Current model I am using…Yes, along with shout-out to the notorious Zach Morris 🙂 Exactly 3 months from today, we will FINALLY be breaking into the world of smartphones–praise God, we will have arrived! The sob story in a nutshell: almost 2 yrs. ago in an attempt to be a cool Mom of the Year […]
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with the Kids
Before kids, I understood basically two ways to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. The classy: And the not-so classy: Yes, both images actually obtained by typing“St. Patrick’s beer hats” into Google Images…tremendously huge selection, FYI… Now, after having kids, as far as I can surmise, I am supposed to beautifully decorate shamrock cookies with my children, […]
Guest Blogger Sara: “I’m With the Band”
I was beyond tickled pink when my beloved, hysterical friend and fellow SAHM, Sara Webster, agreed to guest blog for me. I’m lucky, b/c as her friend, I get to LOL on an almost daily basis at her witty commentary on raising young children. God bless her, she watched my children one day recently (overnight […]
I Dream of Disney
So do I, Disney, so do I… Ouch. This one is as hard to type as it is to conceive. The thing is, I firmly thought people who took children too-young-to-remember to Disney World were CRAZY. Down-right, flat-out crazy. Why spend all that money (and effort) on something the kids would forget? Then I had […]
The “Must Be Nice” SAHM Life and Other Really Dumb Things People Say
Dicey territory here for sure, but this article made me think about things that people say that ruffle my feathers. A dear, dear friend B who has most definitely logged her years as a rockin’ SAHM asked me the other day, “So being staying home with the kids is a lot of work, huh?”. I […]
Shopping Under the Influence
As it turns out, shopping under the influence of grief is not wise choice…Last week before my mom’s memorial service, I decided I needed to get a haircut. Since my husband was off work, I left an hour early to make “a quick trip to Target to get a few things I needed.” I have […]
Time Change
Who thought of this one? Obviously no one with young kids. Seriously, is the precise timing of the calculated bedtime ritual not delicate enough without throwing the whole routine off by an hour? I work hard for my children’s bedtimes, and I don’t care whether the Daylight Saving conspiracy is taking or throwing an hour […]
Consignment Sales: Tis the Season
Parents, we have arrived. The spring consignment sale season is upon us, praise God! Without reservation or shame, I readily admit I am addicted to consignment sale shopping. The amount of fantastic kids’ goods you can score for a fraction of retail price is astounding. Armed with my list of needed items (including detailed shoe […]
I Never Wish My Kids Knew…
…that I: 1. Considered propping them curbside with a “for-sale” sign (I know, contact Child Abuse Authorities immediately) 2. Wished that they were 6 yrs. old when they were only 6 mo. old. 3. Secretly fantasized about sedating them. 4. Sedated them with Benedryl. 5. Debated whether or not having children was “fiscally responsibly” 6. Been […]
The Postmortem
I looked up “postmortem” b/c I wasn’t sure what it meant exactly. Turns out we’ve got two very appropriate definitions going on here: “discussion of an event after it has occurred” and “occurring or done after death”, so this is most definitely The Postmortem Post. This past week was one of the most bizarre of my life. I can’t […]
