****This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sara Lee® to help promote their new 45 Calories and Delightful bread.**** I’ve told this story in bits and pieces before, but it’s an important one, so bear with me. About two and a half years ago, my mother died. My dear grandma had just […]
Once Upon a Craft
This is one of my favorite Christmas stories of all time, first published here two years ago. We’re now all a bit older, but I continue to have active fantasies of the shirts I noted at the end of the post. Godspeed with the Christmas crafts, my friends… *********************************************************** Gosh, yes…I actually tried to craft […]
The Christmas Win
My daughter had a banner week last week. Upon smelling the rank fishy odor at the grocery store and pondering the stinky source, she pointed at a innocent nearby middle-age woman and loudly concluded “EW! IT’S HER BUTT”. Super. A kind friend gifted her an Elsa doll for Christmas. She opened it and squeed, “Yay! Now I can […]
Send That Dry Winter Skin Packing
Anyone ever heard of keratosis pilaris? My mother hadn’t, and she spend the whole of her life trying to treat the bumpy rough skin (a condition that can be easily mistaken with early signs of acne, another frustrating yet relatively harmless skin alternation. Clearawayacne knows all about the topic, and has been trying to help everyone have […]
Jammy-ing It Up with Joe Boxer
While our children usually look adorable come bedtime, my husband and I don’t have the best track record for acing out pajama wear. So when Joe Boxer pajamas from Kmart asked if I would to check out their line of jammies for my whole family, it was very exciting times around here! My husband fails miserably at pajamas–he sleeps in his […]
MyCharge Cheer!
Dude, the holidays have become an all-hands-on-deck situation around here. It’s a wondrous array of wrapping paper, obsessive checking of Amazon lightening deals, and piles of burnt cookies shouting-out my stunning domesticity. Fabulous. In all this holiday merriment, teensy things tend to rile Mommy. Read: she goes bat-crap crazy. Over the weekend, I misplaced my scissors and began […]

Nothing Says Christmas Like a Hallmark Channel Movie
This is one of my favorite Christmas season posts, first published two years ago. I’m happy to report that during this time, my passion for Hallmark Channel Christmas movies has only deepened. The kids are now older and require more silly things like hot meals and help with homework, so I get to watch these […]
Get the Pictures You Always Wanted
I remember the good old days. The days when I used to hold up a camera, ask my son to look at the camera, and he would SMILE. Then somewhere about age 3, his face froze in a cheesy “CHEESE” said between gritted teeth while he focuses intently on a magical fairy dancing off to the […]
