Pushing a double stroller will get me more fit than #crossfit

Okay, maybe that title is a slight exaggeration, but last month I started walking (okay, pushing) my kids to school in my double stroller. I have the bumble ride Indie…

    Shoe Review: Dansko Hatty Sneaker

    February 25, 2020 / Comments Off on Shoe Review: Dansko Hatty Sneaker

    It’s another comfy shoe review coming back at you! I did a video review on my Instagram last week, but in case you don’t follow me over there, I’m bringing it to my blog! White sneakers are all the rage this spring. Probably because they go with everything: jeans, shorts, rompers, dresses, and workout clothing! Most of the shoe brands out there have soles that are as flat as a pancake and will leave your feet, legs, and back screaming in pain after standing on your feet for an hour at Costco. (Because let’s be real here, that’s essentially mom life. Costco plus Target, Sprouts, the playground, etc.) All of…

    Dating after Divorce: Take 2

    February 21, 2020 / Comments Off on Dating after Divorce: Take 2

    Dating is similar to a moth around a flame. The moth may get burned a few times, but despite the burn, he still can’t resist that bright, shining light of (potential) love! Sound familiar? Yep, most of us get burned a few times looking for love. But hopefully we eventually find the one that allows the flame of love to keep shining strong and never burn out. And since most everyone is looking for a relationship (or something along those lines), everyone enters the dating game at some point in their lives. Some of us are just extra lucky and get to re-enter the dating scene after divorce. Yes, all…

    Happy Valentines To You, Single Mama

    February 14, 2020 / Comments Off on Happy Valentines To You, Single Mama

    It’s Valentine’s Day! The day of cupid, love, and lots of pink & red. Also, a day that reminds you of your divorced or newly single status… (As if you need another reminder, right??) For me last year, the holiday loomed up in front of me like a red flag (or open heart surgery). I was one month into my new, grief filled life: ringless, husbandless, and a newly single mom. I was devastated, angry, and still in shock over what my then husband had done to me and to our family. But that morning, on February 14th, the dreaded day of love arrived even when I wished it wouldn’t.…

    Dating after Divorce – the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    February 9, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Now that I’ve piqued your interest, I’ve got to admit that I haven’t seen much ugly in the post divorce dating scene. Disappointed? Well read on, and you’ll find out why. Maybe it’s because I’ve just lucked out. Or maybe it’s because this time around, I’m treating dating like it truly is: a way to talk and get to know someone and decide if I truly want to see them again. It sounds so obvious, right? But do any of us really think of dating like that? NO…we don’t. We get too caught up in wondering if they like us, if we said the right thing, if we talked to…

    Rain rain go away…but come back when I’ve got a cute raincoat

    January 22, 2020 / Comments Off on Rain rain go away…but come back when I’ve got a cute raincoat

    It’s January, it’s rainy and cold, and I’m sick of my one, solid colored raincoat. It’s very cute (blush pink), but I want a few options when it comes to raincoats! So now I’m on the hunt for a new one! While solid black is sensible….I don’t like solid black – I want something fun and bright! Here are a few fun raincoats that will help you leave behind your winter blues and get you in the mood for spring showers! They hit a variety of price point so there is something for everyone, no matter your budget!

    Leather Ankle Bootie with Arch Support

    January 19, 2020 / Comments Off on Leather Ankle Bootie with Arch Support

    To kick off another shoe review, I found this perfect, neutral ankle bootie that is just about perfect! How so? Read on.. Leather: First off, the outer and inner lining are leather. Nice, buttery soft leather. Stacked heel: There is enough of a heel that it’s not a flat boot, but not enough heel to make walking around all day uncomfortable. All weather: They are waterproof! So that means you can wear them in the rain or snow and they will still look nice and keep your feet warm! Support: They have good arch support! There is a removable Dansko insole, and dansko insoles have good support in general. Your…

    January 17, 2020 / Comments Off on Gingham or floral- Get 30% off Casely Cases!

    I’m particular when it comes to buying a new iphone case. Rightly so, because I tend to buy just one and use it for 3+ years. And we all know that our iphones are something we look at multiple times a day… So I wanted a pattern I love looking at, but is also super durable. Did you catch the 3+ years I expect it to last?? I know, I’m acting like I’m buying a car or something, and it’s just an iphone case….but still... So after I purchased my new iphone 11 in September, I got to work searching for the perfect case….and I found it. It was beautiful!…
