I won’t lie. Sometimes when we’re on our 1600th round of Candyland for the afternoon, I am saying silent passionate prayers for the UPS man to ring the door bell…or for the washing machine to start shooting bubbles at the ceiling…or any kind of anything that could be an excuse to toss down my plastic gingerbread dude and walk […]
The Bedroom Makeover
Until very recently, our bed was a tragic throwback to a college dorm room mishmash gone wrong. None of the colors matched or even remotely coordinated. They clashed with the walls. Instead of sighing in relaxation whenever I walked into our bedroom, I winced. I tried explaining to my husband that I would like our bedroom […]
Get Well Safely
I’d guess since my son was born five years ago, the dosing recommendations for children’s OTC medicines have changed at least 116 times. This may be an exaggeration. But it does seem like every time we go to the pediatrician, I get sent home with a new proper dosage instruction sheet. Generally, I panic so […]
Fighting for the Memories
There are many days, usually the ones littered with playdough-covered floors and emphatic toddler temper tantrums, that I sometimes think I want to forget. But the truth is, I would never really wish this. Memories, whatever they are, are incredibly precious. They remind us of all the love and connections in our life and more logistically […]
The Homey Happy Hour
My husband and I have never been very big on leaving the house. At first, it was money, or lack thereof. And then it was kids piled on top of money. Let’s be honest; even if we could manage to find a sitter, she probably doesn’t want to get paid in leftover Goldfish crackers? So […]
The Online Shopping Secret
I like nice things. A lot. Probably too much, if you ask my husband…but here is the dirty secret of how I float tossing sweet stuff into our lives without breaking the budget: I shop online. Almost entirely, exclusively online. I took my son to the mall the other day for a soft pretzel/play area […]

Lessons from the Green Room
It was typical Tuesday night. I was desperately trying to crank out some overdue blog work while hollering at my husband to just give up on the chicken nuggets and “get the kids in the bath already!”. Then my phone rang, and it was Stephanie Giese of Binkies and Briefcases, “Hey, do you want to […]
