You might remember not too long ago, I wrote about attending a virtual wine tasting. I don’t know if you’ve found any of these events but they really are a lot of fun. Recently we had a little theater and Christmas cocktail time with friends all, you guessed it, virtually. There’s an app I use […] Read more…

Lessons my kids learn watching me exercise
Looking back, I don’t know when I first jumped onto the exercise bandwagon. I wasn’t super active in college. I barely used the gym there. It was after graduation that I really started to get interested in working out. I joined a gym and haven’t looked back since. I’m a work in progress physically, but […] Read more…
When the world is open, will you be?
I’ve been thinking a lot. It’s a side effect of being in the house so much. I’ve been hearing people talk about all the things they will do when “the world is open” since the pandemic started. I have some ideas about what I’d like to do, but at the same time, I wonder if […] Read more…
Wine tasting… in a pandemic!?
One of my closest friends lives about forty minutes away. We used pick a restaurant about half way for both of us and meet up for girlfriend time and dinner. It was our Mom’s night out. My husband always joked that on those nights he didn’t expect to see me home until at least 1am. […] Read more…
I’m back on the reading bandwagon… Here’s what I’m reading
If I’m being honest, my regular reading had been thrown way off. I was way too distracted to finish a book, once this pandemic was in full swing. I’d try to read for the sake of distraction and escape but I couldn’t seem to finish a book like I used to. Well, I’m happy to […] Read more…

We are in the perfect scenario for running ourselves ragged but burning the candle at both ends is crazy […] Read more…
Another Year Older + Grateful
Gratitude is an attitude we should carry with us every day, right? There’s one day in the year though that I’m EXTRA grateful. It’s my birthday!!! This week, I completed another trip around the sun. I’m another year older and in this current state of the world that is something to celebrate! Initially, I thought […] Read more…
Turns out, it’s all trash
Every now and then we like to introduce our kids to things we loved when we were their ages. It’s funny to see their reactions to things we used to wear or do. One thing that we’ve kind of bonded over has been the stuff we grew up watching. We have introduced them to Thundercats, […] Read more…
What Do You Do With an Idea?
One of my favorite spaces to hang out probably won’t surprise you. I read – a lot. It’s not shocking to anyone that knows me that I love a good book store. I wish there were more indie bookstores around me. Those are the best. They just have a character to them that you can’t […] Read more…
What have you learned in lockdown?
Here’s the thing. Being in lockdown is a whole other beast. It can bring out the best in people or the absolute worst. I’ve seen some marriages tested because being around each other ALL THE TIME is tough. Everyone needs some time alone at one point or another. My husband and I have been making […] Read more…
