Photo source My alarm goes off. I wake up, with half of my head on the pillow and half on the edge of the mattress, the end piece of “bread” to our P-Liv-Me sandwich. To our far left is 2/3 of a comfy king-sized bed. I just don’t understand. I reach down and grab…

Tips for better sleep
This post is sponsored by Nature’s Way. Instead of focusing on perfection on the food and fitness front – I don’t think it exists and wouldn’t make life very fun – I do aim to be consistent wherever I can. I eat a pretty clean diet (with room for the fun stuff in there, too),…

Penelope says
“Penelope, stop doing that!” “Oh yeah, sorry. I was just breaking it.” P was in the backseat, silent, which was weird, so I said, “Hey P, are you doing ok back there?” “Oh yeah. I’m just living my best life.” Me: “Oooh did you just see that lightning?” P: “ Why…
