Summer is great. The kids are out of school, the weather is hotter, there seems like there’s nothing to do yet for some reason, your to-do list keeps growing longer and the day seems never to end. Unfortunately, nowadays, the majority of people would rather spend their days inside with the air conditioning blasting on high. If you’re not a parent, you might have your own plans on how to spend your summer days, and that’s ok, but for those of us with children… via GIPHY Let’s just say it’s not the most spontaneous thing watching your kids spend the whole day watching TV and playing video games till their…

It is finally summertime, my good folks, and temperatures this year have been record-breaking. It is hot, humid, and sticky! Before giving birth to the most amazing kids in the world, my usual summer plans would be me in a bathing suit, stretched out in the backyard, getting a tan.

As if the rest of the year wasn’t hard enough for your typical stay at home parent, now the kids are on summer vacation. So the little ones don’t get fussy, you need an idea on how to keep them busy, relaxed, and…

With Independence Day right around the corner, we all have somewhere to be and plans to look forward to. The food, fireworks, friends, food (yes, I said food twice), and family are what make this day such a joyous one for us humans. Us humans without pets, of course.

With that said, you can still have a tremendous and memorable Fourth of July with your pets, and not be stuck all day indoors. Host a Party for Friends with Dogs I know of all…

(That Aren’t Vegas) Do you know what screams out ‘boring’? Having the opportunity to host a bachelorette party and choosing Sin City as your party destination. Why does everyone always head to Vegas, anyway? I know there’s so much more to bachelorette parties than half-naked men and getting so drunk that you forget your own name. Someone needs to redefine the whole event and make it more of a getaway than a drunken weekend. Well, that was my rant and now moving on to more pressing issues. If you’ve been given the honor to host your best friend’s bachelorette, then get ready. Below, we’ve got the complete list of places…

Raise your hand if you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and are about to get hitched. Hey there. Yeah, you. As if planning a wedding wasn’t hard enough, now you have to think about what you need for your newlywed home. Organizing a wedding registry could either be the most relaxing task you can do, or the most dreadful. It all depends on you and what’s going through that pretty head of yours. When I first got married, I only knew how to do one thing, and that was pouring water into an ice tray and throwing it in the freezer. I am a coffee addict but yet never learned how to…

Wedding season is upon us, my good people. Love, joy, and excitement fill our polluted air, and I, for one, am so ready to dance on top of tables and get escorted out by security. It’s only happened once so far, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a reputation to uphold. Finding your dream venue is a chore all on its own. For some, it could be love at first sight and others might need a little more time before saying “I do” to the venue of their dreams. Nonetheless, it’s an exciting endeavor where you and your loved ones will create the memories of a lifetime. via GIPHY…

You know that part in every wedding ceremony where the priest or rabbi or best friend goes, “…to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health…” and you’re standing there thinking “please God, the richer and health part sounds amazing, let’s go with that”. I’ve been there, you’ve been there. Let’s be honest, here. It boggles me when people compare marriage to a trap because it only feels that way if you let it. Yes, marriage is a compromise, and you need to give it your all, blah blah blah. I’m not here to play the marriage…
