I, as an adult woman of a certain age, am not ashamed to admit that I listened to it last night on Spotify at midnight! Then I read several really good & thought-provoking reviews. And googled who Charlie Puth is. Then I fell asleep while watching “Modern Family”. And then I woke up this...

Okay. I’m not sure why you’re arguing w/ me. I think if you’ll reread my original post, you’ll see where I said something about how Mother’s Day is a difficult day for many w/ a lot of complex emotions. I even said that I sometimes have a hard time w/ the holiday. So I get it & understand &...

Well, since the OP asked for advice on questions to ask mothers of all ages in a Mother’s Day tribute video at her church, I feel okay assuming that her church maybe tends to focus on the traditional definition of the day. And, absolutely, I agree - all the different roles women have played in...

Absolutely!! Keep it light & sweetly touching, cute, & gently funny - a tribute to mothers of all ages & in all stages. It’s Mother’s Day, &, while, yes, it’s a hard day for many, I don’t think anyone really wants to be brought down (or brought down even lower if you’re already down) by...

Buggy - I’m in the south

I have sections in the refrigerator - butter & eggs & other dairy items on this shelf, drinks here, various jars there, leftovers here, vegetables in this drawer, meat & cheeses in this drawer, etc. And NO ONE puts anything where it goes, & my dear husband is one of the worst offenders. And...

We hosted yesterday - Ham Pineapple Dressing (or Pineapple Stuffing, if you’re not Southern) Hashbrown Casserole Baked Beans Broccoli Casserole Pasta Salad Apple Cranberry Slaw Veggie Tray Deviled Eggs Yeast Rolls Carrot Cake Easter Bunny Cheesecake Chocolate Lasagna Lemon Mousse Cups Mixed...

I have one. Our adult son has one, & I know several others who also have weighted blankets. I have anxiety & trouble sleeping & staying asleep, & the weighted blanket really helps. I take it w/ me when we travel - I have a bag for it. But they are a pain to wash though! My mom has...

The situation is very sad, & I hope they find him. I also feel sorry for his friends that were there. I don’t think the bar is responsible though because where does personal responsibility come in? If you’re old enough & mature enough to drink, I think it’s on you to figure out ways to...

Snakes are gonna snake. Have you seen the lizard escaping from a pit of snakes? (Snoop Dogg’s narrated version is the best.) I love all the animals in nature reels that float around! And, just to warn you, there’s a reel going around w/ a grandmother orca very impressively attacking a great...

On a beach w/ my husband

I bought some small gifts for our 3 kids that will be from both my husband & myself… I went w/ a black & red theme this year, so they’re each getting a black & red shirt, black & red buffalo plaid socks, a card game, a book, & a red heart-shaped box of candy. The card games are in black & red...

Jambalaya & King Cake for dessert!

Updated to add our names for the above unnamed dishes - For the Chicken Wings, we’re having a discussion… either “Wing It & Fling It” OR “No Body - Just Wings” for the song, “No Body No Crime” The Sausage & Cheese Dip w/ Tortilla Chips will be - “My Chips Ricochet ‘cause Look What You Made...

We’re hosting a ”Super Bowl - Taylor’s Version” Party! And we just finalized our menu: Kansas City Chiefs BBQ Pork Sliders Chicken Wings - [still need a cute Taylor Swift-themed name or maybe “Wing It & Fling It”] Pizza Rolls - “Welcome to New York” Sausage & Cheese Dip w/ Tortilla Chips -...

We tend to go w/ the following meal schedule w/ variations, of course: Sunday - breakfast for supper Monday - some kind of pasta Tuesday - some kind of Mexican Wednesday - some kind of meat w/ a potato (or other starch) & vegetable side dishes Thursday - some kind of casserole or maybe...

I don’t consider myself a Swiftie, but I do admit that I like a lot of her music, think she’s an excellent lyricist, & enjoy following the Travis + Taylor romcom. But I absolutely agree & felt a lot of second-hand cringe & embarrassment for Taylor last night. Celine Dion is an icon in her own...

Last night, my husband & I went out, & the kids fended for themselves (2 adults & 1 almost adult… they were fine & made some kind of tortellini sausage thing…). Tonight, it’s scrambled egg sandwiches on English muffins w/ tator tots & fruit.

We’re ordering pizza tonight. I even asked my husband to stop on his way home & get some Cokes to go w/ the pizza… it’s been awhile since I’ve had a really good cold Coke w/ a slice of pizza.

Tonight is Roasted Pork Loin w/ Baked Sweet Potatoes, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, & Fried Apples
