16 Things I want to Achieve in 2016

January 1, 2016 By katbiggie 2 Comments

less successful because I stay at home

I’ve got some mega 2016 goals. Last year I wrote the post 15 Ways to Make 2015 better. It was interesting to re-read that post and see how poorly I did in some of those areas! Like “commit fully to an 85/15 clean eating diet.” Big. Time. Fail. So, that’s going to be number one […]

Veterans Day 2015

November 11, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

My son and daughter’s school put on the most amazing Military Appreciation day today for Veterans Day. It was amazing. They served us breakfast, they sang songs, even the teachers sang an absolutely gorgeous Thank You song, and they gave us a parade. It was so touching. I especially enjoyed meeting a Korean War veteran […]

9/11

This post is dedicated in loving memory to my husband’s childhood best friend, Shannon, who was killed in the North Tower on 9/11/01 This was the day! She would be making her big pitch to her boss and if all went well, life would get so much better for her little family. Her maternity leave […]

Stop Trying to Define my “Normal”

August 11, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

normal

  I have been thinking about this word “normal” a lot lately. It started when I read a viral post on Scary Mommy called something like “This is What Normal Is.” The post was all about how it’s “normal” to have a messy house when you stay at home or work from home and have […]

My Princess in a REAL castle

July 22, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

Our trip to France is sadly coming to an end. What an amazing adventure it has been. I have been unplugged 90% of the time and that has been simply magical. You know what else is magical? A castlw. This is le Haut Konigsburg – a very old castle in the Alsace region of France. […]

July 20, 2015 By katbiggie 2 Comments

My daughter and I are visiting my best friend, who lives in France. She is in Alsace, the French department on the border of Germany and Switzerland.  It’s also wine country.  And absolutely beautiful.

No more operating from a place of fear

July 2, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

You know what I regret more than anything else in my life? I regret being so scared that I said no when I should have said yes; or yes when I should have said no. I let fear determine some of the most important decisions in my life. Scared to say yes, scared to say no, scared to […]

Yes, you read that right. The dog set the kitchen on fire. Who could be mad at this face? Well, kind of. This adorable pup indirectly led to a quite scary kitchen fire event… What had happened was….

#LikeAGirl Superbowl commercial

February 2, 2015 By katbiggie 13 Comments

#makesafehappen

Normally I don’t blog about things like Superbowl commercials. But the 2015 Superbowl commercials were awfully “special” weren’t they? This year, they seemed to be focusing on making everyone cry rather than laugh. (Except the one with the screaming and the goat. That was hilarious!) There are three in particular that I really want to […]

Change of Plans

January 20, 2015 By katbiggie 3 Comments

Today did not go at all how I planned. Isn’t that typical? The day really started off by a series of bad decisions yesterday. I let my Tiny take a nap at 5pm, thinking she’d only sleep an hour or two. She slept til 10pm. By that point, I was several glasses of wine down […]

15 Ways to make my 2015 better

Do you like to make resolutions in the New Year? I don’t really have a problem with it, but I’ve never really been great at making solid resolutions and sticking to them. I think that’s why so many people dislike the idea. By 10 am on New Year’s day, many of us have already blown […]
