Before we share this virtual book club meeting with you, Carrie of Normal Level of Crazy and I always meet in person to chat up our picks. It’s my favorite monthly calendar date. Recently, Carrie has take a dramatic turn for the healthy (true story: I mistook her for a fit young teen when I saw […]
The Easy Bathroom Refresh
***This post was sponsored by Wayfair*** I often walk into other people’s houses and think, “How did they do this?” as I’m awed by the magazine spread-like gorgeousness of my surroundings. While I’m pretty sure Better Homes and Gardens won’t be beating down my door to feature my house any time in the next century, […]
Spring Cleaning for the Busy Mom
Cleaning and I aren’t besties–by any stretch. Yet since I’m not a huge fan of dust bunnies and cobwebs, we’ve called a bit of truce, and when Kimberly-Clark and The Motherhood asked to sponsor a post sharing my spring cleaning tips with you, I was more than delighted to share the ins and outs of this […]
Family Brunch at Grand Lux Cafe
True story: my husband and I are rather abysmal at taking our children out to eat. But when Grand Lux Cafe contacted me and asked to host our family for brunch so I could share our experience with you in this sponsored post, I was intrigued. Intrigued enough to put aside my general fear of taking my circus […]
Delicious and Easy Ways to Use Peanut Butter Powder

Yet […]
Packing for a Ninja Convention
I am unarguably the worst packer in the world. Seriously, I win the title. When it comes to planning a trip, I rock. I can nail an agenda and a to-stash-in-carry-on list like a boss. I plot and scheme details of a vacation with such fervor, travel agents swoon with envy (this last part is entirely […]
Check One for the Family TV Milestone
True confession: I’m 36 years old and I don’t know how to use our TV. When kids came into the picture, screen time quickly became the same Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD played on repeat on while Mommy stole showers or fought her way through burning yet another dinner. By the time Mickey’s antics were outgrown, the […]

I Want Them to Know Her
Four years ago today, my mom died. When she first left, I relied heavily on this blog as a therapy. My readers, my patient, kind readers, let me say the words I needed to say, often over and over as the processing gave way to bits of healing. There are many reasons I give thanks for […]
