So…eco-friendly kitchen stuff. Here we are. I have never been what anyone would describe as crunchy or granola. As a matter of fact, most self-proclaimed crunchy granola people get on my nerves. There’s just something…I don’t know…sanctimonious about telling everyone how crunchy and granola you are. Now. I’m not a wasteful person who hates the […]
Everything I know about Uranus – A newbie’s guide to Uranus Missouri
If you meet me for the first time, your initial assessment might include words and phrases such as “uptight” or “resting bitch face.” You probably wouldn’t guess that inside me lives the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy. Now you know, so it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that when I had the […]
Don’t ask me how much my kids cost
Don’t ask me how much my kids cost. Just don’t. Don’t ask me how much my kids cost. Here is why. “How much did that set you back?” “That” was my chubby 2- year-old nestled in my arms as I stood in front of a community bonfire. It was a bit late for my little guy to […]
So…about this 30-day writing challenge
When I first started my blog, I got a lot of advice. Some I paid attention to, some not. One of the pieces of advice I ignored was “post every day.” I didn’t see that as realistic and although I always have stuff to say, I had – and still have – that quality over […]
A Blindfold and a Rubber Chicken #PicturedNotPictured
So…I’m doing this 30-day blogging challenge. I supposed I should get around to writing an actual post about that, explaining why, but today isn’t that day.

Onward is coming in 2020
I’m so excited to see what’s next at the movies in 2020. 2019 was – and is – a year of sequels and live action remakes. I love seeing familiar stories continue and I love seeing animation come to life. I love seeing my kids embrace Disney movies in their own way. And I love […]
New Orleans Beyond Bourbon Street – Things to do in The Big Easy Besides Rue de Bourbon
I went to New Orelans on business about 100 years ago. I made the obligatory trek to Bourbon Street and saw young women flashing their boobies in exchange for shiny plastic beads, watched an elaborate drag show, and rocked out to the acoustic version of “Baby Got Back.” Bourbon Street is good fun, but New […]
Deluxe Resort Experiences at Disney World that other Hotels Don’t Have
When I was a little bit younger, I saw a hotel as just a place to crash. While it certainly is that, there is more to a hotel than just the room. Traveling with kids has changed the way we travel and has changed what we prioritize was important when choosing a place to crash. […]
