About Me

Me and my mini-backpack at Bloggy Boot Camp in Chicago

Hi there and thanks for stopping by!!


Happily married, full-time mother of two - an 8 (going on 18) year old girl and an 11 year old boy who would be happy to stay that age. Blogging for fun, family, friends and for the Love of Coffee. 






Also, I love wine, music and the City of Chicago where I worked for six years being in the NWI area, I take my family to the city as often as humanly possible and let you in on the fun. 

Married for 10 years, I am enjoying the tornado that is my life and I couldn't be married to a better person to share this craziness with.  I blog about my kids, parenting, travel and of course coffee, but I dabble in just about everything at one point or another. 


I believe in Green and Fitness (most of the time) and plan to share my opinions and tips, feel free to share yours as well. I don't plan to change the world but hope to inspire and encourage with the help of my friends. Lost my libido somewhere along the way - if found, please return, my husband would greatly appreciate it! Last I heard it was  spotted on the west coast but it ended up only being Danny DeVito so please keep a lookout and definitely keep me posted.. 
WAIT - this just in: Hi I think I saw your libido outside the chip shop round the corner, here in England...10/27/11 (Thanks Simon!)


I have nothing to sell really but who doesn't like a shameless plug?  I like to share experiences and Things I've Tried relating everything from coffee to wine and children's products that I can stand behind whether the company has contacted me or not.  

I try and always give you The Real Story and I do occasional Giveaways with and without reviews. 
I design Mugs and T-shirts for a personal friend and artist that you will find me plugging whenever I can - I make no compensation other than introducing a few more people into his artistic brain...


I'm also found more often than not on:
