I had an experience today that I found so disturbing and upsetting, I really am unsure of what to do next. So I’m blogging about it. Advice please. So my 8-year-old son is in an Little League. I haven’t been in love with the league this entire season. It’s unorganized from the top down. There’s…
I spent the weekend in Tampa on what I thought was a fun belated birthday celebration away with my husband (more on that trip in a later blog!). I really thought that he wanted to just take a fun trip out of two to some fun restaurants and visit some friends I haven’t seen in…
I’m finding myself watching a lot of reruns lately. Movies like When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle. I’ve re-watched The Newsroom episodes an embarrassing amount of times to admit. I like that I know how the story ends. I’m scared for The Newsroom, Season 3, because I’m afraid it won’t end up the…
Happy birthday to my little Patrick. Today, he turns 8. It’s hard to believe. He’s always been my little cuddly boy. Thankfully, he still likes to cuddle and promises that he will forever. I will be holding him to this. I remember when he was born, my husband turned to me with a look of…
It’s tough to be a Spartan fan in Florida. We’re surrounded by Gator fans at every turn and it’s often challenging to find Big Ten games in area bars. We have been very lucky to have an active alumni association here in Central Florida. And we are even luckier that Orlando is a hot spot…
We had an amazing 2013 holiday season. It’s hard to believe that they have already come and gone. One of my favorite things was watching my son perform in his first school play. I was very impressed with how great the production turned out. He worked hard and practiced a lot. It was great that…
So there’s Thanksgiving, then Black Friday…then someone added Small Business Saturday…we take Sunday off (For God?) and then Cyber Monday. This year there’s something called #GivingTuesday and that’s tomorrow!!! So what’s it all about? From their website: We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals. This year help us create…
I view this post as a public service announcement to all parents. All that Halloween candy that you just don’t think anyone will eat, or should eat? Put it away and save it for Christmas!!! Not Christmas exactly, but it’s the perfect thing to help decorate your gingerbread house! Yes, I know, genius. I started…
I hate Halloween. Yes, I said it. I don’t like scary things. I don’t like the pressures of a Halloween costumes. Pumpkin carving is nasty and it just never turns out right. I do try to fake it for my kids. But overall, I just see Halloween as a blocker to my favorite holiday, Christmas. …
I know my last post promised to be very long. But as I approached the reunion part of our trip, I realized that I was going to need to dedicate an entire blog just to this topic alone. So I apologize. As you should totally know by now, we are a Michigan State University household.…
