This past week there has been a lot of talk online about Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi announcing their engagement. Yes, Jake is the son of Jon Bon Jovi, but that’s not the reason people are talking. The main conversation centers around Jake being only 20 years old, and Millie only 19. I agree with the majority of folks… Read more »
No matter if you have cats, dogs, ferrets, or something else, today is the day to celebrate your pet! I have written a lot about my cats and everyone who knows me knows how important they are to me. We all went on the journey of Lilly’s pregnancy and babies together and to this day people ask about those kittens!… 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 »
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. Turns out there still is one thing everyone can get behind regardless of who they voted for or how they feel about vaccines. And that one thing is… Read more »

As more and more of our lives are in the cloud, we become less and less connected to the people right in front of us. Many of us don’t know the… 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 »
Today is Spouse’s Day! It’s easy to start to take your spouse for granted after you’ve been together for a long time. They’ve just always been there. Everyone wants to feel wanted and appreciated. You do, so of course your spouse does too. You don’t have to make a grand gesture today. Maybe you just tell them something you love… Read more »
I’m currently in the midst of having the house to myself for about a week- my husband Pat is on a trip to LA with his buddy. But this isn’t going to be another post about why separate vacations are normal and healthy for couples (although they are both). This is about being alone. Not lonely, but alone. Yes, I… Read more »
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 »
2022 was one helluva roller coaster. We have all had a lot of ups and downs. So here’s my high level look back at 2022. The good, and bad and the ugly. The good: My nephew graduated from high school with honors. He is now in technical college studying welding. He is an amazing young man and I am so… Read more »
