In honor of the circus coming to town for the last time in the history of the circus, today I’m performing a disappearing act! Now you see it; now you don’t! I’m referring to that big lump on the side of my face. Ugh! Can a girl just catch a break, already?! I do a darn good job of hiding this puppy by curling my hair, parting it a different way or just not pulling it back, but I’m sick of the darn thing! I can hardly wear my glasses because this lump on the […]

I firmly believe that if it’s a priority, then you will make it happen. There are only so many hours in the day, but if something is important enough then you will find the time to get it done. If you are not fully committed then it’s easy to make excuses why you can’t make it happen. For example, working out. Not everyone enjoys working out, but the truth is we all should include it in our weekly routine. It’s good for you! Walk. Run. Lift weights. Dance. Play. Whatever. Being active has always been […]

When you are going through the muck with illness, there is someone that doesn’t get the credit they deserve…your caretaker. In my case, this is Mike the Trainer, my hubby. Yes, yes, I’m sure you’re thinking, “here we go…a sappy post about your husband…no one cares,” and you are…right! Totally sappy post about my husband, and I’m just praying that someone cares. I know Mike will at least read this; I know he reads my posts because in my stocking this year he put in an Elf Lip Tint! Ain’t no way he knew what […]

I want Rodan + Fields Lash Boost. Every time I see a post (which is a lot because I think every other one of my friends sells R+F) of the Lash Boost, I’m jealous! I am a sucker for great lashes, and God did not bless me with to-die-for lashes. I have lashes, so I’m grateful for that; but I want amazing lashes! I just can’t swallow spending hundreds on stuff to make my lashes grow…it doesn’t seem financially responsible when I’m a part time high school math teacher. I mean, if I were still […]

My mother claims that I came into the world saying, “hi world” happy and ready to go. It’s interesting to me how kids are hard wired. Siblings all cut from the same cloth but can all be so different. When kids turn out “happy” was that nature or nurture? When our kids behave or get praise from a teacher is that because we as parents did something right or because they are just hard wired that way? We all probably believe that it’s a combination of both. Wouldn’t it be great if we knew when […]

I found this fancy pants recipe from Iron Chef Geoffrey Zakarian…it’s his finest dish that he creates. Please insert the laughing, squinty-eyed emoji here because this is so far from the truth. Where’s a buzzer sound when you need one?! Some of you may be saying, “who the heck is Geoff Zakarian?” Or “what is an Iron Chef?!” Well the reason I can reference GZ is because I love to watch cooking shows! Why?! No clue because I don’t think I’m going to bake one of their dishes…ever. It takes them 5 minutes to cook […]

So with all the excitement of the Falcons in the Super Bowl, it brought back some cheerleading nostalgia. It reminded me that people don’t know a lot about how the cheerleaders end up on the sidelines, so I’m here to provide some insight to the try out process. Now, let me preface this with the fact that I have only cheered for the Georgia Force and the Atlanta Falcons, so I cannot speak for all pro cheerleaders everywhere. I also cheered in 2007, 2008 and 2009, so it’s been a hot minute and things have […]
