I'm up 5 pounds after going to Chicago (really Downer's Grove) for my son's first out of state tournament. While we ate lunch before heading to the airport, it hit me that this trip would be a rite of passage that many, many other parents of young athletes have been doing for years.

When I was in college, I was able to afford hair products and hair cuts because I was a hair model.  Model was a fancy label given to me by the salon so they could use my hair for temporary color experiments and use me as an example of how hair could look if you too, used their products.

Months ago I bought "1-Cup Prep Bowl" containers from Pampered Chef because they were on sale and because I like to support my cousin's business. I knew that, in some capacity, these would be given out as thoughtful pinches because these containers are little gems.

Pets bring joy and value to our lives.  When we bring home a four-legged "baby", chances are there will be sleepless nights, chewed up shoes, scratched up furniture, bathroom accidents or all of the above.

When I learned that the CEO of Beautycounter, Gregg Renfrew, would be speaking to us while I was on Spring Break in Orlando, I started thinking of questions that I wanted to ask in case I had the opportunity.

I'll always remember years ago when we lived on Hollywood Beach in Florida, we had to evacuate and took refuge inland.  We hunkered down at my friend Paige's house and braced ourselves for the worst.

My kids go to a school where the students are so nice that it could almost be a curse.  Students are polite and well-mannered.  Why would I complain about that?

Raise your hand if you agree that National Potato Chip day is a holiday that is just as important as Thanksgiving.  It's practically the same thing, right?

When I was growing up there wasn't much fuss about the amount of sugar in cereal. Or if fusses existed, my parents didn't know or care about it because I was able to get as many boxes of any cereal I wanted.

You're going to think I'm crazy but I almost declined an invitation to the Super Bowl. I'm not lying when I tell you that the very first thing that went thru my mind, as soon as one of my besties asked me to go with her to Super Bowl 52, was how would I ever find a thoughtful pinch to say thank you?

For as long as I can remember, I prayed for things like: winning big in Vegas or passing a test even though I didn't study for it or not getting a speeding ticket as I sped past a cop that I didn't see until it was too late.

When I think about the things I am NOT grateful for, like losing my dad the day after my 31st birthday, it's tough.
