I am beyond excited that our website was mentioned in The New York Times today! Last week I got an email from Steven Kurutz, features reporter at the New York Times.

It’s Election Day…Finally! (Enjoy Some Zombie Political Humor)
It’s been quite a year politically and I for one am happy it’s finally Election Day. To add some humor to what has seemed to be a particularly divided and nasty race, my husband and I threw a Halloween party with a “zombie politics” theme. And we poked fun at everyone… So just for fun, […]
Celebrate Life Now
“Special Occasions” When I was a little girl about the age of eight, I read a particular advice column article that has stuck with me to this day. The letter was written by an adult granddaughter who was cleaning out her grandmother’s house after her death. She found drawers full of beautiful linen tablecloths and […]

A Squirrel in a Box That Came in the Mail
It was a Saturday afternoon when I saw our mailman stop in front of the house and get out of his vehicle with a box. As he began the steep trek up our driveway I walked out to meet him halfway, already wondering what was in the box. I knew that I hadn’t ordered anything […]
Other’s “Unasked For” Opinions…What Do You Think
I was recently at a party and had an acquaintance tell me that my website would be “more popular,” or get more hits if I were more controversial, edgy, or made my personal beliefs better known. I asked specifically what they were talking about and was told I should do more stories on religion, politics, current events, etc. […]
A “Fifty Shades of Grey” Valentine Celebration
The movie Fifty Shades of Grey came out this week and from what I hear from others, it’s quite “steamy,” and something some of you might want to watch this Valentine’s Day with your honey. Or you could even pick up the book and take turns reading it aloud to each other… Of course the […]
Holiday Decorating…What Do You Think?
When it comes to the holidays, I’ve been known to go a bit overboard with the decorating.

Cooking On FOX 21’s Foxy Moms With Craig Coffey…Watch It Live
I love when Craig Coffey (from FOX 21 News Foxy Moms) comes to the house to “help” me cook. We whipped up a couple of healthy but delicious meals for less than $10 for a family of 4, and created a couple of recipes using oranges, which are super cheap right now. Cooking with Craig […]
