Hubby: "Do you know what today is?" 5 year old: "Family Day!" Hubby: "Yes, AND football Sunday!" Last weekend my hubby woke up, donned his Jets t-shirt and hat, and headed to the market to pick up some game day finger foods. I guess you can say I'm a football widow, a baseball widow, and a fantasy sports widow. My husband is into his sports and if you don't go along for the ride you get left behind. Yeah, it's nice having a day to myself ...

Driving Awareness to a Worthy Cause
Although I was young, I remember when my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. We weren't allowed to talk about it or tell people why she was sick. When she would explain her "condition" she would always whisper as if she was offending someone. I didn't think twice about her secrecy, I didn't know any better at that age. With breast cancer awareness month just two weeks away, I'm happy to see society has come a long way. Not only are ...

Cascade Was Made for Our Dishwasher. Enter To Win a @MyCascade Prize Pack! #DDDivas #CascadeShiningReviews #sponsored
When I invited my friends over for snacks and dish-washing chit chat, many of them decided this get together was going to be much less fun than other parties I have hosted. Who really wants to talk about washing dishes? I should tell you that I'm finally the proud owner of not one, but TWO dishwashers. The dishwashing gods heard me begging, crying, and complaining every time I had to hand wash a dish. When we lived in an apartment, we didn't have ...
