My least favorite part of any questionnaire has always been the hobbies and interests section. In the past, the only hobbies and interest boxes I could have checked were shopping at the mall, nursing teenage crushes on boys, reality television, and travel. Thankfully, my thirties have found me a more confident and interesting woman. I [...]
Anyone who knows me knows that I am my own life coach. I naturally tend to approach obstacles or issues in my life pragmatically; my solutions normally being some type of life coach style activity. My main life obstacle lately has been trying to get pregnant. I want it to happen on my own timetable, [...]
Today is my 31st birthday. Having a January birthday can be hard, especially as a kid. Kids always start thinking about their birthday months ahead of time and I was no exception. I would bug my mom at the height of the holiday season about my birthday party, adding to the hustle and bustle [...]
Last night for date night, Mr. Wonderful and I watched Little Women. Clearly, it was my turn to pick, but I picked it specifically because I was thinking a lot about my sisters. We recently returned from an amazing vacation with my sister and her husband. It was even more fun than I hoped it [...]

The hot husband and I are getting ready to move into a great new place filled with glorious amenities like a fireplace, two bedrooms, a two car attached garage, a dishwasher and our very own laundry! By now we are experts at moving because as my dear friend reminded me, this will be my [...]
When I was in second grade I was a girl scout. I only did girl scouts for one year, probably because it was only made possible by the unusual circumstance of extra money in the Moyal family coffers. I was so proud to be a brownie. I remember strutting into the classroom wearing my uniform [...]
I used to love making mix tapes. I would spend a whole Saturday afternoon listening to the radio, waiting for a good song to come on and when it did, I would run over to my Sony boombox to push record. My famous “Super Sarah Mix Tapes” would constantly be played in our mini van [...]
One of the only good things about not having cable is that instead of watching A+ reality drama on “Real Housewives of XYZ” in real time, I am catching up on awesome shows of yesteryear on Netflix instant.
