News these days is devastating and hopeless. I’m not too optimistic about the planet at the moment but it does force me to cherish every moment. So no matter what time I have to wake up in the morning, I always hit snooze a half dozen times to cuddle with Danny. This isn’t great for my … More Happy Friday
I’ve reached the point where my shirt kind of hangs there… the transition from second to third trimester has begun and I’m not sure I’m ready. The second trimester was a breeze. I’m still on the meds but they work so I can eat what I like (but with the luxury of no cravings). I … More Month 7
I have two cookie exchanges this month plus Cara and I always bake cookies together; therefore, a month a meals will be displaced for some cookie recipes! Next month we’ll think more of vegetables… Honey Peanut Butter & Coconut Cookies Key Lime Shortbread Cookies Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies Andes Mint Cookies Lemon Bar Cookie Cups Salted Caramel … More December Cookies
This summer Danny told me that now that we’re ‘officially’ a family he wanted to start his own holiday tradition of going to the Lions game on Thanksgiving Day and staying at a hotel the night before. I was skeptical of this pre-season enthusiasm for the worst team in sports history; however, I told him … More Thanksgiving Tradition
I enjoyed the holiday and look forward to the extended weekend. Tomorrow includes my 10 year High School reunion!!! It does feel like forever since I was last in school; however, a decade seems SO long ago! I was lucky and had a fun high school experience. My school, teachers and classmates were all great. No … More Happy Friday
I have always been blessed with good fortune but this year exceeds even my best wishes. An AMAZING husband who I love more than anything. Preparing for our little boy. Quality time with our favorite girl. Wonderful memories with supportive, loving and fun families and friends. Blog adventures, personal enrichment and enjoyment. Professional growth and satisfaction. … More Thankful
Not the best picture but a great memory. Last night I went to confirmation rehearsal with Madison, it was an honor to be asked and a fun aunt experience. I love all 14 nieces/nephews the same; however, Madison and I do share common interests that are hard to ignore. Namely, we’re both fangirls and writers. Fangirls … More Happy Friday
Watching The Good Wife. I watched it when it first started but haven’t for years. Boredom, Stockard Channing and Chris Noth got the best of me and I’ve started watching again – I’m satisfied. Also the Pistons – we love basketball. Reading… I waited a month for a couple books to come in from a hold but … More Currently
Friendsgiving is a holiday tradition we officially adopted last year and I think it’s here to stay. The potluck gathering brings together our wedding party peeps, delicious food and football – this Sunday it was a surprisingly momentous football game! We went low-key last year with pulled-pork as the entree but this time we went … More Friendsgiving
Week one of a new job and it’s wonderful and overwhelming simultaneously. Overwhelming in a fantastic way – it’s been too long since I was excited about work. Nevertheless, there are moments when I need a bit of a pep talk and yesterday, I broke out the sparkling cherry juice in lieu of wine. So … More Happy Friday!
