My husband and I recently had some vacation time without kids, so we decided to head over to The Big Apple! We had been there once before but only briefly, so we wanted to really get to know the city this time (without spending a ton of money, hopefully).

It’s something that I don’t always think about, being in a family with four boys, but it is still such an important topic. Women have come such a long ways, but there is still so much further to ...

Here’s my shocking confession: As of January 1, 2016, I had not watched a complete Star Wars movie. Like, NONE OF THEM. I know, right? Now, because I was a child of the 80’s, I am quite familiar with the Gold Bikini and that scene where *spoiler alert* Darth tells Luke that he’s his old man, but that’s about where ... Read More »
It’s finally here! After a long, cold winter, we can finally celebrate the lazy days of summer!! Somehow, though, it seems like we went from frigid windchill temperatures to extreme heat overnight! Since our family moved out to a farm house in the country a number of years ago, we have been learning about staying cool without air conditioning! Most of the time it’s not too ... Read More »
