SKEEET!! My friends are steadily turning 60 right before my eyes. What the actual hell is going on. When my mom turned 60, that meant that she was old. And now my friends are turning 60. Does they mean they are old and am I almost there myself. Hell no. 60 isn't what it used to be. It's young, even if our backs, diabetes, arthritis, hearts, and prostates don't agree all the time.

It's deep. Yessir. But my brain wouldn't let me write about anything else this week.  Bottom line - there are lots of reasons why we don't ask for help when we need it. There are even lots of things that could happen if we don't ask for help. But there's only one way to ask for the help and it goes like this... "Can you help me?" You think it's better to go...

Tami Kraus, aka @tami.in.between, began preparing for an empty nest before her fourth child left for college. She knew that if she rested she would rust.

I've been a little nostalgic over the last couple of weeks. There is something about this late summer time of year with school starting around the corner that makes me yearn for the days when my kids were at home and we were experiencing all the things. Now they are gone, and so are all of those sweet days. It is totally okay to visit the sweet days and precious moments, but it's another...

You will definitely want to listen to this is you even have the faint curiosity or sniff of acknowledgement that you just might be guilty. Mike didn't know what popcorning was, but was still convinced I was guilty before I even started reading the blog to him.  HAHAHA Figures. But alas, it's always because we (as women) are definitely superior and if we do this popcorning thing, it has t...

As brand builder Sally Mueller entered perimenopause and all of the symptoms that go with it, she found that the products available on the market were all things she definitely would not be putting in her body. The menopause market was antiquated and obviously designed by men. She did not see herself in the products offered. So she and her partner in business, Michelle Jacobs , created and started...

On tonight's reading of the Friday Night BeerBlog, we are talking about how to know when and why to take vacations. EVERYONE needs to take a break - recharge - sharpen your saw ... whatever you want to call it.

Freedom is the driver for fitness in this phase of life. Kelly reminds us that at this time we may have more time, money, and less responsibility, but if we don't have the fitness to be able to enjoy those things, we've missed a central life component.

What is the FNBB anyway?

Our "little" boy is turning 25 this TO-DAY. I remember when I was turning 25 - I had so many expectations about my life and thoughts of how life would be.

It's easy to put so much pressure on yourself to have it all figured out, but the universe is freaking laughing at you. Jus...

I am NOT a friend of the word messy. But that is the perfectionist in me. I have heard ad nauseam over the last year the phrase "Just do it messy" in reference to trying something new. And I get it. Nobody want Analysis Paralysis, but the perfectionist in me has had a hard time dealing with and figuring out what is next in my "midlife unraveling" as Brene Brown calls it. But th...
