The Little PEEP Show That Could

The Little PEEP Show That Could

I’m going to keep this short and sweet (like a PEEP).  You’re welcome!  I’m also going to assume that you know what a PEEP show is (no, not that kind, you dirty birds…the kind that involves Marshmallow PEEPS).  My latest mini field trip was to The Frederick Basket Companyto see the 2nd Annual Frederick PEEP Diorama Competition.  This year’s theme was “A PEEP Into Your Happy Place” with…

Talk Dirt(y) to Me

Talk Dirt(y) to Me

I can feel it and smell it in the air. Fresh mulch, that is. Spring is here!  And there’s nothing that makes me happier than getting dirty — getting down on my hands and knees, and putting my hands in a big pile of mulch and spreading it around. I know it’s not the sexiest thing you’re gonna do today, but where there’s passion, anything’s possible.

There are multiple types of mulch…

Party Ready –Chapter 1

Party Ready –Chapter 1

I know you all have read the blog “Party Ready”.  If you have not, do it now!  I am setting out to do a little bit of a series spinoff.  In Party Ready, I talked about how music is an integral piece in being prepared.  I spoke about Amazon and how it offers music with your Prime Membership. I, myself, am guilty of not fully taking advantage of all the benefits of my Prime Membership.  I will tell…

D.I.N.K. 1

D.I.N.K. 1 grew up in rural Pennsylvania and, after almost getting a full ride to the State pen, she instead attended Penn State purportedly on either a gymnastics or a baton twirling scholarship.  Anything but a shrinking-violet, DINK 1 is a natural leader: focused, hard working, opinionated and, with the assistance of a few cocktails, loud and brash.  She is unafraid to speak truth to power.  In response, power rarely gets in a word.  She loves to cook and bake and is our pre-eminent hostess, which is perfect because D.I.N.K.1 tends to hit it hard early, holding court and cranking it up to maximum volume by 7:30 at night, start head bobbing by 7:45, and then crashing out cold by 8 pm.  On rare occasions when she powers through the 8 pm barrier, board up your windows lest D.I.N.K. 1 throw a rock through it.

Walk-up Song:  “Shot! Shot! Shot!” (LMFAO)

Drink: Yes, please!

Status: Divorced and re-married.

Kids: None

Favorite Curse: Are you shitting me?

Smokes: American Spirits

Dream Hottie: Saquon Barkley

Current Pet: 1 dog ( a “designer Morkie”…get it right!)

Most likely DINK to: Imagine a crime was committed that never happened, yet somehow managing to solve anyway.

Alleged claim to fame: Related to the f##kin’ Queen of England!

To D.I.N.K. or not to D.I.N.K.

Ahhh, the relationship talk. You know the one I’m talking about. It usually happens about a year/year and a half into a steady relationship. What do you want from this relationship? Do you see us together for the long haul? Where are we going from here? Should we move in together? Get married?  

Sigh.

I have been in a couple of serious relationships since my divorce. This conversation…

4 Non-Moms‘ mission is to promote the well-being not only of women throughout the world who are blessed to be without the blessing of children, but also of all men who identify with such women. Together with friends, partners, and guests, 4 Non-Moms strives to transform their listeners, create unlikely communities and generally wreak havoc by scaling the palisades of propriety, crawling under the barbed wire of cultural norms, and flirting with – nay, bedding – risks about which others dare not even dream.

My Starstruck Tour of Charm City

My Starstruck Tour of Charm City

Hello again, friends!  I had so many genius ideas for my latest field trip but, alas, they were all thwarted for one reason or another.  Fortunately, my alternate plan turned out to be a blast!  I present to you, My Starstruck Tour of Charm City.  

The premise of my tour was to visit a smattering of sites in Baltimore MD, either beloved by a famous native or in which someone famous once…

How to install a kitchen backsplash

How to install a kitchen backsplash

I have been branded the DIY non-mom of the group. Honestly, I love a good project and because I have extra time I find DIY extremely rewarding.

Recently, I had the opportunity to help DINK 4 with her new apartment and tile backsplash. The project outlined below can easily be converted for a bathroom or an accent wall.

Measure, Tile and Supplies

When purchasing tile the most important…

Party Ready?

Party rock is in the house tonight.  Everybody just have a good time.  And we gon’ make you lose your mind. 🎵🎵

My husband and I obviously do not have children (thus, the term “DINK”) and we have a kick-ass back yard. We are always pulling off a last-minute party because, let’s face it, we are party central.  When someone asks us if we are party-ready, the answer is always, hell yes!  I…

Who decided it was moms vs non-moms?

Who decided it was moms vs non-moms?

There are some things that just get my ire.  People who speak for all, are self-important, and build themselves up by putting others down are just a few items that make me irate.  Oddly enough, I found all of the above in an article about what non-moms should know!

I choose to respond to the author of this article in particular not only because of what she said, but how.  Now, I understand…

Who gives you the most flack about being childfree  or choosing to be childfree-- family, friends, acquaintances?  Would love to get some answers.

Crystal Grottoes Caverns

I have lived in Frederick MD for 17 years and I have never been to Crystal Grottoes Caverns!  Well, today is the big day!  Here were my preliminary visit thoughts:  Should I wear my coveralls and headlamp…and bring a flask?  Safety first!  Also wondering if they will be providing helmets.  I hope so, purely for the fashion statement.

Here is the reality.  No need for headlamps, helmet, or…
