Lisa McKay is awesome. Several months ago, my friend E referred me to her blog at www.lisamckaywriting.com and I have since been dedicatedly following. I am continually awed and impressed with Lisa’s wit and wisdom. She currently lives in Laos where her husband serves as a humanitarian worker. She has an extensive career in psychology and […]
Throwing it Down with Spanx: The Monday Review
The original Spanx–not much has improved… Spanx. Spanx. SPANX. Oh, my mixed feelings about this supposedly-genius product for women…I think I’m probably the only woman in America who is not totally in love, so I’m pretty sure something is wrong with me. In theory, they are fantastic: they suck you in, make you look skinny, […]
Focus on the Truth
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.”–Phillippians 4:8 As a natural worrier, it is so easy for me to get fussed up about things that aren’t true and that will likely never come to […]
Mini Golfing with a Baby
“I’ll feed myself, thank you very much.” No, we’re definitely not yet cool enough to rock out several fun rounds of mini-golf as a family, but we sort of have our own version of the game going on here. You know the holes with those windmills spinning around in front of the hole? When you […]
Horror Show at Home
“Adorable”–now think of all this stuff mixed inwith dried peas, skanky cheerios, and loads of random “other”and you’re got the picture of thescary world under the plastic seat of our high chair… In the mood to see a movie? Don’t have the money, time, and/or a sitter? If you have young kids in your home and can handle a horror flick, […]
Adult Conversation
How I envision any important messages will need to be conveyed in our homefor the foreseeable future In short, adult conversation doesn’t exist when you have young kids in the home. One morning recently my husband started telling me a story (obviously about our kids, b/c what else would we talk about?) Husband: “So Isaac started […]
Chasing a Toddler Through the Mall
I need to not only start leashing my child,but investing in the company who makes said leashes… This harkens back to those blissful days of my ignorant belief that I could successfully leave the house with two children. Last summer, I decided it would be a good idea to take my 3 week old daughter […]
Alone Time
I have been in active pursuit of alone time every day since my son was born. My efforts of yet have been futile. I love my husband. I love my kids. Most days, I even love my dog. But the older I get and the more little hands I have invading my non-existent personal bubble, the […]
Yankee Candle Man Candles: The Monday Review
Yankee Candle just rolled out a new “Man Candles” line. The four featured scents are: Riding Mover, 2×4, First Down and Man Town. General disclaimer: I have not smelled any of these candles, would probably enjoy some, if not all, of them if I did, and I always love me a good Yankee candle. However, the […]
Happy 35th Birthday
Today is my husband’s 35th birthday (how in the world did we get this old?!). If you’ve been reading up and putting the pieces together–yes, my son’s b-day was yesterday. My mom’s birthday was always the day after mine. I never realized how much it would suck to have your birthday right on top of […]
