We told you about Safe Hands in an article last week and asked you to take a poll. I wore mine to a small gathering of fellow empty nesters and it created quite a bit of conversation. We had lots of conversation about…why not green, yellow and red like a stop light? … Read More »

Be sure to take the poll to let us know what color wristband you would choose!
Peggy, Lauren and I met yesterday at ROAM to take a tour. We’ll share more on ROAM later but wanted to quickly tell you about how much we love the idea of Safe Hands wristbands and other products!… Read More »
On Friday we published a survey asking our subscribers to let us know their thoughts on going to an indoor movie theater. We’ve compiled the results to share… Bottom line: 80% of the poll takers are not ready to go back to the movies. Social distanced seating was the top priority for whenever people are ready to go back, followed closely by mask wearing by employees and attendees. … Read More »

We received a lot of positive feedback from my haircut article so I thought I’d mention that as I continue to get braver yet smarter about COVID exposure I was still strongly considering cancelling my standing 6 month dental cleaning last week. However, my extremely cautious 19 year old had his teeth cleaned a few weeks ago and said he felt safer at the dentist office than at the grocery store! … Read More »

Disclaimer: I hate posting photos of myself but guess I’ll have to do so for the purposes of this article so please bear with me!
I’ve been very “covid shy” since March but have been getting more and more stir crazy and therefore venturing out more and more. … Read More »

No, he’s not really a baby. He’ll be 19 next month but he will always be my baby and I can’t stop thinking about all the things he might need during his first year away from home. He’s in Auburn doing pre-semester things by himself today and I miss him already even though he’ll only be gone 24 hours….this… Read More »

The entire time I was reading Boy’s Life I was thinking about how much my Dad would love it. So, I decided to get him a copy for Father’s Day. It was written in 1991 but I figured it would be easy to find a copy. Whoa – it is not available at our Barnes and Noble. … Read More »

When is it not OKAY to rev up that blower or electric saw?
We’ve been spending a lot of time outside. I love gardening and listening to the birds sing in my trees, hearing the fish jump in the lake and listening to the frogs begin their nightly chorus at sundown.… Read More »

One of my college besties and I recently sheltered away together for a few days. It’s so funny to me how every time I go away for time with any gal pals, we all end up learning interesting take-away tidbits! Following are a few items that Carolyn and I took away from the weekend:

I’ve been getting my groceries via Kroger Curbside for over a year. Until the pandemic I could order one day and pick up the next. Nowadays you have to schedule a few days to a week in advance, so I’ve been counting on my sons to wear masks/gloves and do the grocery shopping lately…especially for items we don’t want to wait on. … Read More »

I’ve been chatting with my mom a lot more lately during quarantine and she told me the other day that the thing she misses most about not going out is being unable to get out to the nursery to buy flowers. Like mother like daughter.
Just before the quarantine I went to my favorite Pike Nursery (Holcomb Bridge) with my youngest son. … Read More »

I must admit that I’d never even heard of Zoom until last week. I bet most of you don’t even know that before I was “the AHA Connection girl” I was a Project Manager for AT&T responsible for Cisco Telepresence video conferencing installations all over the world. I managed installations in South Korea, Turkey, Chile, United Kingdom and Costa Rica…just to name a few. … Read More »
When updating my weekly order from Sun Basket this morning I realized it is probably a good time to remind you about this amazing company. During this social distancing time it is nice to know that my Sun Basket arrives weekly at my front door via “contact free delivery” with a great meal for my once again family of 4. … Read More »
