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. […]
I Would Never Have Guessed THIS Would Happen….
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, […]
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, […]
How Much Freedom Should We Give our Kids?
I remember it was a warm and sunny summer day with just enough clouds to make it as pretty as a postcard. I was perched on the back of a neighbor kid’s motorcycle whipping around his property without a care in the world. The wind was rushing through my hair adding a cool reprieve to […]
Choose Your Pets Wisely
Okay, I recognize that this is a very random thought put into a bunch of words but I feel it is something that needs to be said. My cat’s a real jerk. A supreme jerk. The kind of jerk that causes a little shock and dismay as to how an animal can exhibit such indifference […]
Happy Anniversary to me….(and Jer)
In honor of my ninth wedding anniversary I thought I would retell a very romantic story about how Jeremy and I came to be… It all started one beautiful Spring morning, blossoms were just starting to grace the cherry trees and…crap. I can’t keep this up! Jer’s and my story is really anything but romantic […]
Punishing your kid…with your other kid.
Okay, I need to ask a question.Do you have kids?Do they, at times, annoy the hell out of you? Do you, at times, need ways tokeep them busy so you can actually get something done with your day? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of the aforementioned questions then ponder this next question for me […]
