In 2017 I took a motorcycle ride that turned out to be the adventure of a lifetime. I wrote about it in my local newspaper, but so many people were interested in the story that I thought it would be a good idea to put it into a book, and that's what I spent the... Continue Reading →
This Mother’s Day, Just Leave Mom the Hell Alone

Snowmobile hijackings, Trail Terror & Badass of the Weekend
Part Three of Three Parts Saturday night’s dinner was leisurely, as we all knew it was one of the last amazing meals we were going to have for the weekend.

Dog sledding, skijoring and snowshoeing in the Great Northwoods

Confession Is Good For The Soul… Right?
A little something about the title of this page, "Lady Lovin Her Life." Whenever I am asked for my email, which is ladylovinherlife@gmail.com, I usually get a reaction.

A Little Perspective Goes A Long Way
It’s funny sometimes how perspective creeps up on you. When something you never think about suddenly hits you from another angle and BOOM! A whole other door opens to a concept you hadn’t considered before. Well, that happened last week. A dear friend of mine was falsely accused of something that never actually happened. Another...
