Pin itThe Mom Profiles: The “Don’t-Stay-at-Home Mom“ The Work-at-Home Mom For the last 6 years, I have had the privilege of spending most of my days with my children.

Survivor Outcome: Did You See It Coming?

Pin itWARNING!!!! SPOILER!!! If you have yet to see the Survivor finale, do not read this. I never thought I’d see Todd with a million dollars. At the last Council, though, I realized what a stinkin’ genius he is. I also can’t believe I came away thinking he deserves it. So what do you think? [...]

Four-Year-Olds Do Not Lie

Pin itThe other day, my  four-year-old, Princess, was talking to my husband.  At any given time, you CANNOT predict what she will say.  So she said, “Daddy, you have a big b*tt.” Wait…it gets better. “But Mommy’s b*tt is bigger.”     Preschoolers have such a penchant for stating the obvious.  Hmmmph.

Can Children’s Television get any WEIRDER?

Pin it The moral of the story is that even if you are a goofy looking skinny man who can’t dance, YOU TOO can have your own show! Just get some really bad life-size puppets and a man who spits into a microphone, and voila! I have to go now, and practice my beat-box. Ppppppth, [...]

My Least Favorite Things: Not Just Another Christmas Carnival

Pin it This carnival is not for all the wonderful things you’ve found for gifts. I want to hear about all the useless, ear-splitting, messy… insert negative adjective here… gifts that you will warn us about. This is a “what NOT to give” carnival.

Real Life Cleaning Tips

Pin itI think it’s very helpful that we moms (and dads) give each other tips and tricks that work for us.  But sometimes I get that “June-Cleaver-Martha-Stewart gag-me-with-a-spoon” feeling when I share all the wonderful things(all three of them) that we do here at our home. I mean, this is Real Life, right? So today, [...]

Even Strawberry Shortcake is a Questionable Role Model

Pin itIn this day and age, it is hard to find a suitable role model for young g*rls to look up to. I figured I couldn’t go wrong with Strawberry Shortcake, right? A wholesome, pink, idealistic l*ttle g*rl, who frolics in Strawberryland with her sweet-smelling friends. Well, this is the conversation we had on the [...]

Because My Life Does NOT Imitate My Art

Pin itIn a theater sketch I have to perform this weekend, my character says, “These shoes are Prada, and they retail for $450. I found them online for like, $200. If that’s not talent, I don’t know what is!” When I looked in my closet to figure out what I would wear, I realized all [...]

My Secret Irrational Fear

Works For Me ~ Cheap Lip Gloss

Pin it My favorite lip gloss is really called “Love My Lips“, and it is $1.99. $1.99!!!! This is a cheapskates dream, because it is great lip gloss. Forget the $20 lip gloss behind the make-up counter at Macy’s. Go into W*lmart (or T*rget if you’re in the anti-W*lmart crowd), and get you some cheap [...]

Remember…

Pin it…Y2K? Ha! I just had to type it in for a word verification, and I laughed out loud! We were having some people over for the countdown. My husband had to go to the bathroom shortly before the ball dropped. As we screamed for midnight, he flipped the breaker, and our hearts just about [...]

Oh, No He Di-in’t!

Pin itWe went to a cousin’s wedding last weekend. I bought this dress earlier this summer. I thought it would be great to wear to weddings and such. I’ve stopped working out since then, so I tried it on the day before. Yes, I asked the forbidden question, but in a very creative way. “Honey, [...]
