I need to introduce someone who is going to be hanging out around here a bit. Let me rephrase: I pray she is going to be coming back a whole lot more. Please be really nice to her so she does. Alisa is funny, and her witty sense of humor has captured me. She is

There was a situation recently in which I had to do a vlog post. And I had been in NYC the night before and didn’t get home until 3am. I don’t do 3am well. At all. So I did what any logical person would do and made my sister to it with me. To be

There’s a sensation going around on these interwebs, and her name is Amanda Mushro. Amanda is the fantastic voice behind Questionable Choices in Parenting. She’s the kind of person I should be scared of because her hair is always GORGEOUS and she’s always so witty, but the thing is, I met this too-cool chick in

When I was a very new blogger, I met Femme Frugality and fell hard. This girl is a smart, savvy bargain-hunter and really knows her finances. The grooviest part is that she doesn’t work in the financial field at all and money-saving is just a hobby for her–one that she’s very good at. She’s also

What’s that? You want to know all the crap that happens here behind the scenes at The Mom of the Year? I could sum it up for you in one sentence: It involves a lot of self-induced stress and late-night begging my husband to edit my posts (yes, the dear man proofs every single one),
