Breaking away from the day to day
I love decorating for the holidays. I have decorations for all of them, big or small. One decoration that is a must for all of the holidays is something on my front door. I have footballs for our local NFL and college teams, a watermelon for the summer, and a heart for Valentine’s Day. My…
You have decided, or someone decided for you, that you will set up the candy buffet, dessert table for a party or event. The very thought of it makes you tired. You browse through websites, DIY craft sites, and search the internet for an idea of something you can do that looks polished and put…
St. Patrick’s Day is just a couple weeks away and you know what that means…everything is GREEN and FUN! Kids are trying to trap Leprechauns and everyone is searching for that mystical “pot of gold.” I know what you’re thinking, isn’t St. Patty’s Day a day for great Shepherd’s Pie and fun cocktails? Yes. Yes,…
On Valentine’s Day, we like to stay in with the boys and enjoy a nice dinner as a family. We don’t see any need in fighting the crowds at busy restaurants just to prove that we love each other. I take requests from my men on what they would like to eat and we cook…
I have been married for 13 years. Lucky 13! Our marriage is a continued work in progress, but I couldn’t image going through it with anyone else! Even when the smallest things annoy me about this man, I still love him more and more each day. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. What are…

New Year’s Eve is a time for celebrating the end of one year and the anticipation of a fresh one with endless possibilities. It’s also a time for…CHAMPAGNE! I’m a huge lover of Champagne. Something about those little bubbles in your nose that make me feel so special and happy! With the approaching New Year’s…
We are down to the wire with holiday preparations. Just thinking about everything that needs to be done for the holidays can make you break out in a sweat. You may not have time for your regular workouts over the holiday season, but fortunately, there are many ways that you can incorporate exercise into your…
In our house, one of our most favorite times of year is Halloween! We love dressing up, decorating the house and doing all things spooky. (This is a very weird thing considering I’m a scaredy cat!) Not only do we like to have fun with scary stuff around the house, but we love scaring up some…
Your mom does so much…she feeds you, clothes you, gives you advice, kisses the hurt away, wipes your tears, and is your biggest fan. You’ve spent your whole life thinking of ways to make mom feel special on Mother’s Day, why not indulge her this year with ways that she won’t expect. Ways to…
