I’m thinking about relocating to a bubble.

by 16 Comments

I was reading this morning about a fairlynew discovery…lead in our faux leather and vinyl handbags. Last year, the Center for Environmental Health conducted research in California stores on many brands of purses only to find that most of those included in the study contained high levels of lead. The majority of the highest levels […]

Slowly but surely…

by 26 Comments

That’s right. Slowly but surely I am making my way back unto the living. I’ve been down and out for a good 48 hours but currently, I’d say, I’m operating at about 70% capacity which means I’m back to doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming and general cleaning but still feeling crappy enough to be slightly bitter. […]

A new stage…

Have I ever told you how I feel about naps? I love them. No, I need them. I think a good nap can really change your entire perspective on your day. Not ready to fold the laundry? Take a nap. Can’t face putting the dishes away? Take a nap. Can’t commit to filling out your […]

I Spoke (Way) Too Soon.

Okay, folks. Stop the celebrating. Put the champagne away. Set that mozzarella stick down. My victorious mood from yesterday has gone a teensy bit awry. Based on the events of today, I’m thinking that Jack isn’t quite ready tocompletely succomb to the world of the non-diaper wearing. In fact, a few times today I was […]

VICTORY!!

by 11 Comments

What has occurred in my household today is monumental. It is a feat of gigantic proportions. It has altered my life in ways that I can only imagine. There are no words to accurately define the vast importance of this beautiful day. Why? Because Jack has finally pooped in the potty. And I’m talking a […]

I’m Living the Life

by 12 Comments

Just another day in this suburban household, and like most others, it’s been eventful. I’ve taken particular notice of the fact that Jack, my 3 year-old, is growing more and more curious the older he gets, thus causing my day to swerve in all different directions. It’s nothing, if not interesting, tobe the co-pilot to […]

I’ve already detailed my reasons for thanking the Good Lord I was born with a uterus in my post Top 5 Reasons I’m Glad I’m Not a Manbut after further research and an in-depth look into my family dynamics I’ve come up with some reasons it might actually be handy to carry the “Y” chromosome. […]

Happy Friday! Is everyone ready for ‘normal’?

by 22 Comments

Well, here we are. Quickly approaching the first “non-Holiday” weekend for what has seemed like months. Here’s the problem with that. I don’t know what to do with myself. I feel like I should be buying something, baking something, decorating something, wrapping something, unwrapping something, eating something, drinking something or watching a gigantic ball drop […]

I did it again, folks.

by 20 Comments

Why, oh why, do I continue to watch televison shows focused on paranormal activity? It’s outright stupid, I tell you. I vowed, after my last bout of paranoid fear, that I would never watch one of these programs again. And then I got all cheeky and decided that I would not let my fears overtake […]

Time to get my fitness on.

by 24 Comments

Well, it’s January, the time of year when most Americans renew their pledge to get fit and strong, and I’m no exception. Okay, if not fit and strong, then slightly in shapeand at leaststronger than my kids. And, since they’re only 6 and 3 I’m thinkingI’ve got about 6 years to beef up a little. […]
