He hands it out to us…take it. Every mom does this. And if she says she doesn’t, she is lying. We beat ourselves up for not being a perfect parent, as if the world isn’t condemning enough without our self-depreciation. We refuse to accept ourselves as less-than-perfect, though we will adamantly tell anyone who is […]
Mudrooms Extraordinaire
Completely unscientific observation–mudrooms are hands-down the most oft-pinned home decor “room” on Pinterest*. At first blush, I drank the kool-aid and was mindlessly right there with all my fellow pinners, happily clicking on every gorgeous mudroom set-up that came my way. Currently, I am still pinning away and lovin’ on those mudroom pics, but I […]
Pajama Jeans
WHAT HAPPENED?!? I saw the info-merical, blew it off as crazy, somehow scored an Eversave in the meantime and slunk (I wish!) my way into a pair. Now here I am, having stalked my way into owning 4 total pairs of As-Seen-on-TV pajama jeans for a mere $70. I feel like a college-age rock star […]
The Child-free Kid Birthday Party–and a Plea for an Amazing Charity
Sweet baby Lena with her Daddy after she was born Exactly 1 yr. ago my dear friend Rina found herself in Chester County Hospital delivering her precious baby girl at 28 weeks. After a few really scary and stressful months, sweet little Lena came home to live with her family and has largely been thriving […]
Not The Time, Honey
You all know what I’m talking about: you have something you DESPERATELY need to discuss with your spouse, but when you try to bring it up, you are welcomed with a big fat “Not The Time”. Which, honestly, is fantastic b/c of course, let’s just postpone the decision on whether or not your daughter’s […]
Spare Wine Corks
My dream…for the bar we don’t have. We’ve got them. Save them, religiously guard them, etc.–but for what?? Not yet sure, though I am envisioning some dramatic Martha Stewart-like project on the horizon. A lot of people have stashes of them in their home, but I’ve noticed that everyone is quick to defend how they […]
The First Vomit
Flashback 2 yrs. ago: My son had his first “real” vomit. We were spit-up champs for sure (seriously, positive we could have won a national title or something), but this was definitely different. At 8:30am, my husband had already left for work. Obviously, being a new-ish mom, I panicked, threw my 8 mo. old in […]
2012 London Summer Olympics
124 days until our beloved Games roll out…but who is counting? For someone who is hopelessly non-athletic, my obsession with the Olympics is fanatical and endless…Not sure exactly where/when it started, but I recall that one of the #1 things that attracted me to my husband 14+ yrs. ago was when I discovered he was […]
It would be so much easier to have kids…
…if you didn’t have kids. Please tell me I’m not the only one who has ever thought this. I shared this belief with my husband once, and he (of his scientifically logical ilk), was off-put by the illogic. Despite the apparent Catch 22 (if I didn’t have kids, I wouldn’t need to take care of […]
Etsy
Crap. I’ve got a new obsession. How did I even discover this one?? All I know is, somewhere between my Mom (who adored daffodils) dying and seeking thus-appropriate daffodil-themed jewelry to pang at my sister’s and my hearts, I am a full-fledged Etsy card-carrying member. At the side I have pictured a couple of the […]
