Hey there, friends! It’s been a hectic couple of weeks for all of us here at WMAG. We’ve had new jobs, deaths in the family, jury duty and migraines, not to mention the start of summer, which is always fun as we juggle work with kids being out of school. As many of you remember, [...]

I Need My Female Friends
The other day I took a dress to an alterations shop to have it hemmed. As I got ready to leave, I caught a glimpse of myself in the shop’s full-length mirror in natural daylight, quite different from the light in my tiny bedroom at home. And I discovered that the skirt I was wearing–the [...]

Tasty Tuesday – Pasta with Meat Sauce
We eat a lot of pasta at our house, and I’ve opened a lot of jars of Prego—more than I’d like to admit. I’m not throwing shade on canned sauces; they’re definitely quick and easy in a pinch and some of them are pretty tasty. But lately I’ve been rediscovering how easy it is to [...]

It’s another crazy week at my house. On Thursday I fly to Kansas with my daughters to attend my grandmother’s funeral. In preparation, I’ve been planning outfits and doing laundry, coordinating with school so my oldest won’t miss any important assignments, making sure I’ve taken care of work so that my absence won’t hold up [...]
Tasty Tuesday – Whatever’s in My Fridge
Are any of our readers accountants, or married to accountants? If so, then you can appreciate what the last month has been like at my house. Busy season was a b*&# this year, as my husband worked to help his old employer meet the April 15 tax deadline before going directly into a new job. [...]

Breaded pork chops are something she just instinctively knows how to make but can barely describe. Well, this weekend I found a [...]

Today is a Mom Karma kind of day. This a.m. I took my friend’s two sons to school, and will every Tuesday and Friday for the rest of the school year since she has to take an early-morning class. This afternoon I have late work meetings, so my friend down the street, who gets off [...]
