It was the perfect storm of a non-crafter’s horror. I had been made responsible for the favors for a bridal shower AND had to purchase ribbon for my upcoming book signing (don’t ask because that one is just too weird to explain). What did this mean? It meant that the time had come to meet […]
Happy Birthday To Me
I sent this to myself last year on my birthday, and it seemed beyond appropriate to send it again this year. I understand everyone has a different journey, dream, and goals, but trust me when I say that for me, this is a good thing. A very good thing…
Letting Go
I have a distinct memory of cruising down the highway about a month after my mother was diagnosed with cancer. My 13mo. old son was in the back seat and I remembered something cute about him I wanted to tell my mom. I picked up the phone to call her and then had the passing […]
Natural Disasters Can Make You Mother of the Year
There’s a sensation going around on these interwebs, and her name is Amanda Mushro. Amanda is the fantastic voice behind Questionable Choices in Parenting. She’s the kind of person I should be scared of because her hair is always GORGEOUS and she’s always so witty, but the thing is, I met this too-cool chick in […]
Screwing Up My First Born
When I was a very new blogger, I met Femme Frugality and fell hard. This girl is a smart, savvy bargain-hunter and really knows her finances. The grooviest part is that she doesn’t work in the financial field at all and money-saving is just a hobby for her–one that she’s very good at. She’s also […]
Dirty Little Secrets of The Mom of the Year
What’s that? You want to know all the crap that happens here behind the scenes at The Mom of the Year? I could sum it up for you in one sentence: It involves a lot of self-induced stress and late-night begging my husband to edit my posts (yes, the dear man proofs every single one), […]
Target: The Stuff of Dreams and Cheap Toys in the Dollar Aisle
Okay, let’s be real. There are very few places in this earth that fill me with such instantaneous joy as Target. Anyone else hear me on this? I walk through the doors, pee myself a little in glee whilst looking wistfully at the Starbucks counter and beeline for a sure stock of cheap gadgets to […]
She Captured Them
Pictures. Pictures. PICTURES. Spend 30 seconds in my house, and it’s pretty clear I’m obsessed with pics of my kids. Really, Picture People should just dedicate a corner of the studio to my family. It’s the least they could do in appropriate reciprocation for all the business we have given them. However, I recently got […]
Are You a MOTY’s Kid?
Do you ever meet those people who you know just pour themselves into this life for their kiddos? When I started talking with Kelly of My Twice Baked Potato, I was touched by her heart and soul for her son, and for her passion for the work she does in this world through her jobs […]
When Words Fail…
Words fail. They can be meaningless, insufficient, buried under the weight of loss. Darn those occasions that demand words anyway. Those moments that claim ceremony, reason, and a prescence in this world. Sometimes we just can’t breathe under the circumstances any more, and burying our heads under the pillows seems like the only reasonable option. […]
