By Contributing Writer Ami: My 30th birthday was epic. Yep, I know it’s a totally overused, dumbed down by pop culture kind of word, but I distinctly remember Jon’s enthusiasm. “Babe your birthday is going to be epic!” I think he embraced the words “go big or go home” long before they ever became a …
Dear Blogger Who Thinks She Needs Thicker Skin, I see you there pouring yourself out day-in and day-out for an audience with no face. An audience who is merely a picture beside a comment or a name attached to an email. Perhaps you’ve met a few of your readers and you’ve been encouraged in your …

I’ve been married to my “lucky” guy for nearly half my life, and I have two kids who are taller than me with a third one gaining fast. I am officially old. Unfortunately, being old or experienced doesn’t make the job of homemaking magically easy. This …

This month of gardening flew by! Much of my time this year has been learning, learning, and learning some more by … well, failing a little bit here and there. No, my garden isn’t a flop – not by a long shot. However, I’m not pulling in the harvest I hoped I would be by …
