October 1. Holy (insert noun)!!!! Where has the year gone? I have a mild amount of anxiety building up with a mental to-do list for Christmas: take a family pic for cards (last year we took a break after 17 years–this year we are going to get back at it!!), get kids to start thinking

I went on a women’s retreat this weekend. I know that I’ll be processing this for days, but I do my best “thought organizing” when I write it down. So this is for me, for my amazing friends and family who HELPed me out and for YOU, if you’ve ever pondered a retreat. First of

I find myself muttering frequently, “why are we all so effing BUSY?” It’s ridiculous. It takes 2 hours and 25 texts for 4 women to decide on a mutual night to celebrate a 50th birthday. FOR. THE. LOVE. I’ve been mulling it over lately and I realized that actually WE are not really busier, but

All week long we go, go, go. You know that feeling, right? But then something magical happens and it is called Friday. The kids all have plans. The ocean is too rough for paddleboarding. Neither of us is very hungry. So we make a couple sandwiches and throw on our flip flops and drag our

Right now, I just came off Facebook reviewing all the back to school pictures that I missed this week……taking Facebook off my phone has been AMAZEBALLS, y’all. Truly. So freeing.

I don’t even know where to link up to #WIWS anymore. Or is it even a thing? Clearly I am not a fashion blogger. That’s ok though, because really I just wanted to share these AWESOME pants that I finally wore today—their Mass debut. Rating: A+ for super light and flowy material, very flowy and

At which point I remove Facebook from my phone. Again. And am taking the time to completely re-evaluate my friend’s list and purpose of my Facebook usage. However, one should never act in the heat of the moment and in these next few months……pause might be a better reaction. Rather than just slice and chop

Sunset tonight brings our vacation to an end. We finished up with the monumental task of buying a new (to us) vehicle–about as much fun as a visit to the dentist. Once we get a few things adjusted and it sits in our driveway it will be a little more fun, for now though it

The last time I took a 2 week vacation, I was 24. I took the week off from my (NEW) job before our wedding and the week after for our honeymoon. Every other vacation has been the standard week and for the last decade our vacations have consisted of traveling to see friends—which is GREAT,
