When I was first asked by Infinity Jars to share their glass jars with you in this sponsored post, I was curious to check out their product identified as “The Most Decadent Glass Ever Created”. Could this glass really be that superior? Why did I need such quality jars? Would I have use for glass jars in […]
Spread Cheer with Sweetness This Season
We have a dog, a psychotic one, to be specific. His neuroses include an eleven year-long panic that he won’t be fed, a propensity to hide from flies in the bathtub and a decided inability to function when separated from his home. Like, ever. So when God matched us up with the most magnificent neighbors ever (who […]

Grab the Huggies® Wipes: Because Kids Outgrow Diapers, Not Messes*
I have an announcement, a very important announcement, friends: WE ARE DONE WITH DIAPERS! I know, I know. It’s basically the best news to happen around these parts in forever. But, silly, new-to-this-post-diaper life mom that I am, I wondered if this also meant it was time to bid adieu to my ginormous stockpile of wipes? The […]
The Coffeehouse
One month ago, my husband and I had a coffeehouse date. To be more accurate, 16 years and one month ago, we had a coffeehouse date. On February 18, 1999, my husband called me on my college dorm room landline (because those things existed) and asked if I’d like to go hang out at the […]
Smores, Tents and a Fancy-pants Cake?
You know that whole bit about how I’m not crafty or creative? It’s not a shtick-for-show. It’s real. I see craft supplies and I panic. DIY projects to pretty up my home sound like a modern form of torture. So when summer rolls around, and it’s time to come up with fun ideas for my kids’ birthday parties AND […]
Inner Sandcastle
I’m not the kind of gal who loves rolling around in the sand. Or the hot beating sun. Or mixing sweaty drip in with with sunscreen and feeling like a greased pig on parade. You might go so far as to say, I’m not a beach gal. Except I love my kids. A lot. And […]
Throw a Birthday Party like a Boss
Birthday season in The Mom of the Year household is upon us, friends. Our entire family, immediate and extended, without exception, was born between the very end of May and October 1. What does this mean for you? A lot of upcoming scary Facebook pictures of Mommy looking like a psychotic mess and undue excessive whining […]
Art on the Cheap
God love Alisa for coming to us in the midst of this horrid chilly winter mess, and giving us something else to think about. Why do I love this post so much (despite the fact that Alisa outs herself as a crafter)? It’s in no way sponsored–it’s just a really neat way she figured out […]
The Enough Christmas
I’m struggling this year, I won’t lie. I want desperately to feel the glorious Christmas spirit and impart some beautiful words of cheer your way today, readers, but… This whole Christmas season I have been a beast. In fact, it’s times like these I’m super-glad I’ve nailed my husband down with a wedding ring so […]
