Black Friday shopping strategies are a must when wading through all the deals you are bombed with this time of year. (These ideas totally apply to Shop Local Saturday and Cyber Monday as well.) The mailers pile up in the mailbox each day and your emails are overwhelmed with “deals of the day” you just can’t miss out on. With a little strategy set up before Friday, you can navigate all the chaos in Mid-Life Goddess style.

What are your Thanksgiving Traditions?
What are your Thanksgiving traditions? Turkey or Ham? Big family dinner or small group of friends? Travel or Stay Home? I have collected a group of traditions from my sisters and girlfriend tribe — we’ll call it a Friendsgiving twist on some traditional ways to celebrate Thanksgiving. Our Family Traditions For years, while my daughters were little ones, my mother-in-law and her sisters would show up on Thanksgiving day and take over my kitchen. My contribution was a clean kitchen, a couple of decorated tables (adult and kid versions), and wine. She and her sisters would laugh, bump into each other cooking their various specialties and drink their wine. I…

What to Buy your Midlife Man for Christmas
What to buy your midlife man for Christmas? Whether it is for your husband, brother or good guyfriend, it’s always hard to find a good Christmas gift for that guy who already buys everything he wants. I end up buying him a bottle of bourbon and any last minute Amazon prime item so he has some packages to open. Not much of a Christmas morning surprise. This year I am going to be more proactive and look for some gifts he will use and love! No gift cards here — because you are better than that!

How to Meet Friends in New Places
How to meet friends in new places when you move away from the tribe you’ve had for years? All you need to do is get OUT there on the friendship hunt where other midlife ladies hang out! I recently moved to Knoxville, Tennessee — which is exactly 631 miles from my home of 25 years — Muskegon, Michigan. So I set out to meet new friends when I settled into my relocated home. I still travel to hang with my gals back home which makes our Lady’s Weekends that much more special. But a girl has got to have some local babes to hang with on the weekends! Adult “friending”…

Random Acts of Kindness
Be Kind Random acts of kindness is a thoughtful mindset that should not be so rare for a good Mid-Life Goddess. Being kind is the #1 Rule in our Goddess Rules (here). I was in the drive-thru at Starbucks the other day getting my venti no fat latte — I know that is pretty cliche’ but so yummy! In any event, when I was up to pay at the window, the barista said that the gentleman in front of me paid for my latte. Got me a little choked up — so I paid for the couple behind me. I drove away feeling blessed and it got me thinking about…
