Things They Don't Tell You About Aging

This Can't Be Just Me, Right? Right?

by: Sharon DeVellis

Errrrr…..can we talk about this aging thing just for a minute?

This is not a woe-is-me post. I’m proud to be 43. My 40s have, so far, been good to me. I’m in kick-ass shape and have better cardio capability than I did in my 20s. There is a freedom in 40 that I didn’t have in my younger years. A what-the-hell-I-might-as-well-try-who-cares-if-I-look-stupid attitude that makes life more fun.

But there are also things people never told me about getting older. Things that are quite shocking to say the least.

How Much Is Alcohol Aging You?

Find Out With The Drinking Mirror App

by: Sharon DeVellis

It's no secret that many moms drink. We settle down after the kids go to bed and enjoy a glass of wine (or two) or we go out with our girlfriends or enjoy a drink with dinner. We joke on Twitter and Facebook asking if it's wine o'clock. We ask if it's cocktail hour. I get it. I love my glass of wine in the evenings.

But this? Holy Hannah. I don't know how I stumbled across it but stumble I did.

End-Of-School-Year Gift-Giving Etiquette

Who To Buy For And What To Give

by: Sharon DeVellis

“Which teachers do I give an end-of-year gift to?” is the nightmare parent equivalent of “Who do I tip at a salon?”

My older son has a class teacher, a music teacher, an art teacher, a french teacher, and an educational assistant who helps out in the class. My younger son has his class teacher, a student teacher, and a gym teacher.

Let us not forget the crossing guards who help them get across the streets safely.
