My First Blog Award: Unexpected but Appreciated

One of my fellow WPLHers, Crystal, from The Self-Employed Writer, so graciously awarded me and 14 others with the Stylish Blog Award yesterday, which was really, really sweet. It’s nice to know she thinks my blog is worthy enough to be included alongside such other great reads. I’m continuing the trend here at my blog […]



It’s My Life: My Son Thinks He’s Mike Rowe

In the past I’ve written about the funny things that my kids have said or done. I’ve shared one of the most recent comments from my son with friends on Twitter and Facebook, and I thought it would be nice to share on it here, as well. I like the idea that stories about my […]



Pandigital Novel – Worth the Buy

This past Christmas was one of the best I’ve had for several reasons. The first reason is because of the FlyLady Holiday Control Journal. While I didn’t follow it exactly, though I did try my best, what I did do made a huge difference in my overall experience this holiday season. For once, I felt […]



A Source of Inspiration: Introducing Marissa Meleske

Achieving one’s resolutions, goals, whatever you want to call them, can be daunting — scary.

The New England Farm 2 Fork Project: Amazing Food!

Over the course of my life, I’ve tried some foods that some people would wrinkle their noses at, but for me, they’ve all been culinary experiences that I’m grateful for and will never forget.



Where Has the Time Gone?

In about a week and a half, on September 2nd, my youngest will turn 3 years old. It seems like it was just yesterday that I brought Blake home from the hospital, scared and clueless about how to take care of a baby boy. I can still remember sitting down to dinner that first night […]



Two of My Good Friends Need Some Help

Newsflash: OUR ECONOMY SUCKS! But you probably already knew that. Last night, I found out firsthand how much it truly blows. This month started out fantastic but it went to hell real quick like. And while I could easily bitch about the unexpected turn of events that last night delivered to me, I’m not going […]
