I have endless memories of my mother, a natural-born shopper, delighting in browsing the shops at Cape May, NJ on our vacations. Much to my husband’s chagrin, I’ve inherited her shopping gene. That’s cool; he can go ahead and roll his eyes in the corner, I’m too thrilled with my hunting for special treasures to notice his silliness. […]
ThredUp for the Teacher in Your Life!
My mother, my greatest teacher hero, was SOLD OUT for her students. She would do anything, any time of day or night, with any stretch to her personal budget to get them what they needed for a proper shot at success. I shared a little bit about this before, in a post very near and […]
The Things I Hope My Daughter Never Learns
Today, my little gal turns the big 4. Mind-blowing when you consider the many days I doubted we would ever make it to 4 o’clock, much less 4 years. Elyse amazes me. She amazes me in the way that sometimes I look at her and wonder, “Is this creature real?” This astoundment might happen after she does […]
Bank the Savings with Groupon Coupons
Readers, we know I love my bargains. We also know I love to shop, but we can also all see Dr. J cringing visibly in the background while he vigilantly stands guard over our family budget. God bless him. The thing is, how is a Mom of the Year, with all of her dedicated commitment to […]
Get Your Jam on with Pringles® This Summer
Do you remember that hip little beat we rocked at summer camp, the one made by tapping and flipping cups in the dining hall? Kind of like what Becca did when she tried out for the Bellas in Pitch Perfect. I was so boss at this. When Pringles® asked me to partner with them to spread the word about their […]
Bliss for the Tootsies
My sister and I recently had an intense fight about socks. I was, of course, right, and she was wrong. Obvs. You see, I was standing in defense of socks. She had this not-fun dry heel situation going on with her tootsies, yet still foolishly persisted in favoritism of going barefoot. Having a recent uber-delightful experience […]
10 Ways to Enjoy the Beach with Kids (from a REAL Mom)
My version of beach bliss includes a good book, a comfy lawn chair, and lots of peaceful listening to the waves lap the sand by my toes. It does not include lots of overly-excited children who want me to pertpetually jump waves and build sand castles with them. (This is why I am Mom of […]
The Nightingale Sings for Book Club
I had heard so much hype about The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, I’ll admit, I was skeptical. Could it REALLY be that good? But when Carrie of Normal Level of Crazy suggested we read it for this month’s book club, it seemed as good a time as any to finally get on board. So I put the […]
Your Feet Are Swooning for Bzees, Trust Me!
Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh. Oh don’t mind me, friends, that’s just the noise of my feet waving their white flag of surrender to all the insanity I’ve already put them through this summer–and it’s only the first day of July. Truth told, the rest of me might be waving that flag right along with my feet, […]
The Year that Stuff DID Happen
I know New Year’s is when you’re supposed to do it. I know that’s the time to look back on the past year of your life and check out all that you’ve done and fantasize about where you yet want to go. But last week, as we were prepping to leave for the beach, it hit me […]
