Sunday dinner. My family has been upholding this amazing tradition for close to twenty years. My mom, in an effort to keep her little chicks nearby began hosting dinner on Sundays as soon as the first one of us flew the coop. (I mean…is there anything more satisfying than a good poultry pun?) Several years […]
Stay-at-Home Mom Slumps
“You’re so lucky.” “I could never do what you do.” “You must have an amazing relationship with your kids.” “I’m not sure I’d feel valuable staying home.” “I would love to be able to be home after school.” “Do you get bored? I mean, with nothing to do?” Stay-At-Home Mom Slumps I’ve been fortunate enough […]
New Year New Me – Guidelines for 2016
Who doesn’t love a good New Year’s Resolution list? Something to read over and contemplate. Something to anticipate and ruminate. Something anxiety-inducing or vomit-producing. This girl. Not. I have spent many a December 31st running through my mind an invisible roll call of all the failures from the previous 364 days. Trying to inspire myself […]
Finding your true happy weight
It had been a good two months since I’d stepped foot on it. The little contraption collecting stray hairs and dust on my bathroom floor had been mocking me during each visit. “Step on me, Mindy…” “Stepp on me, Mindy…” “Steppp on me, Mindy.” The dreaded scale. I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t […]

The Antidote
This is the blog post where I have to get a lil’ serious. No recipes to submit today. No funny stories to share. Because ya’ll, it’s been a week. Can I get an “Amen”? I’d venture to say there’s not a single one of us, on the planet really, who hasn’t taken a moment or […]

5 Thanksgiving Drink Ideas
Thanksgiving. I think about turkey. And stuffing. And potatoes-n-gravy. And pumpkin pie. And probably most excitedly, I think about giggling in the corner of my kitchen with some fun ladies while enjoying a cocktail (or four) and some great catch up. For me, the holidays really are all about celebrating family and friends. People you care […]
Zuppa Toscana (Sausage, Potatoes and Kale Soup)
Pass-ay zee garleec-ay! (That is meant to sound Italian but during editing I realized it appeared to be some kind of Italian/Pig Latin hybrid…you know…the other romance language. Get it? Leave a comment if you get it.) For you non-linguistically gifted folks, I said “Pass the garlic!” because today on The Suburban Life I am […]
