Now before you go assuming me all furniture-ho, let me clarify. It is our table. And I brought it home and gave it a permanent spot in our dining room. And I fully checked out its credentials before signing my heart away. The sordid story isn’t that sordid. We got married almost 12 years ago, […]
Pass the Pen, We’ve Got Some Books to Sign
It is possible that greater events have occurred, but for the way I’m carrying on in my head about this, it doesn’t seem likely. When the lovely Bethany of I Love Them the Most When They’re Sleeping asked Stephanie of Binkies and Briefcases and me to co-host a book signing of the new book we’re […]
My Parenting Victory (and a HUGE giveaway)!
< Welcome to April’s Finding the Funny! Before we start sharing our funny posts, we have a (huge) giveaway! Somehow Easter weekend fell apart for me. Too many bunnies, too many egg hunts, first time son pooped on the potty (woo-hoo!), moving child to a new bed, cutting son’s hair, attending a super-fun birthday party, […]
A Day at the Mall When I Was Mom of the Year
Amy from Funny is Family is one of those precious treasures you chance upon in this life. Whenever we chat, I feel like I am kicking back with a best girlfriend and letting it all hang out. Bring the beer. She is funny and she is smart. Her witty sense of humor always leaves me […]
Grief Does Funny Things
It’s Good Friday, and today, death and suffering are near and present. Easter’s joy, blessing, renewal, and sense of hope are coming, but now we hang out in the pain for a bit. It may be the time of year or just that I don’t handle holidays well in general any more, but for some reason, […]
Ten Reasons That I Should Totally Be Crowned “Mom of the Year”
Jen from Life on the SONy Side is such a funny, funny gal. I roll just reading through the page on her blog where she describes the members of her family. Yes, coffee and wine are included in that list of loved ones. In her own words, “Jen is an outspoken lover of all things […]
Those Precious Twenty Minutes
You all know what I’m talking about. We live for it. We long for it. We cherish that precious slice of time at night after the kiddos are safely stashed in their beds and a pass has been made at pretending to create some sense order in the house before Mr. Sandman visits. It is […]
We went to a toy store…
…and it was AWESOME. If you need to sit down for a minute, that’s cool. I can’t believe I’m saying this either. When I was invited to preview the new Monkey Fish Toys store, I was pretty scared. Lots of bright colors, noises, and children generally terrify me. But then that whole little realization that […]
Training Time for the Egg Hunt!
God bless my brother-in-law. He has a very cool job and got us into a very cool egg hunt this weekend. Think “Event of the Century” and boatloads of candy that will NOT win me any Mom of the Year awards with all the anti-sugar purists out there. The thing is, it’s just fun. The […]
Moms of the Year: In It Together
Kathy over at kissing the frog manages to bring more heart and beauty to her writing than I knew was possible. Each one of her posts leaves me chuckling a little, tearing up a little (or a lot sometimes–keep those kleenex handy!), and thinking, “Praise God! Someone else gets this! I’m not alone!”. She […]
