Say Something Nice Day
Usually I like to check to see if I’ve used a funny/ unusual holiday before I write about it. But this time I didn’t. Because today is Say Something Nice Day. If there has ever been a time when we need to say nice things to one another it’s now. Then again, has there ever been a time when saying… Read more »
Memorial Day
#MakeItOK
I have recently become aware of an organization called Make It OK. This organization is all about normalizing conversations about and removing the stigma around mental illness. Last Friday my employer encouraged us to wear green to support Make It OK and I was happy to participate. This is, of course, a cause near and dear to my own mentally… Read more »

Happy Anniversary to us!

And, as I do from time to time, I want to help all these happy couples have a long and happy marriage by adding mine to the long list of (mostly) unwanted advise these folks are going to get. I’ve covered this topic a lot… Read more »
Patting Myself on the Back
Many moons ago when I started blogging I really didn’t know what I was getting in to. I didn’t ever think I would be going to conferences to learn how to blog better. I didn’t ever think I would be a member of a bloggers group. I didn’t ever think I would have social media accounts devoted to it. It… Read more »
Spouse’s Day
Today is Spouse’s Day. The origins of this holiday are lost to time, but we know it’s been around since the mid 1980’s. But does that really matter? I say it does not. This is another easy one to celebrate. Go tell your spouse how much you appreciate and love them. Perhaps even make them a meal or do… Read more »
