It’s a big night around these parts, friends. To restate, I am leaving the house. Before you fall over in shock, let me tell you the whole story–it’s to ATTEND A GALA. Okay, now I’ll pause a minute while this sinks in… … Not sinking in? I know, I get it. This is truly an […]
Book Club Says Yes, Please!
For those of you that have been reading with Carrie from Normal Level of Crazy and me through this online book club: WE LOVE YOU. Trying to make a go of anything new in this blogging world is can be tricky, but we’re going to keep up with this because, quite simply, we love reading. […]
Nothing Says Christmas Like a Hallmark Channel Movie
This is one of my favorite Christmas season posts, first published two years ago. I’m happy to report that during this time, my passion for Hallmark Channel Christmas movies has only deepened. The kids are now older and require more silly things like hot meals and help with homework, so I get to watch these […]
Get the Pictures You Always Wanted
I remember the good old days. The days when I used to hold up a camera, ask my son to look at the camera, and he would SMILE. Then somewhere about age 3, his face froze in a cheesy “CHEESE” said between gritted teeth while he focuses intently on a magical fairy dancing off to the […]
The One Reason Why I Will Always Love Black Friday
Trust me, I completely understand the frustration with how Black Friday edges into Thanksgiving. At some stores, it’s even completely taken over the holiday with doors opening early Thursday morning or deals running all week long. My husband loathes pre-Black Friday Christmas. It’s one of the things he can rant about for hours, similar to his disdain for […]
Be Holiday Gift Giver of the Year!
I love Christmas, and I love shopping. Add them together and you have a delightful perfect storm of holiday fun. And a very crammed-full closet of packages waiting to be wrapped. But I also love saving my money and being really smart about my purchases. I want to make sure that each item I purchase is worth […]
When the Glass Breaks
I love my kids. I love the way my son works passionately to understand EVERYTHING and how he insists on praying for China at dinner because he is fascinated that it is already breakfast time there. I love that the knees on all my daughter’s pants are stained and worn because she throws herself into playtime […]
Smartly Navigating through the Generations
I am 35. What does this mean in this today’s world? I have young kids who run me ragged with Daniel Tiger parties while I have parents who are entering their more aged years. Or I would have “parents”, except my mother left us a couple years ago, and my very boss father is now running […]
Get Them Gifts
Friends, I think it’s officially on. While I’m trying hard to remain dedicated to visions of turkey and thoughts of thankfulness, Christmas wish lists are edging their way in to our days. Shopping season is here. In the past, I’ve been a more organized person. This year, I’m not sure if it’s that I’m getting […]
Tic Stac Toe for the Win!
I won’t lie. Sometimes when we’re on our 1600th round of Candyland for the afternoon, I am saying silent passionate prayers for the UPS man to ring the door bell…or for the washing machine to start shooting bubbles at the ceiling…or any kind of anything that could be an excuse to toss down my plastic gingerbread dude and walk […]
