• Stinky Saturday.

    Today the kids and I went to Mr. Stinky Feet's 10 year anniversary celebration down at the Plaza library.  We were all super excited to be going to help Jim celebrate.  We were the first ones in line! The show was incredibly awesome and the kids and parents were having…

  • Five Things: Before I was a mom, I never thought I’d:

    Be brave enough to stick my hand inside my kid's diaper only to confirm that, yes, he had in fact taken a poop.  Be jumping at the chance to finish the half-eaten peanut butter and jelly sandwich or cold toast that my kids left behind, because it was the only small chance…

  • Tuna with a twist.

    After my great workout today, the kids and I came back home to grab lunch before heading out for errands.  I decided to try out the recipe I'd seen on the back of the Ranch dressing bottle the other day and I must say, it was quite tasty and has…

  • These boots were made for walking.

    N & W have been wearing their cowboy boots EVERYWHERE lately.  And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere!  N has worn his out virtually every time we go out for dinner or just to make a Target run.  He's also resorted to using boots [bow-tas as W says it]…

  • Swag-ilicious.

    Okay, my job definitely has its perks.  Check out the massive virtual swag-bag I received from my friends over at BSM Media from the BlogHer Conference! I was actually invited to attend the conference and go by the BSM suite there for my own swag bag but alas, I was…

  • Am I the only one who does this?

    All evening I have been going through my entire email box trying to whittle down the number of starred messages that require my attention.  I started out with 98 starred messages - messages I marked as needing attention or a response.  Some are business, some are personal.  I am down to…
