It's a Midlife Lifestyle
When I say I want to travel, I don’t necessarily mean I want to stay at resorts and go on tours with tour guides.
I don’t want to be a tourist. I don’t want to do tourist things like go in funky shops to buy key chains that aren’t going to spell my name right anyway. [Read More…]
There are runs. There are 5k’s. And then, there are things like the Wicked Wine Run 5k.
If someone told me a few years ago that such a thing existed or someday would, I doubt I would believe them. Since my divorce I really hit the ground running (literally) but fell off that wagon last year. Until now.
Founders. What more does anyone really need to say?
When a friend of mine needed to meet up in Detroit, I was really happy this place was mentioned. I have always wanted to visit. We did meet right before the Christmas holidays, and the weather wasn’t too bad. [Read More…]
As a country, America tends to be wasteful when it comes to food, energy, and other valuable resources. However, water waste is especially rampant, and one report notes that the numbers connected to water waste are in the trillions. If you want to become involved in conservation efforts and help lower these numbers, you can start right in your own home. There are several ways to save water, and teaching your kids about its value and how to conserve it can help them understand why water is such a precious commodity. [Read More…]
Dear feet, I’m sorry you haven’t pounded pavement in a while or kicked up dirt in the trails.
Today you will, and you will hurt. [Read More…]

I’m boozey. I don’t think that is any big secret. But, I am sort of snob when it comes to my booze. I’m a Guinness and Jameson’s girl and I make no apologies for that. But, I looooooooooove trying new boozes, especially here in the great state of Michigan. (hey Portland, we’re closing in on you for craft beer per capita 😉 ) Seems like every time I turn around another local craft beer, whiskey or wine is being bottled. There are days I roam down the isles … and I will be honest, I often pick items solely for their packaging. That’s the artsy fartsy in me. I’ve found over the years other creatives do the same thing. Good. We need to start a darn club “Pick by the Label Anonymous.” Maybe I need to work in a liquor store or as a bartender just to recruit members. 😉 Gaahhhh could you possibly imagine??
My favorite all-time holiday is almost here! Do you know how excited that makes me?
PRETTY DARN EXCITED!!!
Truth – I start counting down for St. Patrick’s Day before Christmas. Actually, I probably start counting down for St. Patrick’s Day after St. Patrick’d Day.
I know everyone loves Christmas and Thanksgiving and all those other holidays. Those are all great and fun IF they are being celebrated for their true purposes and not for the Hallmark purposes. But my jam is St. Patrick’s Day. [Read More…]

It’s no big secret that I love mushrooms; I practically put them in everything I eat. I love my mother’s full-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese glory full of countless calories even more. But, I just can’t keep eating those and expect to see the numbers change on the scale. I did really well for a while and then I started to get comfortable.
My first 5k of the season is coming up in a few weeks and I’ve decided I really want to play roller derby next season so I have got to get myself in the best shape I possibly can. That means ramping up my exercise and slimming down my calories. [Read More…]
Life is too short to worry about what others thing. What society thinks you should or should not be. Once you truly are comfortable with yourself, you become an unstoppable force. You become truly, fully alive. [Read More…]
Sometimes you just have to do the things. I haven’t been feeling myself lately and I am not sure why. Stress? Life in general?
I spent last year pushing through life obstacles and kicking ass. This year, it has just been one thing, after another. I know we all have those moments in life and you just have to be a boss and handle your stuff. I like to think I am doing okay in that department even if it’s taking me a little time to do that.

Let’s face it. We all want beautiful hair that behaves. There are days when I struggle with mine. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you have likely seen my hair every which way; up, down, straight, curled and naturally curly. Let’s not forget the messy bun, pigtails, braids, headbands made for working out, and bandanna worn in a pin-up style. Yep, I rock them all 😉 [Read More…]
