Gestures of Kindness

For any reason or for no reason, go up to someone you care about and do something nice for them. A smile, a hug, or even tell them how nice they look. Maybe buy them a coffee or a soda. It doesn't take much effort to brighten the day. Help me light up the world!

Getting Outdoors

I have had this massive urge over the last several weeks to go camping or stay at a cabin in the mountains. I love the seclusion and the sound of nature mixed with the absence of civilization is always what the doctor orders when you constantly find yourself overwhelmed with the demands of adulting. I …

Fantastic Fantasies

Am I the only one who likes to listen to music, look at houses that are well beyond my price range, and envision fun scenarios with friends and family? I am talking specifics. There are times when I will pop in something fun, like Disney music, and then imagine that I am dancing around the …

Dose of Cuteness

I have decided that another dose of cuteness was in the best interest of.....everyone. It doesn't matter what I am doing or what is going on, this little ball of joy always manages to put a smile on my face. Even after he once managed to get on the counter while we were out shopping …

Date Night

Sometimes, it is nice to surprise the people that are important to you. It doesn't even have to be big. I decided to take a risk by cooking something new and using the chopper I bought on Amazon to shred some vegetables and chop up some cheese for homemade gyros. It took some time to …

Friday Night!

Once upon a time, this used to be the day that didn't really start until about 7:00 PM. Didn't always have a plan, but that didn't stop an adventurous soul with an open mind. Now, I am content to stay at home, throw something good in the air fryer, and put on a funny show. …

Fright Night!

I don't know why, but every now and then, I find myself needing to watch the movie Signs. It is the perfect combination of excitement, drama, thrill, and edge-of-your-seat spooks that keep you up and alert from beginning to end. It was Mel Gibson in his prime and Joaquin Phoenix added to the fun. Even …

American Day

I had one of those days where you just look around and can't help but appreciate everything that is happening around you. I see so much to be grateful for and so much that should be so much more appreciated than it is. Have you ever lived in a world where you could attend a …

Date Night

Recipe for a decent date night? I got it right here for you. Cooking chicken burritos with someone special, a nice bottle of red wine (or whatever your prefered quencher of thirst might be), and a good movie. Tonight, for us, it is The Dark Knight Rises. I know it is not the best of …

Date Night!

There are a lot of great ways to spend a date night. Being original can keep things fun and interesting, but the classics will always have their place in a great, healthy, strong relationship. There is just something about dinner and a movie that almost always works. Like anything else, it won't go 100% right …
