I cannot believe back-to-school time is almost upon us. I am sort of in denial, although I am a little more ahead of the game than normal – which means I have probably forgotten something really important and just don’t know it yet.

I’m going to be 49 this year. Forty-nine. I can’t decide how I feel about that. I’m happy I’ve survived this long and that I’m living a relatively happy, healthy and productive life, yadda yadda yadda, but that nagging little inner voice keeps whispering “you’re old.” Make that screaming…my inner voice is a loudmouth.

The best, easiest crockpot chicken recipe around! I love my crockpot. If I were clever and poetic, I would write an ode to my crockpot. If I had to name one thing in my kitchen that I absolutely can’t live without…well, it’s actually my Keurig, but my crockpot is a close second. We live in…
If you’re an introvert, you can still rock a blogging conference…oh yes you can! I’m an introvert. Someone once told me I was an extroverted introvert but I’m not sure what the hell that really means. I am not shy. I like people but I like them in small doses. Most of the time, I’m…

I’m the mom who completely brain dumped and missed the deadline to sign up for…

If you have not seen this movie your pop culture education is severely lacking and I’m not sure we…

I’m not shy but I’m an introvert. I like other humans but I have a limited tolerance for “peopling”—you know, cocktail parties, wedding receptions, any place where small talk is on the menu. If I have to attend an event where a “Hello, My Name Is” nametag is offered, anxiety will be my plus one….
