Reading
If you would have asked me even a few months ago that I would down this health journey, I would have laughed. I grew up on a farm and we hunted animals to eat. Dairy and meat were staples in our diet. But we as get older and wiser, the evidence is pretty clear that eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes is where it’s at. They say this… Keep Reading

Don’t be like Arnold. The best way to attack holiday shopping… Keep Reading

It’s here. The H word. The holidays are just bursting with so much sparkle and shine that it can’t contain itself to December let alone after Thanksgiving anymore. And who’s really complaining? I’ll take my turkey with a side of (Southern) comfort and joy any day. Because when it comes down to it – if I didn’t go out and celebrate, I would be on my couch at home working… Keep Reading
Is it just me, or is there anyone else who cringes when asked about their 5-year plan? 10 year? 15? Woof. As a single mom in NYC – there’s just no real plan for life like that. Sure we plan and we save money “in case of” but you just never really know here. Things change so fast in this city it makes your head spin. One day you could… Keep Reading
