Because you can never really have enough holiday gift ideas. Or parties! At least I can’t because I am (1) the world’s worst gift giver and (2) never have time to research and get creative. So I depend on these lists. And I know you hear me out there – you depend on them, too! So after crashing the annual Momtrends Holiday Party (even after trail biking all day upstate… Keep Reading
I have a love-hate for running. When I tell friends this – they look at me shocked – why would I run if I don’t love it? Well, I think there are a lot of folds to this – and many of them are mental, not physical. Running is all about mental capacity. If you tell yourself you’re running 20 miles today, you will do it. If you get up… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. I am basically the worst gift giver out there. I am terrible at ideas, wait till the last minute, and apparently don’t listen and make lists on what people really love in order to get it for them. But people are HARD to shop for, and in the world where you can get anything literally within the same day or next day delivery, it’s hard… Keep Reading
When I say my son has become a water park connoisseur by the age of five, it’s a status earned. He has visited many across the country, some more than once, and can give you a detailed breakdown of everything he loves (or doesn’t love) about each one. But one of my all-time favorites to top the list over and over is Great Wolf Lodge. It really comes down… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Everpro Gray Away. All of the thoughts and opinions are my own. When I was in my twenties, I flew to Florida with my boyfriend at the time to visit his sister, who was conveniently married to a Miami Heat starter. These trips were always glamorous with trips to Taco Bell in a Maybach, personal training sessions with Derek Jeter’s own guy, followed by massage… Keep Reading
When I was in my twenties, I lived with two roommates in a massive house on top of Mount Washington in Pittsburgh. We had an open door policy – it was always open. And there was always people there. I loved that on a random Tuesday night friends would just stop by to have a smoke on the front porch – and we would all sit up for hours laughing… Keep Reading
As organized and prepped as I am in work – I am always a last minute gifter. Hence me writing this article ON Thanksgiving as the turkey is cooking in the oven so you’ll have it in time for Black Friday deals kicking in tonight. In fact, I am really a bad gifter. I never know what to get anyone, including myself. We live in a time where everything is… Keep Reading
This post was sponsored Tai Pei, all opinions expressed in my post are my own. I haven’t been home in two weeks. I’ve been coast to coast, across time zones and planes trains and automobiles. Literally. Sometimes I don’t know what way is up. Honestly – have you ever woke up in a hotel room and not known where you are? San Fran? Great Wolf Lodge? (ok….so maybe some of… Keep Reading
Who doesn’t love the holidays as a kid. You look back and remember magical moments, twinkling lights and tons and tons of food. There was never a shortage of food. I still remember the food. We weren’t your “let’s sit down and eat” kind of family, it was more of a wild messy and chaotic pot luck. There were always tons of people in and out visiting all day, and… Keep Reading
I grew up on a farm – probably as country as one gets. I don’t think anyone in my family ever thought I would go city, and here I am breaking stigmas since 2010. The funny part is – if you don’t know me that well, you would never guess that I used to milk cows, drive tractors and own a few pair of cowboy boots, and love shopping for… Keep Reading
