    Black Friday Shopping Strategies

    November 20, 2019 / 2 Comments

    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. Please Note:  We will sometimes earn an affiliate commission on the sales of products we link to at no additional cost to you.  I will only feature items I genuinely love and want…

    What are your Thanksgiving Traditions?

    November 15, 2019 / 4 Comments

    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

    November 4, 2019 / 1 Comment

    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

    October 24, 2019 / No Comments

    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

    October 16, 2019 / No Comments

    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…

    JR Ward’s Readers on the River in Louisville was Fabulous!

    September 18, 2019 / 24 Comments

    The Mid-Life Goddess hit up Louisville, Kentucky for JR Ward’s Readers on the River romance author gathering with 1001 Dark Nights and had a fabulous time. My good girlfriend Tricia and I took off Friday morning from Knoxville for the four hour drive and made the most of the trip by soaking in all that Louisville had to offer while partying with our fellow book babes, awesome authorettes, and YES – JR Ward! JR Ward Ms. Ward had an enlightening interview with Christopher Rice (yes, Anne Rice’s adorable son) to blast off the weekend for her readers and she was a total hoot! Her signature book series is the Black…
