I’ve got a cold…or maybe it’s the swine flu?

by 5 Comments

Uggghhh. I’m sick. Not the kind of sick where I want to snuggle into my bedcovers and watch soap operas or evenreruns of “The Nanny” or “Little House on the Prairie”. The kind of sick where I want to snuggle into my bedcovers and sleep until it’s 2012. Are you hearing me? No reruns? Not […]

Alright…so this is why I do it.

by 10 Comments

In case you’ve been following my blog you’ve probably heard me whine a little (okay, a whole lot) about my unpaid stay-at-home mom job. To quickly recap: I love my kids and feel grateful that I get to be home with them…but I sometimes question whether I had a lapse in sanity when I made […]

To Sleep Like a Baby

by 13 Comments

I remember when Avery was a baby and we’d take her to parties. That little munchkin wouldsleep the entire time! She was never the type of baby who required Jeremy and I to take her home in lieu of spending an entire evening with friends or family. That kid could just sleep, anywhere and everywhere. […]

Little Beauty Queens

by 4 Comments

I believe I have confessed to an unnatural obsession with reality shows. And, still, I am not proud. I know that there are so many other more enlightening things I could expose my psyche to. Like reading a dictionary, for instance. Or, studying Birkram yoga. But, I just can’t help myself. And lately? Well, it’s […]

Household Tip of the Week – Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser Mop

by 6 Comments

If you’ve never used a Magic Eraser than you are surely missing out. These little babies are truly magical. With a little water activation on the end of an unassuming little white sponge they become the housekeeper you’ve always wished for but never wanted to feel inferior to. They work on everything. They clean up […]

Thank God for Fridays…

by 10 Comments

I’ve previously divulged that I am of the “non-employed” variety. And to my friends with jobs it always sounds so funny when I say, “God I’mready forthe weekend!” I usually get a snicker/sneer and they’re all, “Um, isn’t every day a weekend for you?” as they roll their eyes. Ha ha ha. Well…quite frankly…hell no. […]

It’s a NEW Soccer Season People!

by 6 Comments

Alittle while back I posted (in shame) about Avery’s last soccer season. You can see that here. To recap quickly: her shoes were too small and it all ended horribly. So when Avery told us that she wanted to play soccer this fall season, needless to say, we were very apprehensive. We weighed the pros […]

My Brand New Baby – Samsung Netbook NC10

by 8 Comments

Whew, doggie! I am sitting here typing on the one and only brand new electronic gadget I’ve ever owned. Seriously. With the exception of a Sony discman I bought in 1993 (which, by the way, had a very bad habit of skipping at the best part of all my favorite songs), an iPod Nano (which […]

Too Much Time on His Hands

by 11 Comments

Have you ever wondered just what kind of damage a 2-year old could do with too much unsupervised time on his hands? Let me clarify…this 2-year old is actually on the cusp of graduating into his 3rd year, a full-fledged toddler, and he is making every day count.Jack has made it his life’s purpose to […]

In Memory – September 11, 2001

by 8 Comments

They say that every generation has an “event.” An event of such magnitude that most people will remember where they were when that event occurred, remember trying to process the impact of what had happened, and remember an overwhelming sense of dread at realizing the world as they knew it had just changed. I surelyremember […]
