5 Ways to Be a Good Potluck Dinner Guest Potlucks are a very popular way for church and school groups or large offices to throw a celebration with lots of food. It keeps costs down and you get a huge variety of food for relatively little work on the hosts part. People are typically split down the middle when it…
From Kristen – I met Dara last year at a conference that I oversee and fell in love with her and her story. Dara started her site as a way to chronicle the battle she had with breast cancer and offer support for others going thru a life changing illness like she did. Dara decided to embrace her crazy, perfect,…
We’re a stressed out group of people, aren’t we? We stress over the kids, the marriage, the job, the money, the bills, the car. The only thing we don’t stress about is stress itself. My Grandfather’s wife sent this via email today and I just loved it. It was sent with the “pass this on to 10 people” line (hate…
Oh, sleep… How I miss you… Our oldest is 17 years old. Which means that it’s been 18 years since I’ve had a decent night’s sleep. I miss sleep. I covet sleep. I am starting to wonder if all those time when I was partying in my 20’s and laughed and said “Hah! I’ll sleep when I’m dead!” is coming…
Do You Recognize these Annoying People on Facebook? The longer Facebook is around, the more annoying people get. It used to be that it was game requests and poking (still…does ANYONE know what that really meant?!) were the most annoying things to see but nope… it keeps getting worse.

It’s raining here and I’m not sure about you, but between the post-sugar crash from Halloween and just an over all busy weekend, I’ve been eyeing my bed all day. Now that I’m snuggled up in it watching The Good Wife (OMG can we talk about Jeffrey Dean Morgan on the cast this year?!), I’m remembering the days that it was…
Turning 40 was no big deal for me. As a matter of fact, I was actually pretty stoked for it. In my mind I had gotten to the age where I really and truly didn’t care what people thought of me and I stopped checking to be sure my filter was fully in place before I opened my mouth. Then…
The REAL Meaning Behind Closing Time – I know what this song means to me so I was a little blown away to find out how close MY interpretation was to HIS! For me, I was pregnant with my first girl and while I wasn’t trying to move her out of my womb, I knew that I was closing the…
This post was a lot better in my head but as I started digging around YouTube for stupid, funny videos I realized they were either not funny, too stupid or NFSW. So you have these two. The first one is worth 5 of them, trust me. We’re at the 10th day of the year and so far, I’ve stuck to…
I saw a post this past weekend (on Cathy E’s Facebook page!!) of the tribute to Billy Joel when he received his Gershwin Prize and it was… a celebrity filled sing-along of Piano Man and was fabulous, of course! I started thinking abotu all the incredible songs that we all sing really, really loudly when we hear and them especially if…
