I’ve Got to Change My Wino Ways, Baby

[ 1 ] May 13, 2013

Red wine is my downfall. I enjoy it with dinner almost every night. The problem is one glass can turn into two. And at parties three glasses can turn into four.* I share my wino ways with you because I know I’m not the only wino in Mayberry. Lots of women my age and older [...]

Guest Post by Selen Razon Hoosier women lay down your cigarettes and lift some weights. The excuses many people — Hoosier women in particular — use to avoid exercise are seemingly endless: Children take all my free time, work leaves me exhausted, it’s not any fun anyway and I’d prefer to sit and watch television.

Mother’s Day Gifts that Triple Rock

Mother’s Day Gifts that Triple Rock

[ 4 ] April 25, 2013

Moms won’t admit it, but there’s nothing worse the receiving a lame ass gift particularly one that clearly shows no thought whatsoever went into it. Sure your mom will rave over the last-minute grocery store flowers, bath robe or breakfast at Denny’s , but this year, just once, why don’t you hit it out of [...]
