Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
This post is sponsored by Toyota, all opinions are my own. Family road trips have never been my jam. I know, they’re like the great American pastime and whatever, but when you’re someone who gets motion sickness if you walk too quickly through the tall book shelves at the library (something about all of the books flying by my face), you can imagine what being
Dead of summer, in the middle of a heat wave, sounds like the perfect time to go for ice cream at one of the best ice cream spots in Frederick! Hands down, I’m giving the crown to 4 the Love of Sweets. This local treat shop and café boasts a signature concoction that friends have traveled far and wide to enjoy: the cupcake topped milkshake.
Maryland’s Governor Hogan declared July 18 – 26 Maryland Buy Local Week encouraging Marylanders to shop local. In order to support Maryland producers, farmers, watermen, and others who produce fresh food for our state and our nation, Marylanders are encouraged to take the Buy Local Challenge to incorporate a Maryland grown, produced, or harvested food product in their meals each day.

I’m not sure what exactly has contributed to the rise of the home-based chefs and bakers (let’s blame the Internet), but I am 100% here for it.

If you haven’t heard of TikTok, the major social network for sharing user-generated short videos, then there is a good chance this is your first visit to Planet Earth. Let me be the first to say, “Welcome Alien friend!” The rest of us Earthlings, whether we’ve got a feed full of videos of our own under our belts or have just been baffled by the
While the idea of TikTok moms may be entirely foreign to you, TikTok itself is probably quickly ringing a bell of recognition in your brain. With over 800 million monthly active users, the app has found itself claiming the title as the sixth most popular social networking app available – behind well known giants like Facebook, Instagram, and FB Messenger. Pretty cool stats for an
I’ve partnered with We Are Teachers and The Allstate Foundation to talk about the importance of social and emotional learning (SEL) for teens. This post is sponsored by The Allstate Foundation. All opinions are my own. Do you sometimes look at your teenagers and wonder if they’re going to be able to survive without you? I do. Regularly. On the bright side, I feel like
If you made it to this post it’s because you’ve probably heard some stirrings about, this 50 Shades-ish Netflix flick getting all your mom friends all worked up. The 365 Days movie is a Polish erotic film based on the Polish book of a similar name – 365 DNI. It’s the story of a Polish woman who’s abducted by the leader of a mafia-like crime
As I sit here typing this and cuddling my puppy, we are on day 56 of COVID-19 shutdown. In less than a week it will have been two months since I saw the inside of my office, since my children went to school with their friends, since my husband commuted to work.
