No secret: I love my books–and my book clubs. Since I’m boring and have basically no other hobbies whatsoever, I’m lame enough to be part of several book clubs. But I love them. Don’t be fooled. On a good night, total discussion of book amounts to about 10 scattered seconds with everyone shouting in different […]
Cleaning
I hate cleaning. Loathe it. Will put it off for forever. I could do laundry or wash dishes until I am blue in the face, but cleaning…not so much. A couple days ago though, I decided to embrace my inner Mom of the Year and go for it. It went well. My son started rolling […]
Guest-posting on Wife to Mom
I was thrilled that Shara of Wife to Mom asked me to guest post today! Her blog is chock-full of great stuff ranging from DIY to parenting to recipes to working from home (she is a professional blog designer with her own design studio, www.SimplyCreativ.com). Her tagline is “Life as it happens” which is a […]
What to Expect While You Are Expecting: The Monday Review
Who has not heard of this franchise? Okay, my father claimed he hadn’t, but I told him this was impossible as it has been out for decades. Heidi Murkoff first rolled out the book What to Expect While you are Expecting in 1984. Since then, there have been multiple editions and the follow-up books What […]
An Ideal Mother’s Day
There are a couple of factors combining to make this Mother’s Day Not The Most Fun. My sister and I took a vote and decided that if we could scratch one day from the calendar this year, it would be Mother’s Day. As it is the first one we are going motherless and grandmotherless, we’re […]
10,000 Steps
10,000? Really?! I have been wearing a pedometer for most of my adult life. There have been times when it has been far easier than others to score the daily goal of racking up 10,000 steps. The thing is, regardless of how difficult it is for me to log this mileage, I know I need […]
Healthy TV Viewing?
My unsolicited thoughts on why TV watching is healthy for adults: Enjoy a program together 🙂 Watching a TV show is awesome for couples to do together. If your lives are in any way over-hectic, it can be a really good thing for us to have a dedicated time to plop ourselves down on the couch and […]
The Pediatrician’s Office Revisited
In short: her ears were fine 😉 Will this become a series?? I had posted a few months ago about my infinite success in taking my kids to my daughter’s 6 mo. well visit. As you might guess, we had some further pretty gorgeous Mom of the Year moments this time around as well. The […]
I Am Jealous of My Son’s Eyelashes
I am. They are full, dark and long. When he gets a really good cry going, they positively glisten and become the embodiment of ethereal beauty. Where did these lashes come from? Is my 2 yr. old secretly dosing Latisse during naptime? If so, where does he get it from? I always thought that 3 yr. old […]
Not a Big Fan of Change
I am, oh I am… I readily admit it–I don’t handle change well–at all. Kind of into having things safe and secure and not adding any drama to my world. But I do try my best to roll with things b/c I know that life is just full of rocking–wanted or not. I don’t think […]
