See the Good, Be the Good, Do the Good

February 28, 2018 by Mindy 1 Comment

Hello friends! Welcome back to The Suburban Life! Although I consider myself the possessor of a fairly optimistic soul I find that, at times, the impact of the world digs into that optimism and exposes my more vulnerable self to doubt, distrust and unease.  I become a little less prone to hope and a lot […]

We Need to do “Something”

February 15, 2018 by Mindy 4 Comments

Every fiber in my being has tried to sabotage my attempts at writing this post, but thoughts keep poking at my brain like a sliver in my finger that will not come out until I grab the tweezers and get to work.  So, here I am getting to work. Across social media platforms, work desks, […]

How To Have A Merry Christmas

December 17, 2017 by Mindy Leave a Comment

“Don’t Get Your Tinsel In A Tangle” I’ve been seeing this little ‘gem of advice‘ scrolled across a multitude of items lately and at first glance chuckled at the smart use of metaphorical alliteration (okay, so I’ve been spending a little too much time with 5th graders.) But at second glance the intention behind the […]

How To Get Your Best Body (Ha. I can’t even type it without laughing.)

July 26, 2017 by Mindy 1 Comment

Have I been doing it all wrong? Full disclosure: I am not an expert of physical fitness (actually, of any kind).  I am  merely a purveyor of various fitness blogs and the occasional “clicker” of Facebook ads promising to give me six-pack abs and a booty you could bounce a quarter off of. And I’m […]

Summertime

June 27, 2017 by Mindy 2 Comments

Oh, heyyyyyyy!  So I’m totally going to pretend it hasn’t been over four months (FOUR MONTHS!) since my last blog post and pick right up where I left off.  Mmmkay? So, where did we leave off?  Avery turned 14.  Jack’s still 10.  I’m still gainfully employed with the school district.  Which really means one thing…I […]

She’s 14 Years Old!

February 9, 2017 by Mindy Leave a Comment

  Today marks the 14th year, or the 5,100th day, that my sweet baby Avery has been prancing around on this Earth and blessing everyone around her with her wit, her kindness, her silliness and her pure love for all of God’s creations. You always hear the cliche, “I can’t believe she’s already 14.  It’s […]

Christmas Break Plans

Hello there, friends!  It’s been a whirlwind of a holiday season and I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that!  Is it just me or has time started going by in exponential increments?  Christmas break had me all excited to get so much done!  Two whole weeks out of work! That first morning of break, […]

Life Changes

August 25, 2016 by Mindy 14 Comments

Wow.  I have some nerve, don’t I?  Disappear for a gazillion years and then just show back up all “waddup friends?”  Allow me to explain, and then feel free to throw the stones. To say that life has been a bit tumultuous and totally not on board with the “Mindy has everything in control” plan […]

Sunday Morning Coffee Chat

May 22, 2016 by Mindy Leave a Comment

It’s Sunday, which can only mean one thing in my little corner in the Suburbs…coffee bingeing. I don’t know what it is about Sunday that screams “coffee” to me, but it tends to be the only day of the week that I keep an almost constant stream of the dark and lovely journeying down the […]

40 is the new 30?!

May 17, 2016 by Mindy Leave a Comment

  It was a dark and stormy night. I turned 40. I will admit, this monumental milestone seemed a very far off concept for approximately 39 years and 11 1/2 months.  It wasn’t until about two weeks before the big day that it suddenly dawned on me…I was going to be 40!  Wait, what?  Old […]
