We’re simple people around here. Before kids, Valentine’s wasn’t that huge of a deal. Now? Like any parent knows, step aside major holidays, because there is an exorbitant display of glitter-glued heart-shaped cards that need to squeeze their way onto the fridge before it gets ugly. Put down the red construction paper before Mommy gets cranky. […]
Mrs. Stapleton
Every once in a while you get to meet a soul who breaks your heart with sincerity and kindness. Paige Stapleton, more familiarly known around my corner of the world as Mrs. Stapleton, was one such person. Mrs. Stapleton was my son’s first preschool teacher. When my family set off last year to enter the […]
Art on the Cheap
God love Alisa for coming to us in the midst of this horrid chilly winter mess, and giving us something else to think about. Why do I love this post so much (despite the fact that Alisa outs herself as a crafter)? It’s in no way sponsored–it’s just a really neat way she figured out […]
The Funny Before the Flip Side
Lest you live in one of those more modern parts of the country where you have fancy things like power and heat, around these parts, as I write this, we are without such amenities. I whined about the weather on Wednesday, yet things have since taken more of an Apocalypse-now turn. Let’s just say it’s […]
When the Zippers Crap Out
Winter is adorable. Totally, utterly adorable in all its snow-covered death trap roads and sub-zero temps. Listen, I would be all over taking my kids out to frolic in the snow if my fingers didn’t instantaneously go numb whenever I opened the door. Raynaud’s Syndrome in these chilly months? A total peach. Not that I […]
Shiny White Teeth? Yes!
When SmileBrilliant wanted to send me a teeth-whitening system, I was all “twist my arm”. Not that I’m paranoid about my yellowish teeth at all… You see, Mike from SmileBrilliant was patient with me. He was kind. He encouraged me to participate and followed up when my whole consumed-with-the-holidays situation left me a bit sluggish […]
Cue up the Dance Music!
I’m so proud of all the amazing things my sister-in-law, The Modern Ballet Pianist does. It is truly a breathtaking experience to witness her perform in front of a piano. Beyond her sheer genius as a musician, seeing her apply all of her business savvy and creativity to her new venture just makes me puff […]
Penny Jules Turns 1!
Alright, you may have heard me rave about Penny Jules once or twice before. That’s because you’re obsessed with her, Meredith. Okay, I am obsessed with her, but for excellent reason. Heather, the gal behind Penny Jules, is rocking the socks off the jewelry world. You see, she makes all of her own stuff. And […]
Commercial Break
Who loves commercial breaks? No one, unless you have to pee or they’re the fantastic ads aired during the Superbowl. But commericals are a bit of a sticky wicket because they are necessary. If you want to see your nifty TV shows, you’ve gotta pay for them somehow (and unfortunately, the right arm you donated […]
And So She Writes…
Sometimes I get asked how I write. (Not that often, really, because let’s be honest–who actually cares?). But wait–what?? What do you mean, “how do I write?” Like, there’s supposed to be a method? Shoot, I knew I was getting this whole thing wrong… Basically, when I realize I have a post or an assignment due, I maturely […]
