Dear Coca-Cola, Congratulations, you have officially ruined 2017. You just announced that you are replacing my beloved Coke Zero with Coke Zero Sugar. And you are doing this ASAP. Like, can we all just take a minute to process this news? You are claiming this reinvention of MY FAVORITE DRINK is especially for people seeking […]
I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life. And by that, I mean that it has always been something I’ve had to think about. I can’t eat what I want all the time, because it shows up on my hips about five minutes later. Countless times, I’ve looked in the mirror or seen […]

As commercialized as some people think Valentine’s Day is, I have to admit that I absolutely love this Hallmark-inspired holiday. The overload of pink, the conversation hearts, and the overpriced roses make my heart flutter. Yes, I am a complete sucker for all things Valentine’s Day.

Our friends host the party in their cul-de-sac because they’ve got great neighbors and the perfect set up for this kind of event. When we arrive, the dads take the kids […]
It’s Christmas Eve 2015, and I am running around my house like a crazy woman trying to get everything ready for our annual Christmas Eve party. I remember it like it was yesterday. We’d just put the boys down for a nap, and I was about to vacuum. And it hit me. I had forgotten […]
As the long, hot summer draws to a close, I wanted to make sure we checked off as many things as possible on our family’s Summer Bucket List … and I saved the best for last! My three-year-old is obsessed with all things related to fire trucks. Firemen, fire stations, even fire hydrants – he LOVES it […]
I married into a family that takes four things in life quite seriously :: Family, Christmas, Trolling Nick Saban, and Tailgating. For more than 20 years, my in-laws have tailgated at LSU, and if you know anything about SEC tailgating, you can imagine that this family does it right. Like they’ve won awards for how […]
