Never Say Never
Two years ago if you'd have told me that in the fall of 2016 I would have to choose between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for President, it would've been quite upsetting and I wouldn't have believed it. However something even MORE troubling has also come to pass; I am being forced to defend the honor of clowns...
Two Cars In One!
I'm about to admit something I don't need to share, but if just one person finds a smile deep inside their politics-weary day, I'll take one for the team.
Most days of the week, I drive to and fro from the radio station along 6th Street SW...
America’s Dad Will Help You Feel Better
Tom Hanks is not only my FAVORITE Hollywood celebrity and one of three people with whom I'd like to have lunch. Also, he was recently tagged as America's Dad by Esquire magazine.

My Complicated Affair With Escalators
Today I read a bit of trivia about escalators - I'm always on the lookout for a good bit on shopping mall conveyance- and learned the very first escalator was actually an amusement park ride in 1896. This brings up some questions. Was it just an 'up' escalator and then the kids had to take a slide or the stairs 'down...
New Guidelines Answer How Much Screen Time Is OK For Your Kids?
I finally found the article that has the answers I've been AFRAID to find out. If you are a parent with kids under the age of 18, this is something you no doubt agonize over. And if you're honest with me, I bet part of you doesn't want to know the answer because what if you find out your kid is way over-screened and you should cut back on their screen time...
The Newest Fitness Craze Is…
The newest fitness craze simply MUST be a hoax. In fact, if it was April 1st, I would absolutely believe this is a spoof.
But alas, it is not.
The latest fitness craze is crawling.
Yes, like a baby... crawling. According to the Washington Post, "crawling is the new plank" when it comes to working out and strengthening your core...
The Scariest Movies
When I was a teenager, I loved scary movies. I'm looking at you, Freddy Krueger! But then I birthed a few babies and the real scary stuff (always cutting don't-choke-on-me grapes in half, figuring out birthday party gift bag favors...) that comes along with being a parent made me lose my edge for a good horror movie...
Too Creepy For You?
Have you ever wished you could spend a night in the castle that inspired the story of Dracula? Me neither. Wait, you HAVE?!! Well, have I got news for you!
A relative of Bram Stoker have given Airbnb permission to offer an overnight stay at the castle used by Vlad the Impaler back in the 15th century...
Frustrated By Technology?
Earlier today I shared a story about the number of times Americans get frustrated with technology. On average, each of us gets frustrated with our phones or computers twice each day. That's nearly 41,000 times in over the course of our lives...
The Zombie Stagger 5K
Technically, I'm a runner.
I have running shoes, a race medal or two and for the group of gals I run with each week, that's good enough!
The most FUN 5K I take part in each year is the Zombie Stagger which benefits Rochester Better Chance, a group that is near and dear to my heart...
