EMPTY NESTERS FINALLY TOOK A CRUISE FOR 10 REASONS. EMPTY NESTER KAREN NOT A FAN OF CRUISING AND STILL NOT

Opposites attract or so its been said. Brad is a patient person. I knew that when I married him and I married him any way. On the other hand, I am not so patient. I am working on it and at least I own it. As a young parent though, I did learn how to be a patient mother and wife (Brad and the boys might attest otherwise). I realized that it wasn't so important to "win" the discussion as it was to "listen" to all. Then the boys flew the coop and and so did some of my patience.

Empty Nesting resulted in me oversharing and this blog, Empty Nesters Finally. Not a mid life crisis just a reason to share crazy pictures o

When Brad and I became empty nesters we talked a lot (I talked Brad listened) about how we would enjoy this "empty nest" time in our lives. We wanted to have unbelievable experiences that we would be able to remember when we were "older". We wanted to create memories that would last our lifetime and then some. We realized that for us, experiences were what we desired for this phase of our lives. I am not saying Brad is off the hook permanently from buying me a gift but for

Exercise has always been an important part of one empty nester finally's life. Guess who? But now both of our lives have been changed for the better. We got @onePeloton bike (after much thought and discussion) for our anniversary in November. This joint gift was a no brainer (at least for me - Brad definitely needed some persuading.) I had to promise him I would clap for him when he finishes a ride..... Positive Reinforcement doesn't matter how old you are. The Peloton bi

PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED BUT ITS THROW BACK THURSDAY SO ......... Ever since we became Empty Nesters I have made it my mission to find different and interesting healthy food to make for Brad and me. This week it is Quinoa. Neither Brad nor I can pronounce it correctly so I can only hope that I can cook it well. I was watching Dr. Oz (Brad is not a big fan of me watching shows like that ) and quinoa was the special guest. Dr. Oz toted the health benefits of the grain as well as t

DISCLAIMER: PREVIOUSLY POSTED ON FEBRUARY 2, 2013 - POETIC LICENSE HAS BEEN TAKEN - ADDITIONS IN BOLD. Being an Empty Nester definitely has advantages but it also has its disadvantages as well. It is the 5 month anniversary of empty nesters finally which has chronicled my empty nester life so far ( if I only knew then what I know now.) It has been quite an adjustment being an empty nester (more than I care to admit) . But Brad and I would have no problem (How naive could I

Who knew there would be more empty nesters finally life changers? I am all about making my life (and yours too) easy. I know you have been patiently waiting and my amazing life changer for the holidays is a ..... It's a Buffet Server. It works a a server and warming tray. I got it @Target and it was less than $30. Less than $30!!! GAME CHANGER. LIFE CHANGER. This really made serving on Thanksgiving so much easier. You can ask all my guests how much I was gushing about i

OPEN TABLE and Empty Nesters Finally go hand in hand. This is a huge Life Hack for us and now our family and friends. Brad will gladly take credit for all our friends using Open Table. Not sure it's true but I will give him this one. We use it on our phone , computer, IPAD ..... We have been using Open Table for 8 years and gotten many points which equals free meals or gift cards. Winner Winner. If you are going out to eat you might as well get credit, right ??! It's a gr

I am obviously addicted to lists so in no particular order: 1. I miss watching Pardon the Interruption (PTI) on ESPN and then getting quizzed at a later date about a sports statistic. 2. We miss having a house full of boys watching sports on TV. I am sure Brad misses this more since it's just the TVs and me now. 3. I miss having a reason to always have chips and salsa in the house. Also, cookies brownies, etc... 4. I miss having family dinners even if I never said anythi

Empty Nesters (at least empty nesters finally) tend to discuss things (a lot). Most would think that after being married for a while, you would be able to read each other's mind. That might be true for some, but not for Brad and I. Brad is always telling me that I must be specific with all my wants, needs, etc. that he does not have ESP. I thought one of the benefits of being married so long should be not having not to spell everything out for each other. I definitely rea

Most Empty Nesters love to travel and view the empty nest as the beginning of their travel adventures. Brad and I take a "holiday" (see blog July 26, 2018: Empty Nesters go on a Holiday) for lots of reasons. We love to visit family, go to places in my travel folder (I have folder for everything) and we "must" go to every Starbucks possible, more on that later. We love to fly Southwest. They are a great airline that go to many spots we love to visit (Dallas). But boarding f
