Previously, when I heard this tagline from Home Depot, I never gave it much thought. I presumed it had something to do with drills and bits and building houses or some such business. Probably making people’s dreams come true through a lot of hand-on hard manual labor. You know, the stuff that I love. (If […]
Neon Fireflies with a Little Seasonal Magic
I don’t know about you, but nothing quite floats my boat like holiday shopping. Finding a treasure online and then buying it for that perfect someone? Sweet! Even better if that treasure comes from a small business mama, the kind of business this Mom of the Year’s heart bleeds over. Amazing finds like Heather, the […]
The Turkey Queen
So I’m no secret that Alisa scares me more than a little. She’s just so darn crafty, creative, smart, GOOD at household-managament matters…When she starts to throw out terms such as “baked brie” and “bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin with balsalmic glaze” (see below), I start to feel more than a little intimidated. This is scary stuff, […]
The Blog Post That Wasn’t
So listen, here’s the short story: I had a post due at Aiming Low and I HAD NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT WHATSOEVER. Why does this matter to you? I wrote a post anyway and I would really like for some people to head over and read it/comment/share so I don’t look like a total loser. […]
Alzheimer’s Prevention Registry
When I was asked by the Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative to participate in a briefing with their experts last week, it was not without bittersweetness. Prior to venturing into this world of birthing babies and blogging, I was a social worker. I worked primarily in Alzheimer’s nursing home units, and the dear faces and stories of […]
My Mommy! Moment
Before kids, I used to volunteer in the church nursery. I would watch the kids faces light up upon seeing their parents’ faces when they came to pick them up. I would think, “WOW. That is the coolest thing.” And then it happened–I became the parent picking up kids. And one day, recently, when I […]
Daniel Tiger is in the ‘Hood!
Sometimes when I think of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, I could cry. It’s like a flood of sweet childhood perfection comes rushing back at me. Those moments when I felt little and happy and thrilled to just be learning how to tie my shoes. It is without exaggeration that I say Fred Rogers was huge part […]
The Dying Drama Queen
Last week I thought I was going to die. I woke up in the middle of the night to a raging fever, pounding migraine, and the overwhelming sense that I needed to empty the contents of my stomach IMMEDIATELY. Upon standing up to address the situation, I fell over. I then crawled to the bathroom. […]
We’re Gonna Make This House a Home
…because we are. My husband and I moved to this town 8 yrs. ago. We knew no one. It was brutal. It was awful. I cried. Often. Then we started build a community. A house. A HOME. My dear friend, the mother of my son’s BFF doesn’ t know this, but on the day that […]
Modern Day Business Mama?
I haven’t ever had big goals or aspirations in relation to this whole blogging business, but then a funny thing began to happen. I started to make a little cash. Stress on the “little” part. And that was kind of cool. Partially because it was easier to feed my online yardsaling obsession, but also? I […]
