A few years back, when The Bachelor featured a commercial airline pilot as the eligible gentleman, I couldn’t help but laugh (as did many of my fellow airline spouses) at the perception that pilots are this rare breed of untouchable human. And that they’re really rich. That part was maybe the funniest to those of …
I have two distinct personalities during the holidays. The rest of the year, I have many different personalities, but during the holidays there are only two of me. Let me introduce you! Happy Christmas Angel She is ALL ABOUT family, food, decorating, shopping, time with friends – you name it. If it’s part of holiday …
Everything I think to write about seems stupid and superfluous. There’s so much hate right now. Did I tell you we saw a KKK recruitment sign on the side of the freeway on the way home from the beach?

I have been wrestling with a decision for months. My blog, which has had some great moments, some not so great moments, and some crazy traffic moments, has made me a modest amount of money over the 4 years I’ve been writing. When I say modest amount, I mean my biggest month I had pay …
I am in a place I call The Big Silent. Part of being me is an “all forward” or “all retreat” mentality. I don’t seem to have a middle setting. Sometimes I write and am on social media all day – I have so much to say and so much to hear. It’s an open …
