Welcome to the scariest fall in the history of forever. And by scariest I mean I barely got used to summer and now school started and I need a nap. I don’t have too much to show for summer, except my kids are alive and happy and I grew a lot of tomatoes. We had a big […]

Sweet and Spicy
Hooray and Hallelujah! It sure took you long enough, weekend. We are… Celebrating: Back in the day, Mother’s Day was a Capital-E Event with brunches, nice dresses, and presents. But now I’m tired of those shenanigans. I work so much and my kids are running around all the time, so on Sunday I don’t want to […]
Pray the Vegan Away
First Born Son likes to hang out with his gang of rebels and go rock climbing, body building, and go to vegan restaurants. They are living the thug life. And yes, it makes me laugh that the way he rebels against me is to be an athlete and eat vegetables. He went completely vegan for the […]

Also reading this Sunday: Ann Royal Nicholas, Sarah Vance Tompkins, and Christine Ashworth. Y’all, this event is FUN. This is an ALL ROMANCE bookstore and there are […]
Olympics. Harry Potter. Spaghetti.
Hi Interwebs Friends! Are you watching the Olympics? Tell me what you like. I’m a swimmer, so I love to watch those amazing athletes fly across the pool. And I love it when you come across an Olympic sport and think, ‘Why the hell is this even a sport?’ and then an hour later you’re […]
Millennials Are the Coolest
And that is saying something, because I happen to love my neon legwarmer wearing 80’s generation. But my oldest son graduated from high school and it was amazing to watch. They have perfected the graduation ceremony – no more sweating in the sun listening to long, boring slogs masquerading as inspirational speeches. No, these kids […]
