Scarier than the Sixth-Sense... Why is it that parents are needed ONLY at the most inopportune times? My husband and I can easily be doing nothing or at least nothing of importance. However, the second either one of us needs to cook, take a call or use the restroom - BOOM - it happens. Out… Continue reading The Kid-Sense

Garden Marinara via Samsung Galaxy
Our small garden this year has been producing in spurts. We will have a handful of tomatoes one week and the next - BOOM - tomato overload. With this batch I decided to try my hand at making marinara from scratch. After spending sometime trying to peel the tomatoes (with the help of my wonderful husband)… Continue reading Garden Marinara via Samsung Galaxy
The Weekend’s A Brewin’ via Samsung Galaxy
It's Friday morning and even though it is late August it feels like Fall. Cool crisp air with a slight breeze. After a brisk walk with the dog and taking the kid to her Summer program I decided that today was a REAL coffee day - not a Keurig morning. I ground my beans into… Continue reading The Weekend’s A Brewin’ via Samsung Galaxy
Savoring Shoes via Samsung Galaxy
Tuesday night something incredible happened. Something that may not seem like much to most people. I went shopping. Shoe Shopping. Yes, I get that sounds silly, BUT 1 year and 9 months ago I was paralyzed from the waist down. I am now able to walk - albeit differently since I have limited to no feeling… Continue reading Savoring Shoes via Samsung Galaxy
Limbo
A struggle I face as a parent is a balance between time spent with my child and time spent without my child (outside of school and the workday). It is a paradox when I finally get a night off from parenting duties and all I can think about is what my daughter is doing. I… Continue reading Limbo

Getting Lippy
So I want to start by saying I am NOT affiliated with Lipsense in any way. I actually had not heard of it until two weeks ago when my friend had an online party. In case you have not heard of Lipsense it is an extremely long lasting lipstick sold by independent consultants. After I… Continue reading Getting Lippy

Sometimes it seems as if life moves so fast that you can't catch your breath. Everything piles up - life keeps on happening. Day after day, week after week, year after year.... It passes you by. Work, chores, eat, sleep, work, family, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, work, chores, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep.... A… Continue reading The Spins
Generation Z
There are many positives to the advances in technology. However, there are some experiences that I am sad my daughter will miss out on. I am sure many parents have felt this way with their children as well with each new generation. Here is my list: Memorizing phone numbers (more than just their own) Talking… Continue reading Generation Z

The downside to working remotely – via Samsung Galaxy S7
As I sit here alone, at an upscale bar /restaurant sipping my Kinky Mango Sangria and savoring my Seasame Seared Ahi Tuni I contemplate my recent feelings of isolation. One year ago, as of August 1st I made the leap to becoming a remote employee. I was able to gain so many things; just to… Continue reading The downside to working remotely – via Samsung Galaxy S7
Punctuality Pet Peeves
Punctuality is important - IMPORTANT! It is a sign of respect. It shows others that you value their time. It is something that I don't think a lot of people recognize as being more than "on time." I cannot stand when people make me wait for more than 5 or 10 minutes. Tardiness is not… Continue reading Punctuality Pet Peeves

When your blood is on your hands…

When I became an adult…
Over the last 31 years I have experienced many moments where I have Officially became an adult. Here is a list of these pivotal moments:
Peanut Butter & Pickle Sandwiches
A hidden gem found from a game of Truth or Dare. Way back in 8th grade three of my girlfriends and I were having a sleepover. After the usual gossip, manicures and such we decided to play Truth or Dare. I always like to keep things exciting and tend to choose Dare.
