Shaking things up a bit…

Hello? Is this thing on? Yes, it’s been a while. And I don’t really have a good excuse except for, well – life. Life as a busy parent to three teenagers – which, by the way, WHEN did that happen? Life definitely gets away from us at times, doesn’t it… I’ve gone back and forth […]

Finding myself

Deb-Sep2017 004

This past weekend was Ron’s and my 18th wedding anniversary. In so many ways remembering back to before ‘this’ life of wife and mother is difficult. In other ways it seems like just yesterday that we said ‘I do’. I generally can track the stages of my life according to decades. I was born near […]

Life with teens and a tween

I look back on what my life was like a decade ago and realize just how much things have changed. Well, some things haven’t – I am still the mom of three daughters. We live in the same house, in the same city. I drive a minivan and spend a lot of Saturdays at the […]

Hannah’s Make-A-Wish Come True

HannahsMakeAWishCake-001_thumb.jpg

I never thought that we’d be ‘that’ family. You know, the one with a child whose life-threatening illness qualified her for a wish through Make-A-Wish (MAW). At first, it never occurred to me that Hannah would be qualified for a wish. I thought, like many people do, that only kids with terminal illnesses qualify. And […]

Making the Most of Weekend Travel Plans

MarchingBand-StateFinals2017 008

With both of my older girls in marching band and our youngest still playing AYSO soccer, it’s pretty much a given that our October weekends will be full. We used to be able to take some day trips to pumpkin patches or to visit friends, but free weekend time is much more limited than it […]

Runner with an (almost) capital R

Running-Aug2017 003

Earlier this year, I began running for the second time. I had started running back in 2014 and kept it up for a good couple of years on a regular basis. Even through the 10 months of Hannah’s chemo treatments. Not only was it good exercise, but it was badly needed stress relief as well. […]

Autumn then and now

30812366762_1f242f10b8_k

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. As a kid, it meant heading back to school, playing in (and raking) tons of leaves in our yard, and looking forward to Halloween and my birthday. When I was a single, working adult there wasn’t much different about the fall from other seasons, but I […]

Ten years: from toddlers to teens…

GirlsSittingOnSideofFrontPorch_003_thumb.jpg

On May 30, 2007, I decided to start a blog. This whole ‘blog’ things was relatively new at the time, but I’d been reading several of them at work on my lunch hours and thought I’d give it a try. I was a full-time working mom of a 6-year-old, 4-year-old and and 16-month-old. At the […]

Review: Reliefband #LifeChangingTech #sponsored

Greenfield-Village-carousel

When I was a kid, I wasn’t afraid of motion. Spinning, twirling, rolling – I could do it all. The only times I can remember having an issue with motion sickness were when I attempted to read in the backseat of a moving car, so I learned pretty early on to avoid combining books and […]

Exploring the 2017 Detroit Auto Show–Hyundai and Hope

DetroitAutoShow2017 183

As a lifelong Michigander who grew up in the Detroit suburbs, I’m certainly well aware that #DetroitLovesAutos. My grandfather and uncle both worked (and retired from) one of the ‘Big Three’ car companies. The state’s economy has always been tied to how well (or poorly) the auto industry is doing. But until this year, I’d […]
