Well, I've been pretty much M.I.A. lately. No dating stories. No candy corner. And I've missed writing! But life has been crazy busy with back to school issues (including no bus transportation for my kiddos...ugh) and don't get me started on what's going on at my day job. Each night when I get home I crash, and then the weekend is pretty much a blur of trying...

Bradley Cooper

Ahhh...Bradley Cooper. Those eyes. That smile. It's no wonder he was voted "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine in 2011. He was born and raised in the Philadelphia, PA area, and has starred in multiple TV shows and movies including Alias,...

Idris Elba
In my humble opinion, Idris Elba is quite possibly one of the most beautiful men to ever walk the face of the Earth. I dare you to disagree with me.

Born in London, England, Mr. Elba is a talented actor, musician and DJ. He has played many roles on TV and...

#1 - Trivia Night
I am so excited to get this section of my blog up and running! I love talking about dating and relationships, though not necessarily the act of dating itself, so these posts make perfect sense for me!
Our first story comes from a 24 year old named Serena shared on Bustle:
"I was on a Tinder date with a guy who had completely lied about himself, so I was already annoyed. The bar we were at...

Dating Stories
I have yet to meet anyone that sincerely enjoys dating. I'm not talking about comfortable dating once you've fallen head over heels in love with your perfect match. I'm talking about the dreaded first, second, maybe even third dates. Whether it's a blind date, a Tinder date, or you decided to live dangerously and date a work colleague (NOT a good idea), that first date is the stuff...

So yeah...this happened...
A little over a week ago, I was headed to pick up my son form his dad's house for some mommy/son time...and this ish right here happened. My first fender bender where I was at least partially to blame. I don't really want to get into the details of how it happened since...

My Soulmate
At the tender age of 21, I got married to a man I truly believed was my best friend. I didn't have a traditional wedding with my family and friends there to witness what should have been the most special day of my life. No maid of honor, no best man, no bridesmaids or cute little flower girls. I didn't even have my dad walk me down the aisle. It was just the bride, the...

Family Vacation
My kids and I visited Panama City Beach earlier this month. Lord knows we needed a vacation! Not only was the trip the perfect way for us to get some much needed rest and relaxation, it also provided some amazing photo ops! We took a sunset dolphin cruise while we were...

#familytimeisthebesttime
The past month or so has been crazy busy for me! Both of my kids celebrate birthdays in May; add to that the end of school festivities (field trips, graduations...) as well as the demands of my full-time job, which were particularly demanding last month, and I felt like I was about...

Alone, But Not Lonely
For a long time after my divorce,
I thought it was impossible to be happy without a man. Just the thought of enjoying my own company,
especially for an extended period of time, seemed foreign to me. My married friends would tell me to enjoy my
singlehood, do things I enjoyed and learn who I really am without having my
identity tied up in some guy. I thought
they were crazy.
It...

Encouragement for Single Moms: It Gets Easier
When my kids were much younger, sleeping in on the weekends was pretty much unheard of. They would awaken at the crack of dawn with cries of "Mommy, I'm hungry" or "Mommy, I'm bored", or sometimes they'd just say "Mommy" for the sake of it. My body became used to rising with the morning...

Mom of a Teenager
Sounds like an insult, doesn't it? You mom of a teenager!! But that's exactly what I am. Today is my daughter's 13th birthday. And to be honest, I'm struggling to accept that she's growing up. She has always been an independent kid; somewhat of an old soul. She inherited...

Chattanooga, TN
Last weekend, I took my kids to Chattanooga for the day. It's only a 2 hour drive from Nashville, and the ride there is absolutely beautiful. I love driving up Monteagle Mountain and back down the other side. We're so high up, we have to wait for our ears to pop to...

New purpose
I have been struggling for a long time to understand my true purpose in life. I enjoy my career, but I have a hard time saying I am passionate about it. I love to hear stories of people who follow their dreams, take a huge leap to achieve their goals and make a living doing what they love.
I have always loved to take pictures but never considered becoming a professional photography. ...

Guess who's back....!!
Yep, it's me!! I guess I just couldn't keep away! After a brief (okay, maybe not so brief) hiatus, I have bitten by the blogging bug once again and decided to reopen my blog! Sounds weird I know, but it's my blog and I can do whatever I want to with it, right??
So not only am I back, but I have some very exciting news! I have been featured as a guest writer on the...
