Disclosure ::  This post is sponsored by Chuck E. Cheese.  You're Invited :: To The Chuck E. Cheese Grand Re-Opening Event Taking kiddos out to eat can sometimes (all the time?) feel like a bit of a nightmare. All the "please sit still", "eat your food",  and "don't get under the table" makes us question our judgement as parents. Recently, we took our kids to dinner at a casual restaurant that had a small arcade where they had a blast play games in between bites of dinner. This got me thinking about one of my favorite places to go as a kid. I think we can all agree that when we were kiddos there weren’t many restaurants that got us more...

I went to an allergist appointment a while back and he asked me a series of questions about home, work, and life. They were all things I expected, but near the end of the interview, he asked, so other than working and caring for a toddler what do you do, what are your hobbies?

When you go to Google and type “nugget,” the first thing that pops up is their website.In case you don’t know what a nugget is, let me explain. According to their own website, the nugget is “the infinitely configurable play couch made up of...

Early 2020: If you were like me, TikTok sounded like a playground for teens and those in their early 20’s. Catchy songs and dances were the last thing on my mind back then. I was more focused on virtual schooling our two children and the financial well-being of our family. Hard pass on the Savage Love. I needed sanity and clarity more than I needed to learn how to dance with my arms like my 12 year old does. Then, for whatever reason mid-year, I downloaded it. Probably out of desperation for a change in scenery. I fully expected to hate it as much as that other social media platform with the ghost as its icon. I literally could not...
