The Outdoors…it ain’t my thang.

May 2, 2012 by Mindy 5 Comments

In honor of Spring and the gorgeous bounty of blossoms and foliage she affords us (or so I’m told) I thought I would address the ever-pressing thorn in my side, the hard truth I’ve come to realize and embrace. I hate the outdoors. I touched upon this subject here after experiencing a life-changing moment with […]

Costco (Where the Strong buy Batteries and the Weak buy…Everything?)

April 30, 2012 by Mindy 4 Comments

We’re all on a budget, right? These economic times have been rough on the lot of us and I’ve joined the ranks of the many trying to spend smarter/save wiser. Then why, oh why, would I continue to send my husband into that financial sinkhole more commonly known as Costco? Let me set the scene […]

Backyard Chickens…What?

April 26, 2012 by Mindy 2 Comments

I typically prefer my chicken wrapped up in cellophane and sporting a barcode. I’m real traditional like that. But my hubby decided that our suburban existence was missing a vital element. He felt the calling, people, and plunged head-first into what has become his new religion. That’s right. We’re chicken farmers. Farmers. Of chickens. In […]

Hanging my head in shame…

April 24, 2012 by Mindy 1 Comment

Hello friends. Am I still allowed to call you that? Do we need to go through that awkward ‘get to know each other’ phase again? I have been absent for a very long time. In fact, in blogger’s terms, you could say a lifetime has passed since my last post. Even truer, in Mindy’s terms […]

“Get off my grass.” Ah…Toddlers. (A Blog Revisited…)

January 18, 2012 by Mindy 12 Comments

A friend’s Facebook Status reminded me of this post and I thought I would share it again. An oldie but a goodie.   ************************** Oh, dear. How do I approach this one? I wish I could say that my malicious, trouble-seeking neighbor said this to me. I would even settle for admitting I uttered these […]

Snow…it’s about durned time!

January 16, 2012 by Mindy 2 Comments

I woke up this morning to a beautiful sight. And let me tell you in advance that the snoring man lying next to me with his opened mouth resting against my newly washed pillowcase was NOT it. Nay, I woke up to a tiny version of a Winter Wonderland. Delicate little ice crystals dancing in […]

Holy Shrimp! It’s 2012!

January 4, 2012 by Mindy 6 Comments

To borrow from my 5 year-old’s ever growing vocabulary, Holy Shrimp! Can anyone believe that it is now the 12th year in the 21st millennium? I mean, come on! 2012?!? I remember growing up in the 80s and getting my jam on to Prince’s “1999” while trying to imagine what the world would look like […]

It’s All Starting to Make Sense…

December 5, 2011 by Mindy 2 Comments

Since accepting the position as the Head-Lady-In-Charge around these parts I have been forced to realize some truths: 1) Stay-at-home mom = easy access to food pantry and Cheez Its… All. Day. Long. 2) Stay-at-home mom = growing collection of yoga pants. 3) Stay-at-home mom = slight addiction to online shopping. 4) Stay-at-home mom = […]

Holy Slacker, Batman!!

November 23, 2011 by Mindy 3 Comments

Hello my friends! It is I, your resident “slacker” blogger. I’m not going to say that I can’t believe that it’s been almost a month since my last post. Because I can believe it. Every time I walk past my computer and say to myself, “Why are you not writing anymore?” and then continue to […]

Well, Hello there!

September 30, 2011 by Mindy 1 Comment

Hi folks! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve checked in but it’s been a very full month. I’m sure that any of you with small, living extensions of yourselves can certainly understand. It’s Back to School month and with that comes all kinds of responsibilities that were somehow pushed to the back […]
