And so, I give you my greatest find of 2020 –… Keep Reading
We’re overly excited for the Big Game this year. I know the black and gold isn’t in it, but guess who else isn’t? That’s right – that evil team from the north (don’t need to name names here, we know). That means, we celebrate. I don’t know if you had a chance to watch some of the playoff games this year, but these two teams are worthy of the title… Keep Reading

The last time we had a decade change we thought the world was going to crash into Y2K. While there wasn’t exactly a cyber meltdown and mass hysteria, it is a good reminder to keep updated on what’s happening around you – especially in NYC. So make one of your resolutions this year to stay informed when an emergency happens. Emergencies can happen in a New York minute. From subway… Keep Reading
Crafting is for the brave and courageous. While I like to claim those quality characteristics, crafting just has never fallen into my column of “strengths.” Alas, I am a mom, and thus, I try and try again. I have lots of #nailedit moments and while Max is already 7, he still beams with pride to anything homemade we craft together to show off to his school peers (while I cringe… Keep Reading
I’ve been asked what we used to do when we got sick on the farm since we didn’t have doctors readily available. Well, we just – got sick. We toughed it out. We never went to a doctor unless you lost a limb – literally. We did (and still do) use glue to close up “wounds” that aren’t life-threatening. That’s just the redneck way. So to say we’ve come a… Keep Reading

Alas, it’s that time of year again – whether you love or hate holiday shopping. I kept it simple and easy this year so you can just be one and done and head off to do what really matters – drink and avoid your relatives. Family Matching Pajamas You know you’re going to participate – willingly or not, so why not have some fun with it this year? Instead of… Keep Reading
Gift-giving is hard AF, right? Unless you are some special Pinterest loving enthusiast with the crafting skills level Martha Stewart, it’s hard to know what to ever give those who are most dear to you. Which is sort of messed up, right? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. But, since we can’t just gift private islands in the Caribbean, let’s start small – it’s the thought that counts. Especially when… Keep Reading
