Why is My Laptop in the Oven?

By Leave a Comment

This happened.  I could try to explain why, but it is so, so much funnier if I don’t.  Here is the situation: the laptop is my “place of business”.   Yes, nevermind that I don’t actually have a business or any means of gainful employment.  Yes, is says a lot about my sketchy (love that […]

Hot Saturday Night Date

By Leave a Comment

Notice the look of pure joy and elationon his face! My husband and I recently scored a child-free Sat. night. I know. I KNOW. So how did we celebrate? Yes, we spent the evening ripping nasty old wallpaper off our living room wall. Ah, the glamour of our lives…my husband was irked that we were […]

Confessions of Scary Mommy

By Leave a Comment

Jill Smokler, Mom Blogger Extraordinarie, just rolled out Confessions of a Scary Mommy–in bookstores as of yesterday.  Yes, I am majorly jealous–of both the fact that she got published, but also of her hysterical humor.  But above all, I am in awe.  Can you say “best Mother’s Day present ever”?? (hint, hint, husband dear).  Here […]

First Easter Egg Hunt

By Leave a Comment

How in the world can she be so on-trend and rock out so many varying prints AND a bunny bib at once?!My daughter is a fashion diva. This one epic-ly goes down among Things That Should Never Have Happened.  The scene was set beautifully.  We managed to “get in” to the Hersheypark employees annual Easter […]

In-Home Physical Therapy

By Leave a Comment

Not the case…but I am a huge fan, Megyn Kelly! We LOVE Mimi.  After a really horrendous experience with my 2 yr. old son breaking his leg and subsequently being unable to walk, we managed to find our way to the Chester County Early Intervention Unit.  After a semi-complicated process, we were led to our […]

Accepting Grace

By Leave a Comment

He hands it out to us…take it. Every mom does this.  And if she says she doesn’t, she is lying.  We beat ourselves up for not being a perfect parent, as if the world isn’t condemning enough without our self-depreciation.  We refuse to accept ourselves as less-than-perfect, though we will adamantly tell anyone who is […]

Mudrooms Extraordinaire

By Leave a Comment

Completely unscientific observation–mudrooms are hands-down the most oft-pinned home decor “room” on Pinterest*.  At first blush, I drank the kool-aid and was mindlessly right there with all my fellow pinners, happily clicking on every gorgeous mudroom set-up that came my way.  Currently, I am still pinning away and lovin’ on those mudroom pics, but I […]

Pajama Jeans

By Leave a Comment

WHAT HAPPENED?!?  I saw the info-merical, blew it off as crazy, somehow scored an Eversave in the meantime and slunk (I wish!) my way into a pair.  Now here I am, having stalked my way into owning 4 total pairs of As-Seen-on-TV pajama jeans for a mere $70.  I feel like a college-age rock star […]
