Step aside, evil winter. Spring is making some gains and will officially boot your butt to the curb on March 20th. In the meantime, I refuse to be taken down any further by your nasty, grouchy biting winds and requisite extra 16 minutes required to get the children suited up in hats and mittens any time I […]
The Traumatic Vortex of the Business Trip
I had a near-death experience last week. My husband went on a business trip. I thought I was going to die. I may have. It went that well. I am fully aware that there are parents who do this all the time. Parents whose spouses travel on a regular basis and manage to get through […]
I Will Dry Your Tears
A year ago today, my mother died. It was a sad and horrible day, and I will never forget the last moments I shared with her. As she lay dying, she was unable to speak. I sat with her, and I talked with her, and tried desperately to seek closure through a one-sided conversation. Her […]
Wait, someone wants to hear what I have to say?
I’m not even going to pretend to be cool and act like I wasn’t more than a little floored when the lovely Keesha of Mom’s New Stage said she wanted to interview me for a post today. Her blog is one of the most refreshing places to land in this internet. Her tagline, “Bringing a […]
Vacationing 2.0
Okay, this is going to be fine. Pampers has sucked up your life savings and there just isn’t any extra cash to spare for a tropical retreat right now? Throw in the nasty factors of limited vacation days at work and oh, the teeny little problem of those kiddos who need someone to take care […]
Loving Every Minute!
I have a rice problem. Left to my own devices, I would happily nosh on the fluffy stuff for every meal. I just can’t get enough of rice-y goodness. So when Minute Rice asked me to try out their new Ready to Serve product, there was no arm-twisting involved. Pass that cup over and let’s […]
These Are the Times
I am so pleased to welcome Janine from Janine’s Confessions of a Mommyaholic today to share why she is declaring her title as a Mom of the Year. Janine has created a sweet space in the blogosphere where she shares about her life as a mommy to two young girls. She does it all with hearty dose […]
Listerine 21 Day Challenge Completed!
I did it! Step aside while I bust a move in celebration. There may not be too many things I’m able to cross off my goal list these days (darn kids needing to be fed and all that jazz), but I did this! I completed the Listerine 21 Day Challenge. I first introduced the challenge […]
I’m Calling Strength
Every once in a while my inner social worker tries to work her way up to the forefront. I generally try to keep her closeted because despite being the precious bleeding heart that she is, the darn girl never made me any money and I just don’t have a whole of opportunity to use her […]
10 Bonuses to Hauling the Kids with You to the Doctor’s Office
I am not a brave mother by any stretch. If I can’t figure out a way to hit an appointment sans the kiddos, I don’t go. Something must be wrong with my 3 1/2 yr. old and my 1 1/2 yr. old because they won’t sit calmly and patiently through an entire dental appointment while […]
