After ordering our new sofa and coming up with a color scheme, the next step in our home renovation project was to start thinking about the fun accent furniture pieces. Frankly, it’s pretty much all we can do until the weather starts warming up so we can get ready for flooring and painting. The first [...]
It’s been so long since I’ve used this blog to talk about personal stuff, I honestly don’t even know where to begin. The last month has been really hard. Really fucking, emotionally-shattering, mind-numbingly hard. Death, divorce, birth, adoption. Some happened, some were just words tossed around, and some were lies I told myself were better [...]
This year, I’m trying to follow through with projects in all aspects of my life. January’s project was to start tackling some majorly overdue repairs and renovations at my house. In the past eight years I’ve lived in my family home after my father’s death, we haven’t done much in terms of upgrading our living [...]
The idea of picking a specific word as your “theme” for the year, instead of doing a list of resolutions has been a trend lately, and quite frankly, it’s a trend I really like. As I stepped away from blogging the past week to enjoy the holidays, I’ve been reflecting on the past year and [...]
While there’s only one or two varieties of wine that I’ll drink, when it comes to champagne, I’m a big fan. Maybe it’s the bubbles that make me feel fancy, maybe it’s the fact that it’s a drink usually reserved for special occasions . . . but champagne has always been my preference. And since [...]
I’ve found that my three year old godson, Jaden, has been one of the hardest people to shop for this year. Like every year, I pow-wow with his mom, who also happens to be my best friend, on what items he needs, or what toy commercials make him jump up and down with excitement. Since [...]
I received a store credit to Minted in exchange for this post. The past few years, Ben and I have gotten in the habit of sending out photo holiday cards. The first year, we hauled all three dogs on the sofa and tried to look like we weren’t screaming “SIT” “STAY” “LAY DOWN” in-between each [...]
While I’ve been to Florida a few times, to vacation at Disney and to visit my brother when he was going to school in Tampa, going to Universal Orlando has always been on my bucket list. Planning a vacation to the Universal Orlando Resort is now easier than ever, with the debut of the company’s [...]
I got an email the other day about a new line of automatic pet feeders that will be hitting the markets in December. I was not compensated for posting about it - but I wanted to share the info because I thought it was really cool for my fellow moms of fur-babies. The new Feed [...]

I’m happy to report that my root canal went well. I wasn’t expecting it to take multiple hours and multiple appointments, though. Next step is the crown fitting (to which my mother told me I would be a real princess then, with said crown) in a couple of weeks. The only real painful moment was [...]
