Upside : Gas App
Have you ever used Upside? It’s an app where you look for the nearest gas station that offers cash back. For me it’s usually a Casey’s. They also have offers on restaurants and other things, but I’ve only ever used it for gas.  Check out this free app that gets you cash back on…

Fancy car wash
I just had my first experience at a fancy car wash. It’s one of those places where you can get a membership, but I just needed a quick wash. (My windshield was almost impossible to see through this evening.) You pull in, they have signs explaining what you’re supposed to do, but I still didn’t…

Do you have a term of endearment that you use when frustrated? Mine is honey. When I find myself overwhelmed or annoyed with the kids I hear myself using a stern tone and saying honey a lot. It reminds me of P&P when Elizabeth tells Darcy not to call her my dear bc it’s what…

Eyes
Have you ever met anyone with two different colored eyes? That is called heterochromia. You can also have partial heterochromia, where one eye has a spot of another color. Or central heterochromia, where there are two distinct rings of color in each eye. I have central heterochromia. My eyes are green with a brown ring.…

Marriage Advice
I am not currently, nor have I ever been married. But several of my siblings are and it has made me think a lot about weddings and marriage. One of the most powerful things I’ve ever heard about marriage was from a friend in grad school. Her mother told her it was very important to…
