A few years ago my husband Pat chose to stop drinking alcohol. His reasons for stopping are his own to share, but I can assure you he did not have a drinking problem. 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 »

Did you know that, as long as you have access to clean water, you will die from lack of sleep before you die from lack of food?!? Don’t take any changes with your health- get… Read more »
There isn’t any time of year more steeped in tradition than the holiday season. The vast majority of families have things they do every year. Maybe it’s a certain meal. Maybe it’s a specific place they gather to celebrate. Maybe it’s an event like caroling or volunteering. These are things that people look forward to every year. My dad’s side… Read more »
We just celebrated Thanksgiving, so everyone is (or at least should) be thinking about everything they have to be thankful for. It’s been a lot time since I’ve done a thankful list, so I think it’s high time to rectify that! Please note these are in no particular order 🙂 #1 Pat. My husband is my best friend and my… Read more »
Typically I choose holidays to highlight that I want to celebrate myself. Today is an exception. Today is watermelon day. And I hate watermelon. I know this is crazy talk to a lot of people. Most people like watermelon. My nephew LOVES it. But I don’t. It smells OK, but it feels weird against my teeth when I bite into… Read more »
If there was ever a holiday that shows how much things have changed since I was a kid, it’s this one. Today is National Selfie Day. Oh sure, we tried taking the occasional selfie back in the day of film cameras. But we had NO idea of they would turn out until we finished the roll and got the pictures… Read more »
