I’m very happy and grateful to once again have Kathy Radigan of My Dishwasher’s Possessed! as a guest blogger, this time with a post written especially for Mom of the Year. As most of you know my son has been having some challenges in first grade. Back in the 70’s, Kathy had her own difficulties […]
Tooth Fairy 2.0
My son is a wee little guy. Aside from being a cute ball of love, he saves us a ton of cash by rocking the same sizes for years at a time. Needless to say, his physical development proceeds not at a soaring pace. So when all of his cohorts began losing their teeth, we spent a fair bit […]
10 Lessons Learned in the Trenches of New Motherhood
I’m tickled to have Kathy Radigan of My Dishwasher’s Possessed! on Mom of the Year today sharing about the 10 things she wished she knew before she had her first baby. Kathy is a dear friend and fellow blogger I’ve known for a few years now, and I always enjoy reading about her life as a […]
They’re Friends
I’ve not yet shared the truth of when I first learned I was having a girl for my second baby: I sobbed some very agonized sobs. You see, it’s not that I was opposed to girls. I, in fact, am a girl and generally like girl-related stuff. The problem came into play in that I was beyond […]
Time to Freshen Up with a New Rug!
We have a bit of a sticky wicket in our home: I can’t stand clutter, but cleaning and I aren’t besties. And as any mom knows, kids are mini walking cyclones of clutter. Give my children 30 seconds in the house, and the resulting explosion of Angry Bird pieces and Barbie shoes is impressively horrific. So […]
I Used to Be, Now I’m Just Me
I’m tight with the bank drive-through. We’ve got a good thing going. It’s been there for me ever since those crazy little people in car seats first began cropping up in the back of my minivan and as a faithful visitor, I rarely fail to pop by for my weekly hello. Yet yesterday, as happens in all long-term relationships, the drive-through […]
How to Be a Happy Mommy
A friend who helps you grow is a boss blessing on this earth. Someone who helps you be a little kinder or laugh a little more, feel calmer in the scary storms of this life, or learn something smart and new? A true gift. I have a friend who does these things in spades, and she wows […]
Direct Energy Directs the Savings to Your Piggy Bank!
When Direct Energy asked me to share some of their New Year’s deals with you, I realized it was the perfect time to share my own family’s efforts to save money and get a little smarter about budgeting. You see, we’ve recently started this crazy business of trying to teach our children responsible saving. I won’t […]
The Mama’s Job
It was December 18th, we were on our way to an IEP meeting, and I was grouchy. Christmas-grouchy, to be specific. You know, the kind of grouchy where you are so overwhelmed with holiday tasks, having to participate with the world at large seems irksomely superfluous. I wasn’t in the mood to have a whole […]
1-Up It in 2016!
This is it, friends. The time of cleaning up and grabbing onto our health is upon us, and we CAN do this! Really. I’m hard-core settling into some goal-pursuit of my own. If I’m successful, anticipate loads of blog posts about the magical way to shed zillions of pounds while raising two young children and being rendered […]
