A Star in My Universe
After Death - More than a Movie
That is the focus of the intriguing film, “After Death” in theaters now. It is a documentary wherein actual survivors of near-death experiences share their true stories of what they saw and lived in those moments on the other side.
Work + Mind Connection
When the phone battery hits 10% - it’s time for a recharge! And just like the phone, sometimes we need to plug in. Fill our emotional and mental batteries with some self-care or even a little moment to breathe.
Trying to be Chronically Rested
If you’ve been around this place lately, you know that chronic pain is a real thing for me and I talk about it a lot. It’s really more common than many may think. In fact, millions in the US suffer from it. While pain certainly makes aspects of life harder, it really hits at bedtime. Sleepless nights are extremely common, meaning zombie days to follow.
Sweet Smile from Sweet Slime
My sweet Aslyn loves candy and loves trying new things. The kind folks at Crickets Candy Creations invited us to visit their store but life had different plans for this summer. When they heard that, they shared these fun slime kits for us to try. We are very thankful for their understanding during our difficult time and for this fabulous gift.
Being Fit is the Real Treat
Do you need to trick yourself to get the work out you know you need? It has taken everything to get me to do it. I mean everything!
Stable? At Least, On my Feet
If there is one thing that's absolutely essential to our health and longevity as we age, it's physical stability. We often refer to it as “balance”, and not in that work/life way. Here we’re talking about maintaining a good core to prevent falls or injuries that can have consequences, not just in later life, but now. So, what are the best ways to ensure that stability?
Keeping Mental Health in Check
Trying to manage mental health often seems like an uphill battle. No matter what we do, it can seem like nothing is helping but It’s worth focusing on the right strategies and getting the help you need to get through it. It took time for my family to get the help we need but we will never regret working for it. While it might take some time, you can feel better.
No Trust Falls Needed
We moved to Buffalo seeking change and growth. It was another hard thing, leaving everything and almost everyone we knew. We believed, however, that it was what we needed. This little adventure was a reminder that we were right in that belief.
It’s Not Business, Only Personal
I am loathe to share anything about the show other than it was my FAVORITE current show. I hated it ending.
My only consolation is that “Succession: The Complete Fourth & Final Season” will also be available to purchase on DVD on September 12. “Succession: The Fourth and Final Season” and “Succession: The Complete Series” are available now to purchase Digitally from Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu, and more.
BEACH Aware
I have proudly worked with Ovarcome for the last five years to spread awareness. This year we are working hard to help share the beach symptoms through a new campaign called #teachthebeach. I hope you will join me by sharing these five letters with those you love. It could save a life!
Eating Better and Other Stories from “I Know I Should, So What’s Stopping Me”
We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat.” While it was originally coined to encourage people to lose weight, there is some truth in those words when it comes to healthy eating. The food we eat directly fuels our bodies. It provides energy, as well as essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that we need to be healthy.
Let’s get Schwifty: Rick & Morty are Available Across the Multiverse and DVD
OOH WEE! Rick & Morty is a favorite in our household and has been for a long time. So we were ready to go on an intergalactic adventure across the multi-verse with the release of the Rick and Morty: The Complete Seasons 1-6 boxed set on Blu-ray™ and DVD.
Let’s get SPOOKY!
If you’re like me and like to decorate every nook and cranny for Halloween, this is for you!
With Friends Like These…
I love it when I get to learn about great shows from my children, That way we can share in it together. That is the case for me with the animated hit, “Smiling Friends”. Also, if you know anything about me, you know I love the title.
A Ghoul-ishly Good Time
My girl may have grown up (though she still has a handful of dolls) but guess what? So has Monster High. With its latest film, Monster High, The Movie. Nickelodeon has brought the daughters of our favorite horror characters into the live-action world.
Little People, Big Leaps
Your baby’s development is important, especially within its first year. While my babies bodies are grown (or almost),it wasn’t that long ago that mine were teetering and toddling all over.
As I watched their bodies stretch and grow at crazy rates, inside their minds were matching or even exceeding this growth. They were experiencing the world for the first time and their brains soaked up the world like tiny sponges every waking second. It was an exciting thing to watch and a learning experience for me
It’s Never too Early to Spread Cheer
When Old World Christmas approached me about their beautiful ornaments, of course, my heart leaped. I can’t wait to hang a couple on my tree. But that is a little bit away. Today, I am more excited to share this amazing contest that they are hosting.
A Clean Trade Out
I have been writing about changes I have been making in my home to try improve our sustainability. Recently, I was gifted a new product to try and I love it.
Should I Stand for This?
Recently, the last one has moved beyond the living room into the office. Standing desks have quickly become the newest buzzwords in office ergonomics; so let’s take a stand (pardon the pun) on this issue and examine if these towering worktops truly live up to their hype or not.
I’ve Unleashed My Wanderlust: Discovering Solo Travel
So, here’s a confession. I have never traveled alone. But many of my friends have and they tell me how empowering it is. Now that I am solidly in the sixth decade of life I am ready to venture into this realm of travel - the exhilarating world of solo travel. So I thought I would take you with me on a deep dive into the kind of soul-stirring, solo vacations that every globetrotter (or wannabe) should be brave enough to embrace at least once.
