Wow. It's October 1st, already. Although it's not exactly my favorite time of year, the kids have been having a ball pointing out the many signs of fall while we're out driving around town seeing all the yellow and red leaves on trees. But despite the cooler temps, I am looking forward to a few…
I was able to score gas for $3.19 a gallon today at Costco in my neck of the woods. How about you? What are gas prices like in your 'hood? I thought this might make a good meme for the blogosphere, so if you're reading this, post the meme on your blog too. Oh, and…
It's going to be a bit tricky to keep up with blogging over the next few days since I am down to one computer. That's right peeps – my laptop crashed yet again last night. Thankfully, I was able to (with the help of my wonderfully smart and tech-savvy husband) backup all of my important…

Tonight I enjoyed a fun night out with a few local moms for some tasty treats! We celebrated Ladies Night at Melting Pot. I hadn't been there since the time I took my sister there and it was just as good as I remember it. We got a steal of a deal – two martinis…
I had an appearance this morning on KCTV 5 news, a station I actually had not been to before today, and I totally learned about something I never thought would actually happen. You know how when you watch the news and you see the anchors there, looking into the camera lens rattling off reports? Well, don't…
This morning straight after breakfast, the kids and I packed up and headed to the gym. I had hoped to make it to the 9:30 a.m. hour-long cycling class, but by the time I got the kids checked in to the children's area, it was 9:34 and I hadn't even made it upstairs to the…
