Victory!

Score!  Here’s a list of my most recent rockstar accomplishments: Yes, of course this is actually me…obviously I’m this fit and can jump that high 😉 1. I took both kids to the grocery store and left with everything on my list.  Wait, I don’t think you’re getting it fully.  Let me try again…I took […]

Going Clubbing

By Leave a Comment

The way I usually roll… In all my aged, mom of two young kids, most-safely-dressed-in-pajama jeans glory, I found myself going clubbing on Saturday night.  Yes, you read that right.  GOING CLUBBING.  This is definitely Among Things That Should Never Happen.  If I didn’t love my cousin so much, I most definitely would have bailed on her […]

I Tried to Make Cake Pops

By Leave a Comment

My vision… Somewhere in the recessive depths of my totally non-DIY mind, I decided it would be a good idea to make cake pops this year for my son’s birthday party (curses, curses, curses on Pinterest).  I could give you a detailed blow-by-blow, but I will try to keep this relatively short and simple.  That […]

The Big Dogs

By Leave a Comment

I’ll confess, I pulled out The Big Dogs a couple days ago.  Hey, give this Mom of the Year a break.  It had been a long, long day of fun at Longwood Gardens and we were totally rockin’ the day napless (never a wise choice with a baby and a toddler).  I managed to get […]
