I just got back from the most wonderful weekend trip with nine of my best girlfriends. It did not disappoint. After the past year to say my mom battery was depleted is a drastic understatement.  I needed to not hear "Mommy" 8,647...

We have partnered with Visit Wichita to show you what Wichita, Kansas has to offer for a weekend getaway. However, all opinions are my own. School was out! Summer was stretching out in front of us, full of days spent...

Don't get me wrong. I love my son. I love him more than life itself, and I would bend over backwards and bend time itself to make sure he has everything he could ever want or need. With that...

Bugs, heat, mud, poison ivy, and the sound of a coyote howling in the not-so-distant distance: these are all reasons I used to drive my stance on NEVER EVER camping. And now, we own a tent. And sleeping bags. And an actual...

Summer is upon us and quite frankly I am dreading hearing the whining that "everyone" is going somewhere. Yes, last year I swore to myself that we would not miss a chance for another vacation but life happens; we started one business...

Recently I took a trip to the Big Apple with a fellow contributor friend, Katie.  I never in a million years thought I would acquire an addiction but after returning I could not stop ... GEOCACHING! Right now you, like...

I felt a pang of sadness as we pulled up to the airport drop-off area. I had just spent three days with some of the most amazing women I know. It didn't feel like enough time. But the reality...

Now that I am a mother, I have come to realize that there are three types of airplane passengers: the kid-less; the families; and the ever-patient, kid-lovers/retirees.  After a recent less-than-pleasant flight (think engine trouble, no air conditioner, cranky baby, and...
