Our Good Life Information

Our Good Life is a lifestyle blog written by Terri Steffes, a wife, mother, retired principal, retired teacher, college professor, educational consultant, and foodie, and Bob Steffes, a husband, father, retired principal, retired teacher, adjunct professor, Associate Dean for the University, foodie, and cigar aficionado!




Originally, Our Good Life was a blog documenting our family's adventures. Today, it is a vibrant "front porch" discussion about food, movies, books, products, events, travel, and whatever adventures find them!
Both of us have doctorate degrees; Terri's is in Policy Analysis (Saint Louis University), and Bob's is in Educational Leadership (University of Missouri.)

We love it when brands like our blog so much that they want to be a part of it!  Partnering with our favorite brands is one of our favorite things to do.  Why would you want Our Good Life to partner with you?  Our stats show that the blog appeals to men and women of all ages from around the world! Each month, our stats are updated and growing!  We appeal to foodies, adventurers, readers, film lovers, pet parents, and so much more!
