Today is Pet Day! As you know from my posts (if not my logo), I love cats. I currently share my home with 3 black beauties- Hershey, Pumpkin (yes, she’s black) and Boots. All three of these fur kids came into my life in different ways- Hershey was my husband’s cat before he and I got married, Pumpkin came from… Read more »
Here’s an idea everyone can get behind- World Party Day! The idea comes from the book “Flight- a Quantum Fiction Novel” written 1995 by Vanna Bonta. At the end of this sci fi novel there is a worldwide celebration that takes place on April 3rd 2000. While not necessarily hugely important to the overall plot (which is pretty confusing to… Read more »
For a lot of people for a lot of reasons 2017 wasn’t a great year. Perhaps you lost a loved one or ended a relationship. Maybe you were the victim of a crime. Perhaps you were overwhelmed with politics either domestically or abroad. Regardless of why, a lot of people were very happy to see 2017 end. It’s perfectly OK… Read more »
Full disclosure- EVERY day is Don’t Make Your Bed Day at my house. There are several reasons for this, one of the biggest being that I consider it a profound waste of time. Apparently I’m not the only one. A fifth grade student in New Mexico named Shannon Barba actually wrote her Congressman asking that December 21st be named Don’t… Read more »
It’s time to have a serious discussion about a serious topic: Leggings. Yes, those amazing stretchy comfy garments that are God’s gift to women. But no one wants to see their gift misused- even the Lord. So, how do we make sure that doesn’t happen? Simple- we wear leggings as they are intended to be worn. How do I know… Read more »
Just over 2 years ago I rebranded my blog for the third time and also made the leap to WordPress. It was scary and more than a little painful, but I did it, thanks to the help and support of my dear husband as well as the encouragement of my (then) brand new North Iowa Blogger friends. It turns out… Read more »
Today is truly a day after my own heart (or arteries anyway). It’s greasy food day! Today is the day to give into your cravings for comfort good. Be that a burger fries, pizza, bacon, or whatever makes your mouth water. Why? Why not? Author Jessica Zafra sums it up the best “Greasy food may not be food for your… Read more »
Last week I wrote about some of the best information I took away from the Minnesota Blogger Conference. This week I’m sharing some of my more personal takeaways from that weekend- the ones that were unexpected and not necessarily related to blogging at all. #1 College days are special and too often taken for granted. This conference was held at… Read more »
It’s been almost 6 months since we welcomed Boots into our home and I’m pleased to let everyone know that Operation Add Third Cat is a success! No, we don’t have kitties holding paws and meowing Kumbaya together, but the hissing and the growling is virtually nonexistent and we’ve even caught all 3 of them sleeping on our bed together… Read more »
Today is a fun one! It’s vodka day! Rum used to be my spirit of choice, and I do still like a Bacardi Diet Coke, but vodka lemonades, vodka cranberries, and drinks like UV Blue and Sprite have become favorites as well. My husband is fond of screwdrivers. Martinis and Bloody Marys are extremely popular as well, so vodka isn’t… Read more »
