In case you haven’t been following my blog (in which case, you and Ireally need to have a talk)I have been attempting to potty train my little man, Jack, for the past several months. It hasn’t worked. He could care less. I think he actually likes peeing his pants. I’m in big trouble. But,he recently […]

I found myself defending my choices to a first-grader
Prepare yourself to be very impressed by my obvious uber-generous personality and willingness to sacrifice myself for the greater good. Are you ready? Okay…I volunteer for 90 minutes every week in my daughter’s first grade class. I know. My propensity for servitude knows no bounds. (Sarcasm intended.) And this Thursday during my weeklymission for mankind […]
Ugh…Dr. Phil’s SAHM vs. Working Moms
Yowza. Did anyone see the October 14th Dr. Phil show? The topic was Stay-at-Home Moms versus Working Moms, aptly named “Guilty Moms”. You can view the video and access show information at Dr. Phil.com. Dr. Phil had brought in women who represented both sides of the fence,a few of which were all fired up to […]
Chicken Pot Pie Recipe
Do you know that there was a point in time in my life that I would not eat chicken pot pie? Seriously. The mere idea of consuming a mish-mash of chicken and veggies cooked inside a pie crust gave me a case of the heebies. Why? Because I hated pie, thereby hating pie crust by […]
My baby boy is 3 years old!
As I write this I am watching my now 3-year old race around the house chasing after his brand-new monster truck remote control car. There is pure joy on his little handsome face and unbridled excitement quivering through his tiny little body. It makes me a little sick to my stomach. Here’s why: 1) I’m […]
Great Rotary Duck Race…I didn’t win.
I am so disappointed. I really thought this time would be different. I really thought that I could potentially be a winner. I was wrong. Our area Rotary club sponsored the annual Great Rotary Duck Race this past weekend. And, man, it’s quite a race. Picture this: 64,000 rubber ducks sportin’ some swanky black shades […]
What’s your Dream Come True?
I’m going to let you all in on a little-known secret about this suburban housewife. There is something I’ve always wanted to be able to do and be really, really good at. Something I currentlyattempt todo in the car, in the shower, while watching YouTube videos… I wish I could sing. Like really sing. As […]
I spent 2 hours trying to thread my sewing machine…
First off, let me begin by saying that I wholeheartedly admire those who can sew. I think it is a craft among trueartisans and a God-given gift. It requires patience, resilience, determination and vision. It also requires an ability to thread a sewing machine. A few days ago I got an itch. I wanted to […]
Crockpot Pot Roast Recipe
I think pot roast has gotten a bad rap. It typically conjures up images of dry, jerky-like hunks of meat with absolutely no flavor. But not in my household. My mom has always made this very moist, extremely flavorful pot roast from the gods. In fact, I remember as a teenager eating dinner with my […]
I should have never bought that Halloween candy!
I made a big mistake. Huge. Humongous. I should have known better. I should have recognized my own weaknesses.I should have known when to say “no.” I should have neverbought that Halloween candy…the party pack, no less. About a week ago I was doing my grocery shopping, minding my own business, cruising along the aisles. […]
