Just Another Barbershop Weekend #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
This past weekend was the yearly Barbershop Youth Adjudications for my daughter’s quartet (along with the adult International Prelims) in Harrisburg, PA. I was lucky enough to be able to spend the weekend as the quartet mom (aka world’s best chaperone), tagging along on all of their adventures in Pennsylvania. It was exhilarating and…
Sausage and Potato Skillet #SimplyPotatoes
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Simply Potatoes. All opinions are 100% mine. As much as I love to cook, I am not a fan of spending a lot of time in the kitchen most evenings. My afternoons are busy and more often than not, I find myself rushing…

A Change of Pace #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
A funny thing happened today. I went outside three different times. And I didn’t wear a coat. Remember last week at this time? We were about to start snow day number 3 of the week and we were literally buried under feet of snow. I remember trying to drive somewhere last Friday and finding…
2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review
It’s not everyday that this work-at-home mom gets to drive a car that turns heads. But when Mazda sent me a 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring PRHT (Power Retractable Hard Top) to drive for a week, that’s exactly what happened. This car is a head-turner. (Note: photos courtesy of Mazda, except for the…
