I’m sitting at LAX on a layover from San Jose to home in Maryland. My computer isn’t working, so I’m typing on my iPad while I eat a quesadilla with carne asada…hoping that this was an ok choice before heading on a 5 hour flight. Although I have so much I could say about…
Finding the Confidence to Step Out of My Comfort Zone #GoodNeighbor
It’s not every day that a post leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy, but this one did. This story is mine, and all thoughts and opinions are my own. I’m grateful to State Farm for giving me the prompt to write my thoughts down! This is my friend Kristin’s family. Kristin and her family…
The Non Importance of Being Liked and Things Being Fair
Please welcome my good friend, Jodi, who is guest posting today. Jodi is the mother of Michael, the blogger behind Jodifur.com, and a fellow DC-area resident (which means I get to bump in to her every once in a while…or catch a day-time, just-for-fun movie together). It used to really matter to me that…
Tips for Creating the Perfect Girls’ Night Out {Plus #PGBestForMe Giveaway}
These Girls’ Night Out tips and giveaway are sponsored by P&G through SheSpeaks. All opinions are my own. When my kids were little, Girls’ Night Outs were my lifeline.

Safire and Lolli {PSF Give Me Your Best Shot}
I’m not quite sure how to start this post. My best friend is moving away this weekend. I am thrilled for her family and frankly wish that I could pack my family up and follow her across the country (for more reasons that one!). But I am desperately missing her already. Safire and I…

8th Grade Graduation – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
Last night my 2nd daughter, Necco, graduated from 8th grade and took her next step towards high school. We went shopping together on Tuesday (way to be last minute, Lolli!) and found the perfect dress and sandals for her. My old tomboy, in a floral dress! How beautiful is my girl?! I thought it…

We Are Not Powerless… {In Honor of Susan Niebur}
Susan was a rocket scientist. I loved being able to say that I was friends with a rocket scientist (ok, technically an astrophysicist), as if some of her brilliance might rub off on me. Susan was a mother. A wife. A blogger. A friend. One year ago today, on February 6, 2012, those of us…
Malibu Grand Prix Racer {Drop-out} #YesMemory
I’ve always been a cautious driver. I’ve never had a ticket, and have never been pulled over for speeding. So I guess it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I was not exactly a pro at the Malibu Grand Prix when I was out in San Jose with YesVideo last month. Honestly, I was excited to let…
