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 […]
A Veteran’s Day Salute
Amidst the holiday hubbub of hating on red cups and prepping for the mad dash at Black Friday, er, Black Thursday-and-a-half (don’t even get me started on THAT topic), it is easy to bypass a day set aside to honor those who truly deserve our wholehearted attention. A Veteran’s Day Salute I grew up with […]
That Plain Red Starbucks Cup
Time for a bit of a “Come to Jesus” moment on the Suburban Life. That plain red Starbucks cup. Oh, the evilness of it all. I came across Christians and Coffee Cups on the Huffington Post, an opinion piece, which very aptly addresses the oh-so-delightful controversy surrounding Starbucks and their marketing decision to roll out […]
Kid Goals (An Early Happy Birthday)
So, this guy. He is soon to be turning the ripe ol’ age of 9 years young and I’ve been trying to squeeze some gift ideas out of his very busy brain. You’d think that would be simple, right? “I want…and I want…and I want…and I want…and I want…” Not with this dude. He’s a […]
Friday Flashbacks and Favorites
Happy Friday friends! Can you believe another week is dunzo…down the toilet…kaputz? This end-of-summer time bending phenomenon has got me all worked up. Somehow, the closer we get to the start of School the faster the clock moves. I haven’t found a way to prove it, but I’m absolutely sure it’s some kind of Walmart […]
Friday Flashbacks and Favorites
Happy Friday, friends. Here’s hoping you survived the week. Although, if you are reading this then I have to assume you did survive. And not only did you survive, you chose to celebrate your survival by checking in with the ol’ Suburban Life. So, I thank you. And my little blog thanks you. Being that it’s […]
Minted Wedding Invitations – A Review
The year was 2000. I was knee-deep in the planning process and trying to figure out how to throw a champagne wedding on an Old E 40oz budget. One of the most stressful parts of the whole process was choosing wedding invitations, RSVP cards and envelopes. I pictured embossing, glitter, photos, foil. I ended up […]
The After Christmas Blahs
The After Christmas blahs. Am I alone here? Possibly, but doubtful. The time following all the holiday hub-bub is quite a conundrum, really. The two weeks of holiday madness, though spectacularly satisfying, can also be fatigue-inducing mayhem. As bittersweet as winding down from the months of planning and producing can be, there is admittedly a bit of a […]
A Frozen Turkey (Thanksgiving 2014)
Happy impending Turkey Day friends! I can hardly believe this holiday is upon us once again and that it’s already been 365 days since the last time I made myself sick with StoveTop stuffing and drank about 32 too many mimosas while watching my kids sit on the couch wondering who invented the lame holiday where we […]
Summer Fun in the Backyard Pool
Is it hot in your neck of the woods? Good Lawd but it’s been a scorcher lately. And us Northwesterners aren’t really equipped to handle skin-sizzling heat. Our delicate dermis is screaming in protest at unrecognized UV rays, sweat-inducing temperatures and the generous slathering of sunscreen (applied in the hope of saving our top layer […]
