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 […]
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 […]
Add a Rug and Deck Chillin’ Is On!
We moved into our house four years ago and one of my favorite parts is our deck. Come summertime, we are living out there. All of our meals, “Mommy can’t take any more! Go outside!” playtime, pool breaks–you name it, we’re there. In the evening, throw in a light breeze with the rope lighting and cicada rhythms, […]
Downy to the Rescue!
I remember the good old days. The days when we had a “Laundry Day”. When I would put something in the washer and then actually fold it and put it away within the same 24 hr. period. When there was less constant need for stain stick. When there was very little, if any urine-frangranced dirty […]
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 […]
Living in the Danger Zone
Friends, we need your help. And a lot of it. When OTCSafety.org reminded me that June is National Home Safety Month, it couldn’t have been a more timely nudge that my husband and I have some serious safety issues to address in our home. The advice offered at Up and Away to keep medicines out of […]
Product Junkie
I’ll admit it. I’m a product junkie and a proud product junkie. Bring on the drugstore because I’m on a mission. Actually, bring on my my link-through Ebates to whatever store has the best deal. Coupled with free shipping codes from RetailMeNot, you know I’m not trying to actually leave my house. Since money is always on […]
We’re Done
I’m listening to my children play “camping” above me in my daughter’s room. Basically, it sounds like a herd of noisy elephants who like to laugh a lot has been let loose. And a lot of opening and slamming doors is apparently required for this camping endeavor too. I’m exhausted. They have won today. A […]
Popping Up Color
Almost thirteen years ago, we rolled into our marriage on a hope and a prayer and a lot of those wooden box crates that can be used for everything from endtables to economical planters (in a pinch). Today, we’re still praying and hoping a lot and yup, those wooden crates are still the epitome of […]
Slightly Crunchy?
I’m a gal of science. I believe in modern medicine and the good power of an antibiotic when I’ve got myself a raging UTI, but as time has marched on and rolled well into my 30s and find myself uber-connected with info that this little thing called the internet offers, a well submerged side of […]
