We’ve all said it again and again… 2020 and 2021 have been a HELL of a ride. A colleague of mine refers to it as the “corona-coaster.” I wonder what I will tell my grandkids about this year of my life? Some good things happened, some not so good things happened. I lost a jobContinue reading “A Year in the Life…”

Confessions of a Kissing Bandit
Many, many, many years ago on a small college campus in New York, a young woman set out to get a Bachelor’s degree in History. With her sights set on law school and armed a healthy obsession with all things historical, including bodice ripper romance novels, this exuberant young woman was eager to become theContinue reading “Confessions of a Kissing Bandit”
Oh Canada!
No, this is not an appreciation post for Canada’s delicious PM, Justin Trudeau; I am not blogging a love letter to the hottie from Ottowa. Though…whew, that man is REALLY easy on the eyes. We do not grow politicians that good looking by a long shot. This is some next level legislative eye candy, people.Continue reading “Oh Canada!”
No, I Actually DON’T Want to Come to Your Bag/Candle/Nail/Cleaning Product/Makeup/Purse Party*
*AKA, Confessions of a former Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. One may call me an utter hypocrite for this view; I was, once upon a time (circa 1997), a Mary Kay lady.

Rule-Breaker or People-Pleaser…which one are you?
Kiss All the Boys
I have two daughters that I am crazy proud of. They are both whip-smart, funny as hell (the apple does not fall far from the tree, dear readers), easy to be around and above all, kind. I know what you’re thinking, every parent says stuff like this. But I genuinely believe it to be true.Continue reading “Kiss All the Boys”
Lead with a YES
Many years ago, when my oldest daughter was small, a family friend offered to take her to a local amusement park. Our daughters were the same age and it was a nice opportunity for them to hang out a bit and get to know each other better. The trip would also include a trip toContinue reading “Lead with a YES”
I am the Anti-Karen*
*or at least I try to be. First and foremost, let me preface this by saying that I have a very dear friend named Karen. I think we can all say that, can’t we? We all have a friend named Karen and it’s sad that they have gotten a bad rap of late. I willContinue reading “I am the Anti-Karen*”
