I went a little over today because I was having fun writing. That probably makes sense since I was writing about how the fun sometimes gets taken out of what we do online and specifically on social media. With a shiny, new platform that’s not too corrupt yet, I gave an example of why Periscope gets me … Read more
It’s been two weeks since my last SOC Sunday. Last week, I was without a computer and on my way back from NYC. This week, I was just tired. Tired of being online and writing and oh so many other things. But after spending 5 minutes writing, I realize that this is exactly what I … Read more
Honestly, when I’m not writing a sponsored post or awesome product review, I immediately go inside my head. And it’s not always pleasant in there. Usually that’s what comes out on a Sunday morning. It’s not a banal story from the week. It’s like my Sunday morning therapy. So here you go and I’m sorry … Read more
I’m not a huge fan of flying but I accept that it’s the way to get from point A to point B. It’s only when turbulence strikes that I get really nervous. That was my experience yesterday. I was probably hyper aware after meeting someone this week whose friend had survived a significant plane crash … Read more
I’m a bit later this morning for two reasons. The first is that I simply needed a break from the internet. I try to sort of unplug on Saturdays and as just too tired last night to put forth any real writing effort. And then this morning, THE INTERNET IS OUT! For us, that means … Read more
Sometimes when I write for 5 minutes, I try to a least get a complete thought or story out, no matter how abbreviated or poorly written it is. Today, I started down that path and then felt like I just stopped in the middle of the story. But now I’m not sure if it really was … Read more
It’s hard to just open your mind. When I think of doing a brain dump, it’s almost always about how I feel old or fat and how I want to do something about it but it all seems so hard and hopeless (mainly because I have no willpower). But who wants to read that every … Read more
The pressure you place on yourself can often be the worst of all. “What if I don’t post?” I asked myself over the past two weeks. And as I suspected, the world kept turning. We need consistency in our lives but we also need well-placed breaks. I hope you’ll forgive me of mine and join … Read more
When you’re visiting the “Sweetest Place” for a jam-packed weekend, it’s easy to get caught up in everything when you have the chance to eat chocolate at least once an hour. And while I’m taking away so much from my fantabulous weekend in Hershey, I’m oddly feeling younger than I have in a while. Here’s … Read more
I don’t think I’m obsessed with my childhood but I certainly write enough about it. You probably never even realized that I actually have blog categories for “Nostalgia” and “Growing Up.” Oddly enough, the latter isn’t about my son growing up. It’s about me growing up. I love to reminisce and when I do, I find … Read more
I might have had a little too much wine last night (it was for a good cause) and eaten a little too much of those incredibly delicious sugar and cinnamon hot pretzels and birthday cake. And it might still be 28 degrees outside but today, I feel the promise of Spring and the promise of … Read more
I usually write my posts on a Saturday night because I just hate waking up to obligations. I will say that morning posts are definitely different than evening posts when it comes to my writing but with the time change (you did set your clocks forward, right?) I couldn’t even think about a morning post. … Read more
