2021

I came across a website that has some Thanksgiving fun facts that I never knew and I am shooketh! According to bestlife.com, the first Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade had live animals instead of balloons and more things you probably never knew about turkey day!

Trick or Treat smell my feet! If your kids are already anticipating the big day here real soon, let me help map out your stops this Halloween 2021. Trunk or treats have already been scheduled and will be ready for your little goblins on and around the 31st of October! Let's take a look at the trick or treat hot spots in the 432...

Determining a name for your child takes time. It is not something parents take lightly. . And, what may demonstrate a parents great sense of humor, or sounds like a "cool" name today, doesn't always bode well for their child in their adolescent and adult years. So without keeping you in suspense any longer, here is your list of the top 5 boys names for this area, along with their meanings.

I have quite a bit of experience in the school lunch department. I've been making them for many years, for all 3 of my children. Over the years, I have to say taking lunch from home has evolved. My oldest was good with pb&j, or a turkey and cheese sandwich. My middle and youngest got fancy with the Lunchables, to which this single mom cringed at but still budgeted for.

If you are looking to fill your kids summer schedule, here is something else you can get them signed up for. Legit I am that mom. If there is a camp, be it VBS, some sort of camp through the school or local gym, I'm the first one to throw it out, 'take all of my money!' Keep my kids busy for the summer so they won't start complaining that there is nothing to do.

Imagine how any graduating class, be it high school or college felt. Their chance to walk across the stage and accept their diploma was stripped from them for obvious reasons. However, this year they will be given that opportunity..

It's that time of year peeps! One thing I do look forward to this time of year is fresh produce. No lie. I am that girl that gets excited when a friend or family member shares the goods from their garden, the literal fruits of their labor.

Think about the last time you were asked to give to something? Was it at a convenience store, asking for you to donate and put your name on a balloon to be on display? Was it at the store asking you to 'round up' your total for a charity? Maybe it was a go-fund me for a particular organization. Whatever the case, giving our spare change to some sort of charity always gives us a warm, fuzzy feeling

If you ask most people what they have missed the most in the last year, the answer would probably be interaction with other humans. Being able to get out for a little bit of nightlife and entertainment. Unfortunately, so many things that we took for granted before like concerts, movies and for some even dancing at your favorite local night club are missed. It was announced earlier today that one l
