– Or, How Not to Lose Your Shit in 10 Hours – Dreaded and feared, the longhaul flight with a toddler. I don’t claim to be an expert on this, because this will be my first attempt, but I have a few qualifications: I have traveled internationally overseas since the age of 6 months straight through into my teens, every year to visit family in Norway I was the oldest of five children spanning a decade in age ranges, so…
When our kitchen faucet finally broke (hip hip, hooray!)…I decided to condense the myriad finishes in the kitchen. We had: stainless steel, polished chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel….it was like someone had a mad dash through the hardware store ala Supermarket Sweep and grabbed whatever they could find.

They asked me if I wouldn’t mind trying a pair to review prior to their release and I enthusiastically said yes (I was not compensated and I did not guarantee a review nor did I guarantee any mention or more specifically a positive mention–they shipped a pair of boots and I could either love them or hate them). Well, the results are in, and I…
There are a few things that getting older has taught me that is actually of some benefit…(1) Hold out for Mr. Right, not Mr. Right now, (2) if you’re going to drink at a party, alternate with glasses of water, and (3) my skin loves chemical exfoliation. That last tip is something that I’m a bit of a late bloomer in learning, but it has “made all the difference” (thank you Mr. Frost). I wanted to introduce you to a…

I also included absolutely zero affiliate links, so if you’re interested in checking that out, you’re welcome to watch it below.
