It’s time for me to fess up to a shameful secret I’ve been keeping for the past four years. I did not vote in the 2016 presidential election. Ugh, just writing those words makes me feel retroactive guilt.  At...
We are about 3 weeks into our state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and what was initially presented as a short(er) term response is now settling in for the long haul. There was a honeymoon period for many of...
I’m about to say something pretty radical - I don’t hate the mom-shame. I’m here for it. Okay, well,  I don’t LOVE it. Let’s be honest - no one likes being called out or made to question their judgement....
Kids love dogs. Every time my little ones see a pup going by they immediately want to interact/pet/love on the ball of fluffy cuteness walking by. To be fair, I’m usually right there with them oohing and awing over...
Social media is wonderful. Instagram is my jam. I follow fashion influencers, women with mermaid-like tresses, lifestyle bloggers (helloooo chunky knit throws and exposed brick accent walls), musicians, makeup artists (Seriously, show me again how to apply that highlighter...
Making friends isn’t as easy as it once was. As a kid, all it seemed to take was a common interest in Lisa Frank school supplies and it was immediate BFF status. In high school, you were clumped into...

Happy Pride Month! June is the month that the LGBT+ community gets to celebrate the freedom to be themselves. Even while equal rights are being fought for in regards to race in our country right now, this is a...

Did you know that there’s more than one Independence Day in America?? There’s the day our country claimed its independence from Great Britain and then there’s the day that all slaves finally knew they were free in this country...
I'm sure you've seen it in the news or on Facebook. Lawmakers in Ohio recently introduced The Ohio Equal Pay Act, a bill to help ensure women are compensated fairly and equally to their male counterparts. While this seems...
Unless you've been avoiding social media or the news lately, then you've probably heard about the latest Hollywood scandal involving college admissions and deep-pocketed celebrities. Normally when "breaking news" like that hits the airwaves I can generally roll my...
