5 movies that scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid (and still do)
You can all pretty much come up with at least one movie that freaked that living crap out of you as a child, right? The sleeping-with-head-under-covers, unable-to-look-into-mirrors, jump-into-bed-from-10-feet-away kind? Yeah, I do too. It only took a minute for me to come up with a list of 5 to Justin, who, with eyes wide, nodded [...]
Park Moms: A rant of sorts
Earlier this week, I took the kids to one of the outdoor play areas in town. The kind with AstroTurf and big fake animals and tunnels and stuff. I normally stay far, far away from those things because they just look like they’re crawling with poop and snot viruses. I swear the one at our [...]
The time I cried in the arms of a Fresh & Easy employee
I seem to talk about these adventurous/stressful trips to the store and such pretty often (or maybe it just seems that way to me because I complain all the time), but seriously, this one tops them all. It was one of those days where you swear there’s a camera crew following you around, ready to [...]
Mom Skills: Bra Not Required
I wrote this little ditty a while back, going over some stuff I had learned after being a stay at home mom for a month or so. Hold the phone people, you have an expert on your hands here! ONE WHOLE MONTH and I was writing the handbook. Let’s just do a little recap and see [...]
Six of my favorite new uses for mason jars
I’m taking a cue from my friend Mandy and her hilarious video blog she posted to talk about something I’m loving right now… mason jars. I know they’ve been around forever and every grandma we know has a huge collection somewhere out back, but lately people are finding more and more creative ways to use them. [...]
The Incredible Shrinking Butt
I’m slowwwwwwly getting back into my blogging groove, I promise! I actually have a lot I want to write about, but I’m just feeling a tiny bit nervous about how certain things will be received. Blame the insecure 14 year old who comes out from time to time. Like, this post. I intend on putting [...]
Disney Cuddly Bodysuits are perfect for Hulk Babies
Baby humans expand at alarming, hulk-like rates. Which is fine! I adore their little chub rolls and cankles. I am a firm believer that chubby babies make the world go ’round. The thing I find frustrating about it all is how quickly they grow out of their expensive little clothes. I can’t tell you how [...]
My typical day, as portrayed by Parks and Recreation
“Today is going to be great. I can just feel it!” “Mama made breakfast! Come and get iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!” “What do you mean you don’t want it? It took me an hour to cook!” “Oh come on! Just take one bite. Just ONE, then you can get up.” “That’s just pathetic. You’re not even trying.” “Fine. [...]
Tar-get me out of this apartment before I go insane
Jack, Maddie and I make regular trips to Target during the week. Regular, meaning five times a week on average. I know. Most of the time I have an actual list of things I need, but some days I am just so desperate to get out of the apartment that we just go for something [...]
An entirely too long post about how my kids don’t sleep, ever.
How exactly is one supposed to get sleep with a toddler and an infant? Aren’t kids supposed to sleep, like 20 hours a day or something? I swear I heard that somewhere. Well it seriously seems like my kids are the two children in the entire universe who actually hate to sleep… and so naturally, [...]
