Music is the universal language of mankind. ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It’s not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change.” ― Miles Davis

Who doesn’t love pie? Let’s take some time to make sure we have enough slices to go around!

Number rules the universe ~Pythagorus

The peace that comes with realizing how very little it matters what strangers think about what you are doing or how you look is priceless. It’s also simple but not easy.

Hate the players or hate the game? How will we move our country forward?

No matter what phase of life you’re in, remember to find those times that offer you grace and space.

Never let the number of friends you have matter more than the depth of your connections.

No two besties, siblings, or parents melt down at the same time.

L’s wanderlust leads her to ponder where the next horizon of her life will appear.

What were you made for? Today we’d love to hear where your authentic self belongs! Let us know in the comments below Here’s L’s:

How do you honor the end of a beautiful chapter of your life? Maybe Tiffany’s is the answer…

How do you find your bliss? Do you ever wonder if your heart is happy with your actions?

How are you there for people when you can’t actually be there? ….

We all tell ourselves stories, which ones do you choose to listen to? How do we rewrite them once we are tired of hearing the same ones year after year? More …

Our daughter, (our baby!) just accepted her invite to college last night (Go Lumberjacks). I’m still in shock as I write this seeing as I feel like John and I’ve only been out of college (Go Badgers) for like 5 years (turns out it’s 34 – math was not my strongest subject). But of course […]

So why the name Lit Sugar? Well hopefully it’s sorta catchy? It’s supposed to be 🙂 But it really stems from my original hopes for this site – to be sweet and kind – qualities that mean so much to me and that I strive for every day. And also to start something – to […]

I am you. I am your sister, neighbor, friend or mom. In short I am an ordinary everyday woman you’d meet on any day of the week. I don’t have the directions to the fountain of youth (I can’t even read maps), nor do I have any idea what trick will make you lose 20 […]

Welcome, I’m glad that you made it to this page! It takes a lot of courage to write about yourself in a public space. Why did I do it? I chose to start this project with my bestie because… we get it. If it has happened, between our families and life happenings, we have probably […]

I absolutely love AAA and just wanted to hop on to extol its amazingness. I cannot think of another club I’ve joined that has been even remotely as useful. As a kid I remember my mom going to the AAA office and getting our “Triptik” – anyone else remember those? Ok, so for you youngins […]

I grew up about 30 minutes away from Green Bay, Wisconsin. To say that football was a big deal in my hometown is a gross understatement. Driving into town there are miles of billboards with the current team’s hero larger than life telling you why you should buy a car at a specific dealership. We […]

“It’s fine, I’m sure I’ll figure it out”. Is this a sort of life mantra for anyone else? I feel like I should have a t-shirt that says it. I’ve said it my whole life and it really does end up being the truth. Clearly I am talking on a personal level – I understand […]

Once upon a time, I was magic and could move mountains, or build them. The world was simple and I had glitter on my feet and left a trail of sparkles wherever I sailed through life. I was kind and generous. My light wasn’t dim. I had an amazing dreamy first job and had met […]

I’m not doing it. No thank you. I’ll pass. I’m not starting my new year in January. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not moving out to the desert to be a hermit or anything, I’ll still change the year on my checks. But this whole idea of a gluttonous December (allll the way til the […]

After one of our moves and our first holiday, our new neighbors celebrated Christmas Eve Eve. I loved it! I’m a celebratory kind of gal! I celebrate everything, there’s nothing better than goodwill and a reason to be happy with others! Christmas Eve Eve is an awesome idea, you have to stop and celebrate, and […]

Christmas Eve Eve Eve, who knew? I am swinging from the chandeliers! It’s good that none of my usual partners in crime are available! 😉 I will have to make Holidays and sprinkle joy wherever the day takes me. That’s where you come in… What a long weeeeek. And then to get the gift of […]

Everyone is on a different Journey. In case you aren’t exactly in the celebratory season this Holiday. This is for you. I’m a bubbly, make-it-happen kinda gal. Celebratory, whether it’s the tiniest win, a big win, my win, or the checkout person at the grocery store’s win. I celebrate. Someone said to me, see, you’re […]

Happy 2024! Ok, you know how I said no one HAS to be all behind and stressed out at holidays? While I still believe that is true – that was not the case for me this year! Our family has one birthday on Halloween, another exactly one week later, another mid-December and then one 2 […]
