For Your Browsing Pleasure: Science, Puppies, and the House that Etsy Built

The weekend is upon us! Yeeehaw!!! It’s going to be a pretty busy one around here. It is the weekend the Vikings come to our fair Fauxwegian town! Literally, a bunch of Vikings come and set up their encampment in one of the local waterfront parks. Big men. Horned hats. Vests of fur. Boots of [...]

GoGosqueeZ for the Perfect Finish!

It was that time of year again – SCHOOL FUN RUN TIME! 3.1 miles of family feet pounding the pavement at varying speeds. Some kids took off – almost with fire on their heels! While others kept stride with family or friends as they chatted, cheered, and breathed a bit heavier than on a normal [...]

List Making / Making Lists / To-Do Lists: The ME Column

I posted this picture on my Instagram account and Facebook page today. While there are plenty of times I know what I’m going to write about… there are equally as plenty times I sit before my computer… with coffee perched dangerously close to my laptop… and an empty brain.   Like this morning. However, as [...]

A Case of the Mondays: In Which I Apologize to Monday.

“A case of the Mondays…” No one wants a case of THAT. But you know what? I’m going to go on record and say… Mondays get a bad wrap. And I want to apologize to Monday. It’s almost like Mondays are Mom and the weekends are Dad. Dad is wrestling with the kids and making [...]

Shot@Life gives global children just that… a shot at life.

Shot@Life is a movement to protect children worldwide by providing life-saving vaccines where they are most needed. And they are one year old THIS MONTH! A privilege that we have here in the United States is pretty good access to healthcare. Yes, many complain (even me) about the state of our system, but if we [...]

For Your Browsing Pleasure: Stuff On The Web

It has been a tragic and difficult week. Nationally, and close to home. I go round and round in my head about how or if to add my two cents to the billions of cents being spoken. We are all heartbroken. I don’t feel that my role here is to bring news. Nor expand on [...]

A note about getting stuff did and earning things.

I’ve been on a mission lately… Like 007, but with less international mystery. And they will NEVER want to make a movie out of it. Whoever THEY are… I’ve been TRYING to get a bit of a schedule in place because when my feet hit the floor in the morning, I often only know that [...]

Did you know flowers make people happy?

I don’t believe any of us need scientific evidence to know that flowers make people happy. I’m sure you don’t need to see scientific research for you to believe flowers make people happy. But there IS scientific research behind this claim. Check out my post up on the Flower Factor today!!! //-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-// Don’t forget to [...]

Weekly Round-up: Parenting Moments, Living to 100, Don’t Hate, and a Family-Friendly YouTube Channel Recommendation!

I’ve always wanted to be awesome at creating a weekly-round-up-type-thing, but until I get into the habit maybe I should call it AS-TIME-AND-ATTENTION-PERMITS-WEEKLY-ROUND-UP, OR ATAAPWRU. Or how about Weekly(ish) Round-up? Weekly(give-or-take) Round-Up? Hmmm. Hey. {Photo cred: One2One Network at Blissdom. Photographer: Kate Mackley} I am always coming across neat-o stuff here on the interwebz. I’ll often share [...]

I need to finish taxes… so how about a pogo stick?

It’s April 2nd and I need to finish-up my tax stuff. So instead of a long drawn-out post, I give you a child (mine) on a pogo stick. Honestly, I’d rather be doing anything besides tallying up receipts in an office with paper stacks taller than a step stool. I’d totes wear rubber boots without [...]
