I’ve been talking/ writing about my dearly departed Pumpkin and the always surprising Lilly (aka Lil’ Miss Mayhem) a lot, but today we are going to talk about my BFF Boots. Last week we marked Boot’s 6th “Gotcha Day”. For those unfamiliar, Gotcha Day is the day you adopted/ “got” your fur baby and is the alternative for when you… Read more »
There isn’t much better than a good meal shared with good people. Today I was able to celebrate Easter with my dad’s side of the family including my cousin who lives in Las Vegas and her 5 month old daughter. Granted, the baby had everyone pretty well distracted with her cuteness and newness. But there wasn’t any little digs taken… Read more »
You have a cold, cold heart if you don’t appreciate today. It’s Cuddly Kitten Day! Who doesn’t love a cuddly baby animal? We’ve all fallen victim to falling down a YouTube or social media rabbit hole of cute babies at least once, right? Of course you have! In 2021 friends and family of me and my husband enjoyed the escapades… Read more »
There are days when I don’t think there is any way we can come back together as a nation. When COVID didn’t do it I thought nothing could. But I was wrong.

Pat is fine with me having an occasional cocktail. He is fine with anyone drinking in moderation- he just chooses not to himself. I think most people… Read more »
Today is a day to put on your Mr. Rogers or your Big Bird hat! It’s Do a Grouch a Favor Day. We all know someone we refer to as a grouch (or something even worse). Because of their demeanor, they aren’t people we typically go out of our way to help. That’s just human nature. But today, think outside… Read more »
One of the things people ask me all the time is why I love the Food Network so much when I am by my own admission a terrible cook. There are a lot of reasons- I am a complicated creature. But here are the top 3. #1 They are a great way to decompress. Most people have at least one… Read more »
Are you like me? Do you have, like, 3 passwords that you use for everything even thought EVERYONE tells you it’s a bad idea? Then today is for you. Please just do it. Yes, it’s a huge pain in the ass. Yes, it’s hard to think of new passwords all the time. But it’s important. So just do it.
There are two things I think everyone learned this week. #1 We as a nation CAN still come together. Everyone was on team Damar Hamlin this week. Didn’t matter who you voted for, or if you knew anything about football. Everyone was rooting for that young man to recover. #2 Famous people are people. We look at celebrities- be they… Read more »
