Wife On The Go

  Now that we have that pesky Super Bowl out of the way, it’s time for the most glorious time of the year – college basketball season!  With a little over a month to go before the Madness starts, this is when sports really start getting good, at least to me.  I can watch football […]

Being an unwed mother of an only child (and that whole phrase bugs me), it did occur to me from time-to-time that I would like to give my daughter a little brother or sister.  But due to circumstances and life events, that never happened.  And I’m okay with that, and so is my daughter.  We’ve […]

  For some odd reason, about a year ago, I started receiving two separate parenting magazines via subscriptions.  Subscriptions that no one I know will own up to signing me up to receive.  Had these magazines been delivered 15 years ago, I would have seen them as a windfall; now, they’re a nuisance.  A monthly […]

  The last thing anyone, parent or not, man or woman, wants to hear is that they have cancer.  No matter what Stage your cancer is, it is one of the terrifying things you will ever hear.  When you have children, it doubles, or even triples in intensity, knowing that you may not live to […]

It started out innocently enough.  Kanye West collaborated with Sir Paul McCartney and the two performed “FourFiveSeconds” along with Rihanna at the Grammys.  In the Twittersphere, tweets popped up questioning who this “up-and-comer” Paul McCartney is.   “I don’t know who this Paul McCartney is, but Kanye is going to give this man a career […]

It’s that time of year. Snow is everywhere! Poor Boston is very sick of it all at this point I’m sure. In my little corner of the South, we haven’t seen a single snowflake this year. We don’t get much snow. Certainly not anything comparable to our friends in the North, but usually we have […]

  At times it can seem like there isn’t enough time in the day, but if you use your time wisely, you can get more out of it than you ever dreamed. Here are 3 of my favorite ways to rejuvenate and reset the mind and body while your child is getting their daily dose […]

  Over the years I have become a phenomenal multi-tasker. In my quest for face/hair treatments that are natural and cheap, I have also learned to use my kitchen as the ultimate spa. Once dinner is done and the kitchen cleaned up, most of us have plans to spend time with our family or do […]

Instill appreciation for the earth in your child by starting a fun toilet-paper roll garden! Your child can learn about recycling, the value of knowing where food comes from, and the pleasure in growing a plant from scratch. Try growing herbs, so when homemade pizza night rolls around they can pick their own ingredients.  Find […]

  I was almost a runaway bride.  Not in the Jennifer Wilbanks kind of way (remember her?), but for about a minute and a half, I had an overwhelming urge to throw my bouquet at my soon-to-be husband, and take off, leaving the a-hole in my dust. I didn’t… but I probably should have. (Continue […]

  Too often, any story written about teenagers, especially high school students, is negative.  Rapists on the football team, teens getting behind the wheel after drinking, bullying digitally.  And while, yes, these topics are important, our teens are so much more.  The differences between people of my generation (oh, God….did I just say that?) and […]

I don’t know about you, but one of the best ways for me to unplug and soak up some sarcasm is to watch “Modern Family”.  Not only are the family dynamics quirky and unbelievable (although I wish my family was more like Phil, Claire, Mitchell and Cam), it gives you a release from the stress […]

  “Down there”. “Lady bits” (my personal favorite).  “Girly parts”.  “Vajayjay”.  So many different euphemisms for a part of the female body.  So many different ways to care for that area, too.  Trimming, shaving or waxing – we have probably tried them all, or know someone who has, and it is all based on personal […]

  A little over a year ago was the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. march on Washington and his “I have a Dream” speech.  This speech is as relevant today as it was on August 28, 1963 and some of his words still ring true today.  It is disheartening that, in 50+ […]

Have you ever read a “top toy list?” I check them sometimes when I’m searching for birthday party gift ideas. Usually, I end up finding something more creative and fun on my own. Still, these toy lists are pretty fascinating. Some of the gift ideas really spark my imagination. One company has a line of […]
