Source Okay, so when did the magazines my mother used to read become cool? Did Ladies’ Home Journal and Redbook suddenly totally rework themselves or am I the one who changed? After focusing on parenting magazines last week, this week I’m looking at magazines for the ladies. When my dear friend R gifted me with […]
Kids’ Birthday Parties
Source If you have haven’t gathered this by now, I’m not a huge fan of kid birthday parties. I am hosting a big one later today for my daughter. In general, I eschew the modern day trend of hosting a travelling petting zoo/hiring a dancing princess clown/renting out Disney World for the day. But my […]
Hangin’ Poolside
At some point in the early summer, my son developed an irrational ginormous fear of any body of water. Not talking lakes, rivers, or even a big pool here. Instead, think baby pool or bathtub. This obviously wasn’t going to fly; this Mom of the Year simply doesn’t have enough energy at the end of […]
Happy Birthday, Baby
Elyse, you are gorgeous. You are sweet. You are funny. You are my precious, little 1 yr. old baby girl. And NO ONE can rock that hat like you do. Happy birthday, baby 😉
Dressing the Kids
Saw this on GraphJam.com, and decided my children are the ideal Walmart patrons thanks to my husband’s dressing “efforts”… Okay, I’m not a fashion diva by any stretch and am not a fan of dressing my kids up like dolls, but I do have some general standards. As in, the clothing doesn’t necessarily have to […]
The Classiest Broad at the Wedding
I know, you can’t tell by how well I maintain my classiness, but the heat index was actually 108–feel for me a little. We are in the thick of wedding season right now. Weddings are great. Sure, I won’t lie–I definitely have my characteristic planning freak-out usually shortly after the initial invitation (Who will babysit? […]
Liebster Award
When Steph over at The Healthy Mom, nominated me for the Leibster Award, I definitely started workin’ a little bit of a rockstar strut. Thank you so much, Steph! See, I’ve never won anything before…okay, well maybe an award for doing a bunch of sit-ups in a row at field day in second grade or […]
Parenting/Parents Magazines: The Monday Review
Source 3+ years ago, when I was a proud parent-to-be, I fell in love with these publications. I read them, felt like an extraordinarily responsible knocked-up lady and learned a lot. Fast-forward to present-day and I still subscribe to both Parents and Parenting magazines. I still learn stuff by reading them. But…maybe not loving them as […]
Get It Together!
Source I feel like I spend over half my days wishing I could “just get it together”. Tell me I’m not alone! It’s just that this parenting thing is HARD, you know? We’ve got a lot of stuff in over favor–stable job, good home, relative health. All of these are huge blessings, I know. We’ve […]
The Demise of TomKat
Source In a world where celebrities marry and divorce more frequently than I can get in a trip to the grocery store, this probably shouldn’t count as a big deal. And for someone who is not a Tom Cruise fan, it’s crazy that I’ve basically dedicated the entire summer of my blog to him (okay, […]
