Miracle on Madison

The hubs and I hosted our third annual Christmas party this weekend, Miracle on Madison!* Why is it called Miracle on Madison? It's not only because of our street name, but also because-- fun fact about me-- I am in the 90's version of the movie Miracle on 34th Street! Well, a picture of me is …

How I became BFFs with Angi Taylor

Every morning on my way to work, I listen to Fred and Angi's morning radio show on Kiss FM. They do a segment called The Five at 7:45 where contestants answer five pop culture/ general knowledge questions. Two callers play each other, and the winner goes on to play the next day; if that person …

Cat & Mouse

Per usual, something terrifying happened in my house recently. BUT, believe it or not, it didn't involve bugs! This time it involved my cat, Albus, and another four-legged creature. Yes, you guessed it; it was a mouse. I was working from home one Friday afternoon, minding my own business, enjoying the sunshine streaming in through …

Bug Juice, it doesn’t come in a jar…

"Bug juice comes from who you are!" Ugh, anyone else remember the show Bug Juice?! I'm pretty sure I still have it recorded on a VHS in my parents' attic somewhere. Sadly, today's post is not about Bug Juice-- although if you know why Eve left camp, please let me know because thirteen year-old Becca is still …

London, Baby!

As many of you know, my husband and I recently returned from vacation; we were in Ireland visiting family, and we took a short side trip to London. Now, I could go on and on about what we did each day, but I don't think you're that interested. Instead, I'm just going to tell you …

We don’t need more friends!*

I mentioned on Monday that I was in Madison, Wisconsin over the weekend with some of my favorite humans. Those humans were my girlfriends, and we were on our annual girls' trip. Rachel, Katy, and I drove up together Friday afternoon. We chatted, ate some snacks, and I spilled water all over myself when Katy …

The Return!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!! Ugh, guys, I can't tell you how much I missed being The Married Cat Lady! I am beyond excited to be back! Now, depending on how loyal a follower you are, you may or may not know why I was on hiatus. This is why: On that fateful Monday, I was actually out all day …

Nashville Part 2: But I’m Rachel!

Did you miss Part 1? Catch up on our adventures HERE. My sister Rachel called our room the next morning-- not my cell phone, no, the blaring room phone-- to bring her a bottle of water. We had kept the entire case, and she and John woke up with zero water. I walked over to their room, …

Nashville Day 1: Middle Seat Driver

Do you know what it's like to sit in the middle seat of a car for seven hours? Ew, no, of course not. Why would anyone do that? To get five people down to Nashville, that's why. My hubby, my sister, her boyfriend, and our friend Katie took a road trip down to Nashville a …

At the Car Wash, Yeah!

This is what my car looked like this morning: Yep. Covered in bird poop. My very mean husband makes me park on the street because my car leaks a little oil, and he doesn't want it to leak on our new driveway. So, every spring when the birds return to our trees and have babies, they …
