If you’ve been around the blog for a while, then you know I like cats. Don’t get me wrong, I like dogs, too. In fact, my family always had at least two dogs in the house when I was growing up. But I don’t own a dog now and I probably won’t own a dog [Read More]

January 2, 2023 By Managed WordPress Migration User Leave a Comment

“Towanda!” I hollered as I drove through a yellow light. “What did you say?” asked my teenage daughter from the passenger seat. “Towanda!” I replied with glee.  My daughter stared at me blankly. “You know, Amazon princess,” I finished.

50 Fantastic Bonding Activities for Moms and Their Teenage Sons

November 6, 2022 By Katy Leave a Comment

On any given weekend, my husband and teenage son spend hours watching sports together. It might be football, hockey or golf. You name it, they watch it. They cheer, clap, and endlessly discuss things like trades, uniforms, and salaries.  If I’m honest, I’m a bit jealous. While I like sports, I’m not quite as enthusiastic [Read More]

Telling My Teen All About Flashdance

October 3, 2022 By Katy Leave a Comment

Nobody likes to argue with their chidren, especially their teenage children. However, I actually enjoyed a recent argument I had with my fifteen-year-old daughter.

20 Things That Surprised Me about Having a Teenage Boy

August 7, 2022 By Katy Leave a Comment

I grew up the middle of three girls, sandwiched between two sisters. Yup, I’m just like Jan Brady, minus the bonus brothers. My sisters and I filled our teenage years in the 80s with activities like sports, theater, and student council.

The Best Grocery Shopping Memes

July 11, 2022 By Katy Leave a Comment

How’s your grocery shopping going these days? For me, I have couple reactions every Saturday when I push my cart with the squeaky wheel around the aisles. Sometimes, I feel like a grumpy little old lady. “Bah!” I’ll cry out. “This used to be $2.99 in the good old days, now it’s $4.68.” Or I [Read More]
