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 […]
$75 Target Gift Card and A Lot of Heart
Well, crap. We’ve been at the beach this whole past week, and when my dear friend Femme Frugality asked me to help her celebrate her four year blogiversary, I was eager, but didn’t have a chance to read her post until right now. And now I’m tearing up. As I told my sister this week (before […]
Fun Family Activities for Summer
Ah yes. Summer again. What a relief! No responsibilities for two months. Nothing but endless sunshine and good times. You can stay up late and sleep in even later. You can read books by the dozen and go on exciting road trip with friends. Movies, concerts, dancing: you name it and you’re going to do […]
I Am. I Can. I Will. EMPOWERED
What if there was a children’s book series that not only instilled positive values but did so in a way that actually rewarded them for carrying through on what they learned? What if it, through reading it, they became self-motivated to learn even more? What if it was a perfect fit for all of your grade school […]
First Time Camper Survival Guide
Now that summer is here, you might be preparing to send your kids off to camp. It’s not easy sending your child off to their first sleepaway. As the parent, you know that camp will give them great memories and will teach them important skills. But for your child, it can seem like a scary […]
The Done List
It’s no secret that I have a love-hate relationship with my to-do list. I entirely depend on it to do my thinking for me, yet I rage against the unreasonable demands it makes. One day, in the midst of a big fight with my planner, I paused to read a gorgeous post by Julie Bel […]
Go Hollywood with Your Kids: UrLife
Aren’t our fancy smartphones fabulous? It is entirely possible to capture almost every minute of your child’s life with one sleek device. Back in my day, video recording required more large equipment than NASA’s shuttle launches and there was this crazy thing called rolls of film. You’d drop them off at your local Kmart, wait […]
