We have a Situation on our hands, all 30-somethings. PBS went and rolled out a knock-out Masterpiece Classic TV series (move aside, childhood fav The Princess and the Pea with Liza Minnelli) that has all of us procreating-age people reeling. At first, I just thought my husband and I were super “on-trend” (albeit 3 seasons […]
Toddler Playdate Phenomena
I feel like we’ve hosted enough of these recently that I have become aware of some recurring playdate phenomena. No, not the expected typical “your child will flock to whatever toy another child is playing with even though he has ignored it for the past 3 months” or “your child will inevitably be the only […]
Neverland Nook Needs…
I have been waiting for an opportunity to make a direct shout-out to my beloved fellow bloggers, Sabrina and Leslie from Neverland Nook. Their grab button is on the side of my blog, but their awesomeness needs to be directly called out. These women have an amazing and fun Etsy shop where they sell homeade […]
“There is a Time…”
…for everything under heaven” Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Regardless of how you roll religiously, almost everyone knows this verse, “A time to live and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot…” and so on. This has been on my heart lately b/c there are a lot of things I haven’t been […]
Smartphone Fantasies
Current model I am using…Yes, along with shout-out to the notorious Zach Morris 🙂 Exactly 3 months from today, we will FINALLY be breaking into the world of smartphones–praise God, we will have arrived! The sob story in a nutshell: almost 2 yrs. ago in an attempt to be a cool Mom of the Year […]
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the Kids
Before kids, I understood basically two ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. The classy: And the not-so classy: Yes, both images actually obtained by typing“St. Patrick’s beer hats” into Google Images…tremendously huge selection, FYI… Now, after having kids, as far as I can surmise, I am supposed to beautifully decorate shamrock cookies with my children, […]
Guest Blogger Sara: “I’m With the Band”
I was beyond tickled pink when my beloved, hysterical friend and fellow SAHM, Sara Webster, agreed to guest blog for me. I’m lucky, b/c as her friend, I get to LOL on an almost daily basis at her witty commentary on raising young children. God bless her, she watched my children one day recently (overnight […]
I Dream of Disney
So do I, Disney, so do I… Ouch. This one is as hard to type as it is to conceive. The thing is, I firmly thought people who took children too-young-to-remember to Disney World were CRAZY. Down-right, flat-out crazy. Why spend all that money (and effort) on something the kids would forget? Then I had […]
The “Must Be Nice” SAHM Life and Other Really Dumb Things People Say
Dicey territory here for sure, but this article made me think about things that people say that ruffle my feathers. A dear, dear friend B who has most definitely logged her years as a rockin’ SAHM asked me the other day, “So being staying home with the kids is a lot of work, huh?”. I […]
Shopping Under the Influence
As it turns out, shopping under the influence of grief is not wise choice…Last week before my mom’s memorial service, I decided I needed to get a haircut. Since my husband was off work, I left an hour early to make “a quick trip to Target to get a few things I needed.” I have […]
