A few years ago I decided I wanted to (eventually) get my nose pierced but up until this week, hadn’t done it. Money and time was always a factor. Well…I finally did it! While at the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester, NH, my husband told me I should get it done since we had…

Keep Good Going Life Lessons & How We’ve Helped My Daughter #ad
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of New York Life for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Like the young lady and her family in the video above, my fiance and I have worked hard to build my daughter up during this year’s past track and field season so she would…
What Happened to My Glasses? #EvenMomHasFlightyMoments
One of the topics I love to write about on this site is the things my kids say that make us laugh. Every day is something new with them. There are days they make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts. But today’s post isn’t about something one of the kids said. Today is about…
Wedding Planning: It’s Not Only About the Bride
With our impending nuptials only a few months away, we are currently in the hardcore wedding planning stage. We’ve made a to-do list. Checked it twice. And slowly we are crossing items off it as WE complete them. And yes, I stress WE! I may receive some flack from some brides-to-be for what I’m about to…
How do I get back on track? Advice, please!
For the last month things have been crazy insane around here and it has impacted this site significantly. We went away for Valentine’s Day and when we got back we only had two weeks before school vacation started. During that time we had some snow days. And then two days before February vacation started, my…
The Wait is Over: We’re Officially Engaged!

Not everyone wants to tie themselves to another person. And that’s their right. But we, however, believe…

Today is My Daughter’s 12th Birthday
I can’t believe this day is finally here. I can’t believe my daughter is now a 12-year-old. I’ve tried to avoid thinking about her impending birthday over the past few months because it made me sad to think about it. I’m sad and happy every year when her birthday rolls around, but this year is…
Yes, I Work From Home
And no, it’s not because I’m lazy, contrary to the belief some hold. Although, I admit, there are days I feel like a complete failure because my TO DO List isn’t completely checked off. I end up feeling lazy because I didn’t accomplish everything I wanted to in one day. And I do…
