I’ve been married for nearly 30 years and I love my husband very much. If we’re being honest, there are probably very few (if any) other people on this earth who could put up with my nonsense. I’m difficult. I know that. Despite my love for my...
My bestie and I were chatting recently about a sequel to a book we both read. We both liked the original book, but couldn’t remember much about it. It just didn’t stick with us. We still planned to read the second one. On the other hand, we both...
I don’t have a bucket list per se. There are lots of things I want to do before I die, but I have not sat down and written out a list. That just seems so dark. However, I do keep a bucket list of sorts in my head that mostly involves all the places...
I will be the first one to admit, I can be a little judgy. I really do try to keep it in check, but I’m not always successful. It’s not that I think I’m better than anyone. I just have very strong opinions on right and wrong. I recently discovered...

One of my favorite days of the year is March 5. It is Gotcha Day for my family. For those of you not in the know, that is what most adoptive families call the day they got their child. We got Josie March 5, 2007. Goodness. It’s hard to believe it...
I may be becoming dependent on apps. In my defense, many on my devices are practical and help make life just a little easier. I’m also a fan of apps for self-improvement. There are certain apps you just have to have on your phone. I mean, seriously...
I’m very grateful I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. I’m often perplexed by my husband’s need for nightly ice cream. I eat ice cream maybe once or twice a year. He will also eat the hell out of some brownies, cookies, cake, pie or anything with...
