As a general rule, I consider it a victory if I get my children to their annual pediatrician appointments semi-on-time, with only periodic temper tantrums and at least half of my hair pulled back into a semblance of a ponytail. I’m not sure why, but it’s as if my general incapacity for orderly functioning all comes to […]
Grandpa’s Paper Clips
It’s a small, cheap plastic caddy. It sits on our fantastic old 70s-style metal desk that is too ugly and too huge to offload. It is a paperclip holder–the kind with a magnetic ring around the top to hold a few clips within easy reach. I found it when we were going through my grandparents’ apartment […]
BusySaving
I am so excited to introduce BusySaving to you! As in, really, I have fallen in love with this site. When they expressed interest in advertising on my site, I was all, “Oh cool, another savings site.” I love saving money, bargain-hunting, deal-finding, and promo code-rocking, so their name hit the sweet spot for me. […]
The Junk Drawer
We have one. A junk drawer, that is. Truth told, it scares me. The sheer fear of what it may or may not contain is enough motivation for me to ignore it for months on end (okay, let’s be honest–it’s probably been 3+ yrs.) and just continue to write “sort junk drawer” repetitively on my to-do […]
Pull-Ups Big Kid Academy? Count Us In!
Potty training. Ugh. Potty training. You see, in regards to potty-training, I adopt a very hands-off approach. Otherwise known as Mommy-buries-her-head-in-the-sand-and-pretends-this-is-not-happening. The problem is, I just don’t get it. I don’t get why risking a poop-in-pants is better than suiting up with a Pull-Up. Even when my daughter has humiliated me by pooping in said […]
Keep Connected with myCharge!
The kids are back to school, but Moms know that’s only the beginning! Now that the school year is in full swing, there’s no slowing down. In fact, things can start getting pretty hectic this time of year between your work and your kid’s homework, after-school clubs and sports, music lessons and carpools, birthday parties […]
Bites for Babies
In my early days of babies and blogging, I chanced upon Lisa Codina of Bites for Babies. Finding her was a blessing for me. Lisa is everything I’m not–together, creative, and likes to cook! When I saw the simple recipes she published, I would think, “I could do this!” (Huge for me, I know). She […]
One Step in Front of the Other
I feel dishonest of sorts. You see, while I have shared about the challenge Kindergarten has presented to us, I have failed to tell you how it has utterly, totally slayed me. I slam out my mornings in a vigor known only to moms terrified of misstepping the intricate school system and then, by the […]
Book Club Kicks Off!
I love to read, and chances are, if you’ve read some of my blog posts or ever spent more than five minutes with me in person, I’ve probably already filled your ear blathering on about my books. So you can imagine how excited I was when hanging out with the lovely Carrie (truly, she’s gorgeous) of Normal […]
The Birthday Bath
I would be lying if I said this whole starting school business wasn’t slaying me. After I finished supporting the Kleenex industry on the first day, I did figure on a general schedule upheaval. I assumed my son would be more tired than usual. I did not, however, count on how emotionally rocked we would all be […]
