You might want to sit down for this announcement, friends: we have never been to Disney World.* I know, I know. Seems shockingly impossible. My poor culturally-deprived children will be accepting any and all sympathy cards and extra Halloween candy as condolences–but only for the next few months because here’s the bigger announcement: we are going […]
The School Bus Dilemma
Once in a while, I do crazy things, like attempting to vlog. I know, it makes no sense to me either. Really, some people just don’t belong in front of a camera. Like me. Aside from my raging awkwardness, complete with multiple “ums”, excessive hand gestures and inexplicable eye closing, technology is not something with […]
Get Your Jam on with Pringles® This Summer
Do you remember that hip little beat we rocked at summer camp, the one made by tapping and flipping cups in the dining hall? Kind of like what Becca did when she tried out for the Bellas in Pitch Perfect. I was so boss at this. When Pringles® asked me to partner with them to spread the word about their […]
The Founder Vlogs!
I did it, friends. I got The Founder of BlogU, Stephanie Giese, to sit down with me and chat about the upcoming conference. I can’t promise you we’re funny, but I can promise that she is as adorable and put-together in person as she appears. This girl is ON HER GAME. I also made her […]
My Christmas Gift to You!
My film skills are notoriously bad. Flipping the camera upside down, shaking the screen, forgetting it’s on and recording the carpet for 15 minutes…I do it all. Maybe someday I will get my crap together and treat you to a montage of this sweet skill. While sadly, my lack of talent precludes me from a […]

Alisa, AKA the coolest blog-columnist EVER is back, and she’s VLOGGING. I’ll say no more… ************************************************************************* Hello Mom of the Year peeps! It’s Alisa and I’m back with an exciting new post! I SO enjoy blogging with all of you and I really appreciate the warm welcome you have given me here. I’d like to […]
With Pre-Black Friday Love from Our Family to Yours
The time has come. While you have read about him for ages, and maybe seen a pic or two, please let me introduce The Husband, or Jared, J, Dr. Spidel, whatever works for you. In any case, he is a treat. And we both have very firm opinions about Black Friday shopping, or pre-Black Friday […]
Time for some Perspective on Parenting
I’m pretty public about the fact that there is very little on this earth that gets me giddy-dancing like a good bargain. Sales, promos, Black Friday, online yardsaling…I’m there. So when the chance to get into the presale for the outgrown sale at my son’s preschool cropped up about a month ago, I was beyond […]
Mindy Kaling is Coming Over!
Okay, let’s be gentle here. You know the whole thing about how wildly exciting things don’t go down around these parts, so sometimes I have let myself roll with the fantasy? Yeah, so…just step aside and let me keep the dream alive. When I say “Mindy Kaling is coming over!” it may be more in […]
He Heisted the Vlog
I think a vlog-crime has been committed. After seeing my sister make her fantabulous vlogging debut last month, my BIL insisted on getting in on the action. He thinks he’s funny–because he IS funny–and wanted to take a stab at it. The thing is, he kind of is just ADORABLE and took over the whole […]
