“Get Organized for 2020” should be at the top of your New Year’s resolution list if resolutions are your thing. I am not really a resolutions “list” type of gal — more a follow the Mid-Life Goddess Rules to Live By and you will be good for the year! An organized day, makes for a much more soothing week, leading to a more functional home. In the words of Leslie Knope “you’re beautiful and you’re organized!” (That’s an inside Parks and Rec joke for those in the know.) So let’s do this now. Budget Booyah! Organizing your financial life begins with a practical budget and sticking to it. Discussing your…

Hosting a Fabulous Christmas Dinner Party
Hosting a fabulous Christmas dinner party is a wonderful way to connect with your girlfriends……AFTER Christmas. For several years I hosted a friendly lady’s dinner party each year after the Christmas hubbub settled down. It would be a night for just hanging out with my good gal friends, eating a delicious meal and relaxing after the crazy holiday. I so miss this event as I have now moved south, but I still have all the go to suggestions on how to pull off the perfect dinner party. Mid-Life Goddess rule # 9 (here) states “A Goddess lives to Entertain and be Entertained!” Being a Hostess with the “Mostest” is a…

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…
