Okay…I havea question. I’m almost certain I am NOT the first person to ask this question. In fact, I’m sure this question has come up in many different ways followingall kinds of different scenarios, in turn, brewing anger and resentment. Here it is… Why…oh….why…are our children only able to see mothers? It’s like they have […]
Blackberry Dump Cake Recipe
Okay, everyone. Are you a fan of “the dump cake?” Do you know what one is? They are this God-send…this little gift from heaven …to the non-baker out there in Martha Stewart land. They are the answer to “what in the heck am I going to take to that potluck?” You can throw ANYTHING into […]
Suggestions please…How to Keep a Little Boy Busy
So yesterday I posted about how utterly relieved I am that school is starting soon. I still feel that way. Definitely. But I have another problem that public education is not going to solve for me. I touched on it briefly yesterday but I actually pondered this dilemma in detail while lying in bed last […]
Hip Hip Hooray…Back to School!
Oh. Thank. God. School is starting up again soon, in some parts of the country it already has, and I really couldn’t be more relieved. Let’s all take a moment to give thanks. (Pause for hallelujahs!) I love my kids. I really do. But I’ve got to be honest with you here…they’re driving me freakin’ […]
I love moments like these…
I am absolutely not kidding when I say that I am sitting here on my couch, looking out my picture window into the backyard and watching my almost 3 year old son, Jack, trying desperately to pull his pants off and pee into his wading pool. Man, I wish I had that kind of determination. […]

So, I discovered something about myself the other day. Something I never saw coming in a million years…are you ready? Here it is. I kick ass at water aerobics. I’m not kidding. I’m shockingly good at it. What defines “good”? How exactly does one “kick ass” at water aerobics? Allow me to enlighten you. Recently, […]
Taco Pasta Salad Recipe
Jer has been working, pretty hard I might add, at growing a garden. We have all kinds of things going at any given time. Lots of things. Good things. Like, tomatoes. And corn. I think there might even be zucchini in there. Maybe some cucumbers? Honestly, I don’t even know. I spend about as much […]
Just What Am I Doing Here?
I wanted to explain a little about my goals for this blog. I really love having the opportunity and the open forum to discuss my thoughts, opinions and general musings. I have always been a person who has something to say about stuff. Sometimes I’m a person who has a whole lot to say about […]
Beauty Tip of the Week – Lips
Lipstick. Lipgloss. Lipbalm. What do all of these things have in common (except for the obvious prefix)? They are all some of my greatest loves. If you played a word association game with anyone who knows me and you said “Mindy”, they would most likely answer “lipstick.” “Gorgeous” isalso astrong possiblility. I always have several […]
Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s…Smokin’ Hot Body!
So there I was just finishing up my 3-mile fast walk, my iPod ear buds floating out of my ears from all the sweat pouring down my face, limping from the inevitable blister forming on my right heel when she comes running towards me looking fresh off of a Shape magazine cover shoot. You know, […]
