Weird week around these parts. Monday was a delight of gorgeous weather and hitting up our beloved Longwood Gardens with some of sweet friends, and then things sort of fell apart. Tuesday is vague, but I remember a lot of temper tantrums and desperate dreams of locking myself in a closet–permanently. Then Wednesday it was time […]
Fluent in Blonde Speaks My Language!
I’m excited to introduce a new friend to you today, readers. You may have noticed Fluent in Blonde bringing a dash of beauty to my sidebar recently. Ashton is the blogger behind the Blonde, and it’s been too fun getting to know her and her new blog. The thing about Ashton is that she is as witty as […]
Swapping It Up with Swapdom
I am HUGE fan of consignment and secondhand finds. I could blame it on the fact that money is super-tight in our family, and we simply don’t have the option of buying firstclass every time the kids need a new summer outfit or are lusting after a new toy. But the truth is, it’s the thrill. It’s […]
Go Love on a Blogger this Mother’s Day
There are very few things in this world that make me feel as boss as blogging. It was never something that was planned. It just happened. But it quickly became a saving grace as my daughter grew from newborn to infant, as my mother died, and as my son found himself in a body cast. And […]
Clutching, Cleaning, ‘n’ Loving It!
Friends, we all know I love my products. I find something I love and I don’t shut up about it. I annoy those around me endlessly babbling about the latest and greatest. It was almost embarrassing when I spent over half of the goodbye Bible Study raving about my new Huggies Clutch ‘n’ Clean. Almost, but […]
Tabling Forward Motion
Sunday morning my husband rolled over and whispered some sweet, sweet nothings in my ear, “I just want to sit calmly with you over a cup of coffee.” I swooned at his amorous words, “Me too.” We then looked at each other, got up and wordlessly split duty, each wrangling one fussy child into their church clothes. Over […]
Mrs. McKinley and the Teachers YOU Love
Let’s be honest–there’s not a whole lot going for you in 8th grade. There’s the cute boy you’re crushing on, sure, but extensive orthodontia, zit-pocked faces and the very confusing matter of Your Period can often prevent you from making any real headway with the hottie in algebra. It’s rough, and forget your parents, AKA […]
Motherhood’s Snot Easy
Friends, we all know that acknowledging the “not easy” part of being a Mom of the Year is what we’re all about around here. Good times. The “snot” easy? That’s a special celebration for today–go love on Boogie Wipes and score an iPad Mini! But it sure is rewarding! We know being a mom is hard […]
With H-E-B, the Cowgirl Rides Again
I’ll admit it. Before having my own daughter, I judged on other parents who let their kids run around in tutus and dresses. This wouldn’t be my daughter. No, not ever. Then I had a daughter. And she discovered dress-up. And now holy hell breaks out lest the gal isn’t sporting a fancy frilly garment […]
Throw a Birthday Party like a Boss
Birthday season in The Mom of the Year household is upon us, friends. Our entire family, immediate and extended, without exception, was born between the very end of May and October 1. What does this mean for you? A lot of upcoming scary Facebook pictures of Mommy looking like a psychotic mess and undue excessive whining […]
