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. In Frederick County, we
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. Lots of time at home trolling Facebook groups for new things to eat led me to the recent discovery of Cinnamommy, a Frederick, Maryland home based cinnamon roll baker who makes some of the most delectable cinnamon buns
Summer 2020 has provided many American families a much needed break from the stress and uncertainty of distance learning situations thrust upon us by the public health crisis caused by the Coronavirus global pandemic. Many of us are hoping that there is a safe way to return our children to traditional schooling models when the doors are scheduled to open this fall, but as school
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.

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.

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. Since we are “enjoying” at home school these days, my son just informed
