No we didn’t have a Dickens-style Christmas miracle, but we did ring in 2012 with something pretty cool–my son took his first independent steps today, 65 days after his femur break. Sure, it was definitely an elderly man-esque shuffle and no one yelled out, “God bless us everyone!”, but it was definitely a very cool […]
The It List
Going the route of my BFF Mindy Kaling (as established in last week’s post), who is big on making lists on her blog of her favorite things, I am sharing the top ten of what was hot on the SAHM scene in 2011: 1. Lee Slender Secret jeans. This is the miraculous pair of jeans […]
A Rockin’ New Year’s Eve
Screw Dick Clark, or as we now have it, Ryan Seacrest. We are so schooling midnight by ringing in the new year at 5pm. This is how parents of young children kick it. Aunt A and Uncle Jeremy have been kind enough to swing open the doors to their rockin’ New Year’s Eve party early […]
Grooming the Dog
My dog just endured his annual Christmas spa day last week. He is still not speaking to us. In preparation for the big day, he was brushed, bathed, brushed again, had his ears cleaned and his nails cut. After each individual event, he was given multiple treats and heavily praised. Umm…what did I do wrong? […]
You Know It’s Bad When…
My MIL gets us each an annual Christmas ornament. These were mine and my husband’s for 2011. Love it 🙂
They are Tracking Me…
Okay, does this disturb anyone else but me? Seriously, I’m all for modern technology (not really), but I consider my obsessive online bargain shopping to be a relatively private affair. So no, when I am busy creating my “dream cart” at disneystore.com (words I never imagined myself typing before I had a toddler), and an […]
MakeAWish and Mindy Kaling
I just read Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (and Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling, known for her role as Kelly Kapoor on The Office. I can now officially say I’m in love with Mindy, and I do refer to her as “Mindy” b/c obviously we are destined to be best friends (the minor hiccup […]
The Morning After…
If you rock it out in any way like my family does, you understand that we are mostly comatose the day after Christmas after getting up at the crack of dawn and hosting a large family dinner. Despite inevitable exhaustion, obviously there is no way this bargain-hunting lover Mom of the Year is going to […]
One of the Best Things…
One of the very best things about Christmas morning is the look of pure joy and awe that washes over your child’s face on Christmas morning… …and of course, that oh, OUR SAVIOR WAS BORN!!!
Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus (Revised)
The full script of Virginia’s 1897 sweet letter to the editor and his even sweeter reply is a wonderful heart-warmer during the Christmas season. Check it out to add a splash of sweetness to your season, friends. Recently, it occurred to me that the whole idea of believing in something so amazing that seems so […]
